Is his most grievous fault.

Went dancing on St. Patrick's Day.
Not asking permission
Was grievous omission.
Dad broke the dance up straight away.

Fate

When I fell in love with you
I never knew I was making a very wrong assumption of you
Only if I had known I was making a very grievous mistake
I would not have fallen so deep till this late

bound and tethered
held strong with grievous filaments
i struggled not
feeling the futility
and the masterful illusion of my jaundiced mind
she holds me captive
on the turntable of despair

Premium Member Shards of Light

In spring’s exploding shards of shining light,
Of winter’s grievous garments, we’ll take flight!
And with the birds and butterflies we’ll play:
For sorrow’s match, ‘tis simply summer’s day.

When it’s quiet my heart aches for Bleu

My husky companion so fluffy and true

His absence has taken a grievous toll

His spirit left a pawprint on my soul

Each time the wind howls I miss him anew

Premium Member This is What Treason Looks Like

Now there once was a man called Obama
who did more grievous harm than Osama.
   At Hillary’s coax
   they conspired a hoax
so coming your way is some bad karma!

Master Plan

a master plan without a plot
feelings displayed, quickly dropped
not connected like domino dots
forming a thick and grievous clot
I said I do but you cannot
as inside it spoils and rots
it was always a long shot

Premium Member What Do We Mean By Grievous Matter

By ‘grievous matter’ with regard to sin mean that the thought
Word or deed which is committed must be either bad in itself
Or severely prohibited
And therefore sufficient to make a mortal sin if we deliberately yield to it

fanatical melange of meditation

Premium Member Retrieved, the Tears

   Blocked out, the memories
     of what ruined our young lives

   Grievous errors of judgment made
     long-buried in archives
  
   Suddenly retrieved, along with our tears
     ~ over such trifles washed oceans of years

Menders

Our world is torn;
We must be menders,
Carers helpers and defenders,
Brothers, builders and befrienders--
Though the ripper's evil slashes
Flay the world to grievous gashes--
We must mend  and employ
Needles of kindness and threads of joy.

From Impervious To Nervous

Then, he’d looked quite impervious, 
Now, you can see: damned nervous
The present soon the previous,
Past triumph no more envious,
His change: shamefully obvious…

From ‘impervious’ to ‘nervous’
Journeys end in the grievous;
Like voyages perilous:
Satanic and mischievous.
