[bodytext] => Our sin lies not in what we have done But rather in what we will not do Even leaving behind, what we’ve begun Never knowing what, we should have knew Not speaking the words, that should be said To each other, in prayer or for another’s sake Lost chances of pity, a bitter adieu Rippling and taunting, in loud silence’s wake Those things that you or I swore to do Ever bargaining for, a little more time From this day to the next, excuses renew Errands ongoing, life’s victimless crime What can’t you hear from the bottom of the pool Submerged in waters of selfish immoderation Shrouded and dampened by this watery tulle A failing which lead to one’s own damnation Anathema to all, for a gift that’s not given Love dispossessed, not given a home To be offered love, is to surely be shriven Proffering love leaves a soul not to roam Who or what we should love and have not Promises broken and tasks left undone What should’ve been said, even though fraught Leaves a soul empty, an essence of naught [comments] => 2 [counter] => 174 [topic] => 21 [informant] => navydocny [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
