Apologies
It is a gurgling sound in the throat
Sighs escape like vapor
It sinks into the heart
Leaving the heart bereft of all hemoglobin
The gut knots into thunderous ball
squeezing my whole existence
The remorse, the regret pricks like a sharp needle
Apologies choke my whitened heart
Fearing they shall never arrive
I do forgive and move ahead
Though I may not forget
These encyclopedic experiences educated
my naivety
My boundaries are well defined
The escaped gurgles are not at peace
It is those unshed tears battling my soul
And ubiquitously reveal themselves
Those appearances of the rolling brine
Uncontrollable unconditional surrendering
They wish to travel to their horizons
The weaned out of the froth of my eyes
Rolling into eternity
Staining my spotless cheeks
Shivers of aching tears reduced to whimpers
Sighing with a momentary relief
Shutting my arid eyes
I travel into nothingness.
