I Am Sorry by poetictwenty(m): 3:02pm On Aug 03, 2020 |
I am sorry I caste this words on the oceans Hoping that fate will be a tide sailing it to your path. This is not a word of a man on a dying bed, But one who has seen the wrongs in his rights of yesterday. So, I build my sorry heart on this imperfect unstructured poem. Hoping it will be standing when you come looking for me. I'm sorry for the list of lies I sold to you yesterday; The mansion and cars for mama, The privates jet for Papa to go see the world. And the hope of better tomorrow I promised to be yours. They were all dreams planted on the soil of my minds. I'm sorry for being a bad farmer; I planted those seeds in my thought yesterday, But it couldn't grow into a tree; It died! The gods denied it sunlight and rain. It only knew the colour of the moon, For it's days has been a dark night. Maybe,I was a bad farmer planting on a poor soil; A lazy farmer who couldn't travel to the clouds to fetch sunlight and rains. I am sorry if I came across as a saviour; Maybe, I thought I was, when I am only a debris left at the shores by the tide. Maybe I took the world as my personal project, When I was only but a sand in a desert. Don't mistake this as words of a defeated man. I am just a man who has defeated his fears. If tomorrow travels on the journey of forever, Please, paste this on the vehicle conveying me to mother Earth. Maybe ,it will be a time to say sorry to all that lived in my heart. (2020) 1 Like |
