Premium Member Feral Tercet

Born feline and left forever free to run;
Try but they’ll never be domesticated;
Feral life filled with unequivocal absolution.
Form: Tercet


The 8th Year

In confessionals of doubt
he chased absolution
The devil unmasked
—his penance forsworn  

(Washington Chapel: November, 2021)

Eve's Drop

A priest hears confessions Q.T.
And grants absolution for free
Just hearing a cop
In a doughnut shop
Scares the "Be-Jesus" out of me!
Form: Limerick

Bless Me Father

Kneeling 
in a confessional 
of words
forgiveness wouldn’t come
Absolution
undefined
where beats
— the silent drum

atop dust-covered clapboard
hanging sheets washed virgin white
wind-borne absolution encircled
she sang life's aria

distant sailor smiled

Mea Culpa

What I have criticized in others
returns in me.
That which I despise
I am and have been.
When I stand for judgment
I ask absolution
for my humanity and mercy
for my love.

Freedom

It dims the hope.
Eying peaks of flame.
Absolution ?

Seeking moksha ?
Do not become what
you dreamed.

Blue sky and moon,
where the passion was.
Coming and going.

Forgiveness,
Compassionate absolution,
Restores former rewards.

Premium Member Flicker Of Absolution Rondelet

Leftover dreams 
aimless look for resolution;
Leftover dreams 
flicker with technicolor streams;
Salvation perhaps destruction,
they beg now for absolution;
Leftover dreams.

Addiction

All encompassing
Disease intent on
Destroying our family,
It slowly
Created a chasm
Too large to amend;
Irreparable
On all accounts,
Never finding complete absolution

Absolution and Conclusion

Absolution and Conclusion

Of sins are remission and an absolution;
What we came up with was a conclusion;
We realize, 
God defies;
God's Holy Spirit, we need a transfusion.

Premium Member Pain and Rain

Pain and Rain

On a wet, spring day
Branches drip loneliness.
Sunbeams stream gentleness
Pain and rain stain the soul.
Distance separates.
Ablutions wash winter's grime.
Absolution is near.

Institution

My thoughts are illusions.
A life of delusion.
Searching for absolution
But having no resolution.

Despite being human
I gave no contribution.
I await my execution
In this morbid institution.

Waiting For Snow

The snow laden sky hangs heavy,
as if bowing under a burden
of unconfessed sins
it cannot discharge.

Pregnant clouds 
drag their swollen bellies
over fallow fields
that lie waiting for absolution.

Absolution

My bones will not whiten in the sun,
they will blacken with your heart.
I take new form,
reborn.

Your heart beats in reverse,
this
list
is
endless.

You speak of sanctuary,
as if it were yours to give.

Premium Member Typos Are a Part of Life

Let’s
admit
that it’s true
we can deny
but it goes nowhere
and leads us back to truth
typos are a part of life
those misspelled words by accident
hound and haunt us to our dying days
we only hope to find absolution

Absolution Within

The intrinsic beauty
  of the present moment

Exploding our consciousness
  rewriting the hymn

Outracing the words
  to an epiphany of reflection

Outpacing all time
  —absolution within

Final Absolution

**********

In My final resolution
           I must...
      First,
Go to meet God
         Thus,
Perhaps'....

      Receive
Me in all
Of My inequities'
That which I do present

Premium Member Absolution Resolution

Ignore those resolutions
You know you won't keep.
So, here's your solution
Eat more if you please.
Forget about profusion
Split seam in the jeans.
Absolution or Resolution
Have a Great Twenty-Three.

Thank You All my Souper Friends
 See you then around the Bend.

Absolution

Hanging by the skin of my teeth,
I am ready to quietly lie beneath
and confess to all my sins and lies,
Make amends ere I close my eyes;
Pray that my soul may rest in peace
where sorrows and shadows cease!
