PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

i can think of 

490 sins of  

omission and 

it'd  

break my heart 

to see you for give 

me  

for any one  

of them 

it took us

a quarter century 

to polish 

this pearl of great 

price 

25 years 

in babylon 

my love 

a long time 

to set the 

“captive” free 

half my 

life 

to find the words or 

rather 

to forget 

to embrace the 

wisdom 

of the flesh 

be-fore the letter’s 

tyranny

now i see

clearly now the

writing on the

wall of the heart

had i not then

that would truly

be un4giveable

now knee deep 

in the jordan 

you 

hold my hand and 

all i wish 

4 

are 24 more 

years 

making more 

memories with

you 

they say there’s 

an angel in 

side of us all 

but i say 

unto you there’s 

two 

and while the one rises 

the other must fall 

they arise together 

and neither could the one 

ex ist with out 

the other 

this is a 

truth so confounding 

God herself 

became flesh just 

to ex-press it 

though the light shines 

in the darkness it is not 

overcome 

nor is it 

com-prehended 

were we to listen 

to the better angels of our 

nature 

they would 

inevitably 

redeem us 

from this un-whole-y 

communion 

such creatures as we are 

mixture of piss and 

shit and light 

must not the stillness 

within 

ascend to the heavens 

just to 

comprehend it 

simple truths preclude 

their opposites they 

say deep truths include 

their opposites 

c'est la vie in 

a hope(ful)ly relative 

uni-verse 

male and  

female black and 

white wave  

and particle the 

relations proceed the 

relata the whole  

cannot be reduced to 

the sum of its parts 

i say this and you 

disagree 

appropriately 

how else could it 

BE literally 

the entire universe  

trying to per- 

ceive itself  

through this one 

eye
