Unforgivable Poems

Unforgivable

I'd love to dry out your arteries,
and expose all your pleasantries.
Lose you in the deserts braid,
and use you as vulture bait.

I'd drop you off the highest tower,
into a monster eating flower.
Id collect your scrap metal,
throw it into acid and let it settle.

I'd hunt your hulking form,
unafraid of your silver scorn.
I'd drown you with my own hands,
Because as it stands,

You threaten my own
You alone
Must go
Into hell below

For you are a plight bringer,
Dear person in the mirror.

Unforgivable

What unforgivable sin must one commit to be reincarnated as a slug?

Unforgivable

You broke my heart, crushing it with your lies
until it couldn't bear the weight of one more.
And I lost sight of the love in your eyes,
obscured by shadows that weren't there before.

Hope never wanted to believe the truth,
as long as there was a chance, Doubt was wrong.
And I kept blaming the jitters of youth,
feeling confident our bond was still strong.

Warned that I was being played for a fool,
I wasn't quite ready to abandon trust.
For I didn't believe you'd be so cruel,
as to exploit love, to satisfy lust.

When lies poison what makes life livable,
it's beyond wrong; it's unforgivable.

Unforgivable

I am feeling the wrath of being unforgivable. 

A situation which everyone thought was forgettable.

But in me there is a lack of bliss. 

The smiles around me seem like voices that hiss. 

It is as if all the shadows are more severe. 

Resentment is random and startled by fear. 

It is time to pack up my hope to hide in the wild. 

And people will wonder why I’m running from a crisis so mild.

Unforgivable Are Our Sins

Unforgivable

Night falls on day
these heathen times,
and clouds of gloom mask
even the Sun above.
Miles of water, ever lapping
frantically at our sinking shores,
yet never a pristine drop to drink
piteous is the irony.

Gasp for breath, ye who
choked this planet, intoxicated
by parochial pleasures.
In your dying breaths, beg
for a panacea that the meek soil
begged you for, so long.

And be warned,
for the sins of the father are immortal.
There shall come a day when
courts shall arise on your graves,
no hellish miasma can fog the
injustices you owe to your children,
and, before all the hell you've bequeathed,
you shall be sentenced for your sins.

Paradise is truly lost in our midst,
and in our fleeting wake, what lays
but a sodden wasteland for they
upon whom our greed has thrust
the greatest atrocity ever,
to live in inferno with no respite.

Unforgivable

Unforgivable, says ego
Rooted in mind-body
Narrow judgments, loathe to forgo
Nurturing thoughts shoddy

When bliss mists love showers
Know, there are no ‘others’
All souls are our brothers

When love unstable
Unforgivable

Unforgivable

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.  -- Luke 6:37

I crossed the line
I spilled the wine

The rest of my life, I am unforgivable
In crowds, in families, in my own chapel

I am here to be shunned
There is no victory to be won

Yet everday I still prepare a bowl of fruit
Hoping to once again rethread my suit

Come and break bread with me
Remove the spear that is there but you cannot see

I am a man in desperate need of a hug
Look below, we stand on the same stained rug

My Unforgivable Sin

A few days before Thanksgiving,
My sister was not among the living.
Time to celebrate and be giving
Without her, was emotional missing.

Day of giving thanks and blessings
With strong friends and family bonding
Instead mourning and weeping
When our hearts were breaking.

I stare, unable to utter a sound, bagging
To wake up from this nightmare; hiding
The pain, but I can't stop shuddering.
How does one deal with the death of a sibling?

My unforgivable sin of my grief;
If only I knew that our time would be brief.
I would say I love you with lots of hugging.

Unforgivable

UNFORGIVABLE

Hey Joseph May my dear Souper and poet,
I’d pressed the send button before I saw it.
Three special friends I left out,
Please believe me Caren, Regina without any doubt,
Just an absentminded, dreamy poet, you must know it.

Unforgivable For Now

A stranger knowing nothing says, “forgive”
Evil acts, unforgivable for now
He speaks of something that he did not live

A person’s life misunderstood somehow
No apologies, still trying to cause harm
Evil acts, unforgivable for now

No conscience just lies, causing more alarm
There is justice for a reason by law
No apologies, still trying to cause harm

A stranger didn’t witness what I saw
In the end it will be God who decides
There is justice for a reason by law

There are reasons for where my heart resides
My right is to choose with whom I confide
In the end it will be God who decides

I have a right to my voice or to hide
A stranger knowing nothing says forgive
My right is to choose with whom I confide
He speaks of something that he did not live

Your Unforgivable Behaviour

For almost two years you’ve been out of my life
Your mercenary actions caused me heartache and strife

I’ve worked so hard for everything around me
Yet the house where you live you got for free

I held five part-time jobs so I could pay my own way
Yet in thirty years you’ve not worked one single day  

You cheat and you lie with such accuracy
All you ever think about is ME ME ME

Well honey I’ve just got one thing to say
If you arrived at my door I’d turn you away

I NEVER ever want to set eyes on you again
Your behaviour makes me think you’re insane!

His Unforgivable Sin

HIS UNFORGIVABLE SIN

“unforgivable”
she said, when he broke his vows,
then he arched his back.
she was repelled by his act.
a lover’s smile kissed his lips.

“unbelievable”
she spoke, as she grabbed an ax
and approached the bed.
two cockroaches leapt from sheets,
rustling into the darkness.

“unforgivable”
she laughs, “you’re not welcome back”
nudists race down road,
their shame uncovered by dawn.
they’re grateful to see the light.

“unbelievable”
she recounts to the jury
“i’ll take my divorce
and all of his assets too.
i need to reset my eyes”

~ unsustainable ~
her marriage to this leacher.
her bucket poured out,
this saltwater fish thrown back.
she’d waste no more tears on him.

~ unbelievable ~
heaven sent a faithful man
stitched her broken heart.
first, quilted kisses hurt, but
his blanket of love protects.

~ unforgivable ~
a word not heard in her home.
she trusts her husband.
the sun shines on her children.
God’s blessed her with forbearance.

My Unforgivable Sin

Day of prayers and thanks, my sister died, 
left alone you tried hard to save her life. 
I fell on my knees losing hope and cried; 
you let go of your anger on your wife.

I stare, unable to utter a sound, 
hiding the pain, trying not to break down.
Shuddering with horror my hands are bound.
Inside I am drowning wearing a frown.

He steps in my life and shows some kindness, 
blissful pleasure like flowers adoring.
The sincere love he shows is my weakness. 
Surrendering my life is worth living.

I know my sin is unforgivable.
Your silence and glares unforgettable.

The First Unforgivable Sin

When the first murder was committed 
The weapon was useless
Knowing that the soul is what animates people 
He started stabbing arbitrarily at his victim’s body
With the logic that the soul dwells throughout the body, he thought that with one gash the soul might seep out
But he didn’t succeed
Until a stab wound reached the victim’s heart
And that was the end
War is random stab wounds throughout the body of the nation
Unnecessary pain
The point of war is to get to the soul but it’s hard to find where the heart of the problem is
After all these years we still haven’t learnt from mankind’s first unforgivable sin

Unforgivable Crime

When I’m with u a million words come to mind
 thoughts of how you’re so sweet and sublime 
and how It would be a crime if you were never mine

 Even when my mind goes astray
 My eyes spot u right away
your mere presence 
brings me immense joy


 Fore your beauty seized me
and your charm captivated
Loving you is my addiction
I just cant get enough
