Best to absolve
the guilty
to hold pain
overfills the vessel
perpetrator and victim
awash in the same
liquid shame
spill this sorrow
let it become
a drop
in the vast
ocean.

I know I have a source of strength
An orbit around the sun
A sum greater than the parts
An inner wisdom

But my feelings are still there
Not some screen in a theater
And the actors exit stage right
I'm left alone in the spotlight

Because even if I'm not there
Rivers run their due course
The sun still sets in the west
Stars still take its place

But my mind is an open ocean
A dark and tepid pool
Mixing feelings of forgiveness
With rushing waters of emotions

And all at once
It just too much

Like a bird with a damaged wing
I know winter is coming
But I still try to fly away

Short poems
Are the very successful on this site
Because?

People don't want to commit to thought

This is
A chronic complaint of mine
And still

I may be sick, I live on without dying

I don't know how it could be
I only understand that it is
That's enough for me
I still am going to love

I don't know when the change
I only saw it later
When it is too late
I am still going to love

Easy come
Easy go
That's why I'm glad to know

You were never easy
A more complicated thing
I'll never know

Still you know I love you
And I know you love me
Let time heal all the wounds we caused

And then

Easy come
Easy go
I'm sorry I'm so complicated

Because in reality
I'm only a man
With nothing in the world
