"They know not what they do"

innumerable times
I placed my heart
at your feet
an offering
of peace

I watched as you toyed
with its inner mechanisms
but as a blind shielded
my eyes, I didn't see the
the glaring truth
until it was,
much too late

your heel ground
what little faith I had left,
into minute particles
of miracles, yet to be born

only God knows
my pride, and I
have fallen
but in the falling
I found my worth
and paid with
my pound of flesh
earning the right
to be whatever
I chose, infinitely

I stand by what I say
the words are mine
the thoughts my own,
I am never right
only ever just briefly

I may go to hell
and at the end of time
I may burn for my sins

but you?,
you have to face
Judgment Day
and being unmasked
in front of all of humanity

as a pious
heartless fraud

in my weaker moments
I have asked,
"May God forgive,
for you know not
what you've done"

but never again

I could really use one of your sons over here helping me reach stuff! I have to climb on chairs and counters! They always put what I need on the very top shelves! hehehe -- 3.1: "grind-ed" --> 'ground' 8.2: "compassion-less" --> 'heartless', 'callous', 'unsympathetic' -- Just loved this, Jayne! Kelsey

Infinitely........a prayer to life.

Ann of Norway You astound, you shape a blow of sound that echoes arias through the hollow areas of the brain with corridored magic as it spirals into the core of our hearts and tears away unnecessary fringed threads of ideas, and leaves us still wondering, that is being a contortionist of the extreme kind, we love to be tortured by your words and come continuously back for more. Is it our imagination or is it the truth? Love to you dear Jayne Chloe, long may you reign in your specially chosen kingdom of poetry. Ann XXXOOOO

I am a fan of hard truths

I am a fan of hard truths its painful but the easing of the pain is much quicker ... none of us are perfect we can only be what we are and never judge ourselves ... thats not our job ;) controlling ourselves thats a whole other matter and another poem love and hugs JayCee ("Quote:-For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.

some don't comment hence my poem please do spread as a matter of compulsion and if there be no aversion Appreciate and comment Then no poet nor writer Can lament A comment uplifts the whole It helps the poet To raise his soul Above the clouds About to drain Let him soar high Ere it upon him does rain And his poetry forever does Wet remain loved and lovely www.triond.com lovelyhoney

Jayne trying to find time to vist the poetry sweet shop again after a little abstenance and here I found a 'sour plum' a sweet cloying truhful poem with the aftertaste of sour that makes the mingle of both worth the time taken to suck on. It is true that we need to die to be reborn But the sense of self value is so worth the price. Loved this one Seabhac
