Forgive Me

Forgive Me...

For wading through
the dangerous spaces
between my mind & time
Where I chose to dig deep
and find...

My inner truth...
So..
Forgive Me if My truth
doesn't agree with you

Forgive me for seeing
but not believing
for watching and doing nothing

Forgive me
for barely breathing..
when I should have been
blowing houses down

Forgive Me...
For corrupting My Crown

Leaving the foot work
of my soul...
for the savage shadows
that whisper in the darkness

Forgive Me
For not having enough heart
to start this
sooner...
Forgive me
For not making this a song..
though I am ...
a bit of a crooner

Forgive Me..
For choosing to be deceived
and when no pain came
Forgive Me...
for being relieved

Forgive Me..
For not living right
walking in so much shadow
I forgot about the light

Forgive Me..
For running with the night
allowing myself to be filled
with sweet...iniquity
as it spilled over
the sides of my mouth

Forgive me...for savoring
it's flavor...
and preferring it... to
the Large doses of reality
waiting at life' table...

Forgive me...
for being the example
instead of the Hero
In My Asop Fable

Forgive me...
for rooting for the bad guy
Just because he was sexy
Forgive me...
For allowing my conscious
To vex me...
As smoke filled thoughts
lay down next to me

Forgive me
For my crooked smile...
and my retro seventies
sense of style

Forgive me...
for still loving meat
carnivorous joy...when I eat

Forgive Me..
For being able to see beyond
the vale..

Knowing what's there
and still... I failed

Forgive me
for being slave to my flesh
scarfing down sin
as I weigh out my death...

Forgive Me...
For this life I live
NO love received..
So there is none...
To give.


Forgive Me.
