Purification

Purification

As I sit, I reflect. What have I done? Things said.
For I feel from the heart but am silenced by the mind. I am safe in silence, no one can hear me here. My mind a prison, I am trapped in my thoughts. But unfair to you.

My world, my voice, my spirit you became.
My life, my energy, my love you obtained.
I understand now. Pain, frustration, sadness you experienced with me. Ego. Trapped in my beliefs, trapped in my arrogance, you suffered.

A thousand times I can apologize but undo the past, I cannot. The future. Smiles, happiness, bright lights. This I am confident for you. My hope, my inner knowing, no ego, no games, no false intentions.

My deepest desire lies in you. I was blinded by lust, confusion, by ego. I let go of you, to say fully would be a lie. Deep down I yearn for you.

To call us one, I may dream. A broken down man reformed to something worthy of your love once again, I strive in patience. For now only a dream I can close my eyes and live. 

Time will tell. Whatever the outcome, my love for you will never die, only when I do. Then the next me will carry it on.

You did an outstanding job showing the scene and narrating. I could feel the longing for the past, regrets and some sadness. But, in the end, you paint a portrait of a strong man who will survive the loss of their friend. I sensed closure at the end. Well done, well written! 

Happy New Year 2020 

So thrilled you shared your poem!

Thank you, I see a light at the end of the tunnel. Many of us act without concern for those we love and don’t realize until it’s too late.
