I’ll apologise here at the start
For this verse won’t appeal to your heart.
So banal, it’s a shame
But I’ll shoulder the blame
’Cos it's not rude, nor funny, nor smart!...

Could Never Be Copacetic 

Chances are Trump can never be copacetic;
But he has often been known to be heretic.
Not worth seeing,
And disagreeing,
Which is pathetic when should be apologetic.

Separated at first glance 
Involved by first stance
Betrayed by demands
Sustained at a trance 
Rush of flow 
Touch of a glow 
Synergetic light 
Apologetic flight 
At once ignite 
A tale of sacred hearts.......

He said he would never hit her again
She wanted to believe him of course
Sincere and apologetic
Her children begged her not to
Her parents were askance
She has been killed now 
A child sad 
Abuse is 
Living
Rage...

I'm all at sea
Defensive, apologetic, weak
Trying to imagine 
How I rose each morning
Reflecting how far I drift still
How the stars do not guide me
Willing myself to write another line
That resolves the woe I feel
Til then, I'm all at sea
Not navigated, agitated, bleak...

Come before you Father with shame in my heart;
Apologetic and sorrowful it remains I am in the dark;
So thoughtful yet thoughtless I do in part;
Repentance I am sorry Father forgive me my sins give me a new start;

Did not finish school
Don't use big words
Want ALL people to understand
Use simple , normal, English words

Other people did not receive highest level of education
Some say they're stupid
Abnormal
Less educated

Need help
Other people think, unimportant
Ugly
Looser

Apologetic
I am ignorant...

I remember when the little buggers
hit the elementary school -
the apologetic tone
of the school nurse
as she informed me by phone,
And the hate I felt
when I went to pick my daughter up
and the teacher said,
“Take her home, clean her up, and have her back in the morning.”
… and she wasn’t even dirty....

I bought her flowers today,
an attempt to beg her to stay.
Out of stock, is my luck,
the gents placed bets 
with the last buck. 

Desperate times,
call upon apologetic rhymes...

As the cold winds blow
I’ll love you eternal
We’ve always been one
In separating ways
Here you will find me
Anticipating my demise
To see you again
And say what I couldn’t
Until that day
I’ll wait rewriting
Reciting apologetic excuses
Here I stand
Where the lifeless reside
Letting the wintry winds gust
Like a whip on my back
Forgive me...

Unto your loving counteanace
are we not a pair to be
forever enthralled
unlisted by humanity
altruistic apologetic
always empathetic
sometimes failed
other time hailed
our times of the here and now
resolving past misnomers
foretelling a price for our present
the power drain from our past
the forgiveness of our futures.
Aye, there's the rub....

O' darling sorry you whom I adored;
Forgiven us our transgressions toward;
the miss intent treatment of each other;
Now We're ever so more adorning, much more in passage previous love;
Darling dearest one I am asking forgiveness so;
I am apologetic to you the one I so Love

Like Fallin in love all over again
you have been very gentle and apologetic
you have been so thoughtful and mildly romantic
could it be you have learned my hearts language and began to read my mind
when you fall in love i hope it's forever
i hope loves touch to your skin awakens you from deep within
i hope you return that touch with just as much intensity...

I am your nurse
I like Southpark
I am a closet Southpark liker
I like a $400 bank overdraft protection
especially during this recession that does not exist
I  wonder if can live without tangerines and chapstick
I like Vets
I like to hear what they say
I am comforted by the comfort I give
I am tender, business like, funny, professional, apologetic
I am lucky to be a nurse...

Apologetic heart
Cannot sleep
Or swallow

Feeling sad
Kicking memory of idiocy
Self-angry

Heavy heart
Too sad to cry
Mirror glares as I practice my lines

Will you answer your door?
Would I?
I over-guess myself, feeling dejected.

Sorry and sad.  Depressed.
I have to try.
Dressing quickly. Love propels me.

Somebody said i am better than this
but the truth is i am not
laughter turns to misery with hints of agony
sleep with chance to never wake
the voice inside no longer answers my pleas
words are embroidered into a papyrus shawl
that hides me from apologetic sneers
living in the darkest lines
searching for the sadness
notes that release stolen tears
Searching for a sadness
that stops all feeling...

sun sprinkles streak over the top of the water
giving it a happiness it did not have at six a.m.
the sun is waking up! a shrill voice says
I turn and see a boy of about four walking the beach

his following mother gives me an apologetic look
“Hi!” I say, waving at her. "Come have some coffee."
I had brought a cup for my husband but he is sleeping.
we drink in silence listening to her joyful son....

Got sand on my eyes 
I couldn’t see my mistake
I walked like a trouble
I’m unacceptably different

Back before the old times
Back when were young and wild
We used to play games
Memories are still alive

I wrote everything in mind
The pieces of memories
But don’t get me wrong
I never throw anything

The will to say sorry
I’m telling to the world
This sincerest apology
Can we restart all over?...

Betrayal, like the coldest wind that
turns to ice in your veins 
That cannot be liquefied by 
apologetic words or obvious guilt 
It only seems to melt when we accept
that people will always do what they want 
But shards always remain and the 
shock still lingers in the memory 
Because you never saw it coming 
But now you watch for it and 
although the ice has melted, the
coldness reminds you to expect it......

For all we've been through,  you deserve more. 
Forgive this fool! 
I wish I could take everything back
But be angry with me, I'll bear
I know I acted most dumb
Probably my brain froze and went dumb
My silly acts won't you forgive? 
My tears I shed, love, to you ill always give
My Jewell of life! ??
You live in my sight, 
I can't let you go! 
I said betrayal I can't forgive. Today,
I need forgiveness. Irony!

'...the great tide that treads the shifting shore.'
   -Edna St. Vincent Millay



Sluggishly the waves steal in like guilty 
lovers, apologetic,
smothering the shore with gentle kisses 
of contrition;
the ocean lies at rest, the surf recumbent, 
apoplectic.

Suddenly the heavens burst, tides no 
longer in remission,
swells that idled now surge into shore
their temper rages,
'sotto voce' once, now they roar like tigers
in their cages!...
