He can pretend it never happened
by brushing my thoughts away with the sweep of a hand
while saying the past is in the past
and there are places he will not return to
for he is a new man
and I must agree, he is
but I am still here
and I can't pretend it never happened
when festering beats pound my heart
and karma shouts to have its way with me
while my knees justifiably spread
and I contemplate holding up a white flag
to the plunge of balanced fate
then we'd be even
then I could brush away the penetration
of his jealous accusations
by saying the past is in the past
and there are places I will not return to
for we are all starting anew
and it's time we both forget
but where would karma take us from there?

lobomaoover 18 years agothe wheel it never stops
our turns taken in time
ride the ride and slip n slide
and all over again
what will we find
we've learned at the end
I am eager to know it now
I should just keep quiet
enjoying the joyous
quiet company of friends
remember that giving
is the last part of forgive
dcpoet44over 18 years agoa great piece. the stanza with the white flag is by far the most powerful. nicely done.
TheRainManover 18 years agoThis flowed really well all the way through, which I must say surprised me when I saw the formatting. I usually don't feel right reading single-line, unpunctuated strophes and you have them here, but they hold up very well, especially the first one. I think, when you edit, you might want to take care of that one diving-board line with an additional line break.
LeBrozover 18 years agoA thoughtful read I enjoyed here;
Another thought is that the past is always present
Always a thread of your being;
Ignore the past, pull out that thread
Your being becomes unraveled.
