WHY MY HEART PONDER

–     Surajit Dahal

Why my heart ponder

Why my heart ponder?

I, your offender..

What I gave?

Dark love in a cave…

I promised you a thousand lands

Didn’t give enough sands…

Changing me and my love,

Hiding behind the black scarf..

Hiding me I couldn’t speak,

Feared losing in a streak.

This was my only reason

But turned my passing season..

Now I rattle,

As a foolish cattle

Leaving your land and cheese,

Yet to find me some peace…

Forgiveness is one of the best marriage forgiveness poems that appeal to the other partner to lend support and make the move to forgive the partner. As one of the soul-touching love and forgiveness poems, Barry Maltese makes a moving statement ‘And from that place, where you can forgive, is where Hope, and Love, also thrive and live.’

FORGIVENESS

-Barry Maltese

If you look inside of your heart,

you can find forgiveness or at least the start

 

And from that place where you can forgive

is where Hope, and Love, also thrive and live

 

And with each step that you try to take

and with that chance that your heart might break

 

Comes so much happiness, and so much strength

which Alone can carry you a fantastic length

 

For hate and anger will not get you there

and though you say that you just don’t care

 

You can EASILY avoid the pain on which hate feeds

…the kind of pain that no one needs

 

Just make the move, take the first stride

let go of the thing known as “Foolish Pride”

 

Maybe then you can start to repair the past

into something strong, that will mend, and last!

Forgive and Forgiven is another from the list of marriage forgiveness poems for her. This poetry about forgiveness is about burying the past and letting go of useless fights and resentment. Make use of the most heart-melting ‘Forgive me love poems’ to request an apology.

FORGIVE & FORGIVEN

– Alfred Austin

Now bury with the dead years conflicts dead
And with fresh days let all begin anew.
Why longer amid shrivelled leaf-drifts tread,
When buds are swelling, flower-sheaths peeping through?
Seen through the vista of the vanished years,
How trivial seem the struggle and the crown,
How vain past feuds, when reconciling tears
Course down the channel worn by vanished frown.
How few mean half the bitterness they speak!
Words more than feelings keep us still apart,
And, in the heat of passion or of pique,
The tongue is far more cruel than the heart.
Since love alone makes it worth while to live,
Let all be now forgiven, and forgive.

Forgiveness- The Might Sword is one of the marriage forgiveness poems that talk highly about forgiveness. It is being considered as a sword for the one forgiving someone.

FORGIVENESS- THE MIGHTY SWORD

– Jane Eyre

Forgiveness
Is the mightiest sword
Forgiveness of those you fear
Is the highest reward
When they bruise you with words
When they make you feel small
When it’s hardest to take
You must do nothing at all…

Parable of Faith is in the form of a story where forgiveness is shown as one of the biggest virtues. This is one of the marriage forgiveness poems which accepts grief to be the part of the forgiveness process. Yet, one must rise above it and let go of the past.

PARABLE OF FAITH

– Louise Glück

Now, in twilight, on the palace steps
the king asks forgiveness of his lady.

He is not
duplicitous; he has tried to be
true to the moment; is there another way of being
true to the self?

The lady
hides her face, somewhat
assisted by shadows. She weeps
for her past; when one has a secret life,
one’s tears are never explained.

Yet gladly would the king bear
the grief of his lady: his
is the generous heart,
in pain as in joy.

Do you know
what forgiveness means? It means
the whole world has sinned, the world
must be pardoned—

A last word
