Short Fallibility Poems

With infant fallibility,
we conquer the current to an impartial shore
ever grateful for the restful hours
to playfully balance between sunshine and shadows.

For your slain heart of wounds
Of my contrition's aching
Remorse of love's fallibility
Giving my tears
In a sad memory of my iniquity
Valley of military slumber
Eternal rows of unfinished dreams into eon

My deep regret it scarred our lives
Enveloped in the mourning mists...

Acceptance of life—
The hassles and strife,
With moments of mirth;
No utopia on earth.

Acceptance of self—
In sickness and health,
With humanly flaws;
Just because.

Acceptance of others—
As imperfect sisters and brothers,
From birth and past prime;
Fallibility membership—A lifetime.

I have this disability
The one called imbecility,
Along with instability
And rampant incivility.
I lack dependability
And have no credibility.
I’m short on sensibility,
Am prone to gullibility
And have the inability
To see my fallibility.
And yet, with great humility
I say with plausibility
The concept “genius” –  you’ll agree – 
Really fits me to a tee....

Falling in love
And falling out of love
Are the fallibility of love, Is it true?

Fallacious love
Is a deceptive love, who care
The young and the old likewise falls in love.

Beautifully or unfortunately, that’s life
What we expect,  love never ceases
It must be transparent and fortunate.

As long as we live.
As long as we love
But as long as not shorter than life....

The nest of wires
so loosely tethered
at the base of control
suffers from rigidity
while hard-linked
to each portal of
infinity

until cracks snake
the foundation
like menacing grins,
all mirthlessly mouthing
infallible truth
behind certain
fallibility:

every age rises
before diminishing
to bury discovery
as treasure precious
within the driving
will of all forms
sentient....

My earthly father, 
commended for his faithfulness
is worth imitating, despite his fallibility...
How much more my Heavenly FATHER* Who is perfect
Wondrously merciful, compassionately kind, graciously loving...
He indeed deserves my adoration for His attributes - best to emulate!

*Luke 6:36 "Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful."

A burden. But a burden worth bearing. For whoever the bearer, must confess, his nature. 
His irrational ways. His desire for power. His manipulative methods. His fallibility. For he must criticize, analyze, and scrutinize, himself.
He must be vulnerable. He must be true. For then only, can he bear gifts. Gifts, money cannot buy.  
A realization. 
An understanding. 
We are the same. We are one.  
Unlocking compassion...

WHAT ARE THESE THOUGHTS?
 
WHAT ARE THESE WORDS?
 
WHAT ARE THESE BRAWLING MISCONCEPTIONS?
 
UNLOCKED-UNDONE DECISIONS
 
VAGUE “INHABITIONS”
 
THAT GRADUALLY DECEIVE US
 
BLOCKING OUR VISIONS
 
TAKING US INTO STRANGE REGIONS
 
PUTTING US INTO SITUATIONS, CONDITIONS & CIRCUMSTANCES THAT PLAGUE OUR INTUITIONS
 
YET, LOOKING DEEP WITHIN US THIS FALLIBILITY IS KILLING US 
 
WHAT HAVE WE BEEN GIVEN?
 
WHAT HAVE WE DONE?...

Why is it the intransigent
find the intransigent
to be pigheaded, willful,
inflexible and pertinacious?
Engaging, as it were,
in an endless “tug-o-war”
neither side allowing
for consideration of 
the fallibility of the inflexibility
of calcified recalcitrance.

Stags, horns locked,
dying on an empty stage
bleach-white bones
rattling in an unfelt wind.

You and I
I concede 
You are virtuous 
I am delinquent 
You refrain from forbidden
I oftentimes give in
You pride on your piety 
I accept my fallibility 
You strive to be an angel
Being human is my struggle
Your piety makes you heady
My failings keep me steady
Your prayers smell vanity
Mine spell humility
You believe you can earn heaven
I think it is only given
You believe
You will reside in heaven and I in hell
What if
In opposite places He makes us dwell?...
