Anacreontic Verse
My last wet tears
stain the starlit sky
in cold frosted shades
As tangible fears
awaken sleeping
distant memories
of aged hidden pain
These mortified eyes
don't recall the tales
my children now tell
of my past sad sins
In my dire defence
lasting episodes
of assembling joy
never did escape
parent's cutting lips
A pale memory
fades in present days
I don't remember
teen tornado years
My acts of dark hate
left deep open scars
ones that never healed
I long to rewind
grains of quicksand time
learn the art of love
perhaps forgiveness
will thrive when I’m gone.
