Short Pardoning Poems

by Wayne Wysocki

As the president pardoned the turkey
From a fate so horribly grim,
He couldn't help but wonder
Who would be pardoning him....

precious pink petals
promising peace, passion, praise
polite pardoning

to love means
                    loving the unlovable.
to forgive means
                    pardoning the unpardonable.
to have faith means
                    believing the unbelievable.
to have hope means
                    hoping when everything seems hopeless....

I guess I’m narcissistic
I suppose I’m masochistic.
Fitting into just another statistic. 

Hah, go figure.

I guess this is my delusion.
I suppose I enjoy seclusion. 
Pardoning me from inclusion. 

I like being alone.

I guess I am depressed.
I suppose I am obsessed,
With this I am possessed. 

It is my only friend....

Shh…
Shuttered the stifling air
Confining her innocence
Clinging to a teddy bear

Shh…
Ruffled the blanket of lies
Concealing her trembling
The lids to her cries

Shh…
Echoed the corners of the room
Beneath the glowing ceiling
Of a neon moon

Shh…
Creaked the rays of flight
Unlocking morning
Pardoning night

Jesus, she whispered
Lowering her weary head
Do you know why my father
Comes to my bed...

Shyness! 
I professed to be pardoning. 
I was advancing in seeing an astute man. 
There may, in any case, be different perplexing concerns. 
What else? the heaviness of the breeze all over my face.
Furthermore, the inertia leaves mud scars. 
Moreover, my heart is blurred. 
Is your conduct alike mine? 
Bow her head, she said. 
I believe you're insane. 
Love your warmness.

 Holding a balloon on the beach,
Suddenly flies out of reach.
They look at the sea,
To find a roaring Tsunami.

What’s a Tsunami?
A wave caused by an eruption 
Deep in the sea,
A place where none can see,
A place where none can be.

Destruction everywhere by the sea,
More pardoning can’t it be?
I hear small children’s cries,
And see a chair fly by.

So thankful, to the Lord 
You should be.
To not be a part of 
The destruction of the sea. ...

(I)
When I traversed
heresy’s lonely road,
You stood watching
the mystic moon,
an uneven crescent emitting
fa able radiance that pierced
my palpitating pupils,
as I fumbled to decrypt
the incandescent fire
light years afar

(II)
And then,
you materialized in our mist,
nourishing us with
Your word,
pardoning the
leperous misfits,
your hands sculpted saints
from disfigured tar blocks of
brutish barbarity,
hammering
away at our iniquity
with each resounding strike...

Oh
My soul
Bleeds for you
No time to grieve
The stain you left took pity upon me
I needed your rain to quench my lost thirst
no pardoning
for my ache
inside
me
I
need to
forgive you
for affliction
the stain you left broke my silence once more
