CONFITEOR

CONFITEOR
[I CONFESS]

i

I have never been
mean or cruel
and always lived
the Golden Rule
but I know my sins
at least most of them
and a deeper part of me
suffers in the knowing

ii

My words are sharp
blood on steel
weaponry
to save honor and dignity
in a hell others inflict
on me

iii

faith has forsaken me
reason has betrayed
and I am lost
somewhere between.

acceptance of what one is
I was about to ask you
what your title meant
till I dared to open the content

soft, sweet and distinctly to the hilt
no one can jilt
as you own up on every hint
that human beings come across
ere they become extinct

and you have a long way to go
ere you too are fossilized so.

take care we all are part and parcel
of an identical ilk

but most are cotton like
you are friend,
like Kashmir pure silk..

You encourage me. Your poetry is hope and light in the darknenss.

you are that hope in the wilderness

you brave the total darkness
and upon my mind
cast a brush full of paint about your life

you are that hope in the wilderness

I shall always canvas
if ever on the internet
I ever had a friend
twas my friend
gere
or jerry
or geremia
to be more formal
