The Ultimate Sin










I must confess my sin
I can stand it no longer
I have committed a terrible sin

Ahhhh

I was myself with a woman
And loved her so much
That her face hurt from smiling
And we couldn’t stop laughing
And we couldn’t think of anything to say
And it didn’t matter, because it was perfect

Limitless

I felt like I must be doing something wrong
There was knowledge in my soul of a great sin
This could not possibly be sanctioned
By any communicable Earthly convention

Ahhhhh

So again I confess my sin
Express regret for my crime
I shout from the rooftops
I AM GUILTY! I DID IT!
I LOVED HER UNCONDITIONALLY
I FELT HER ESSENCE UNRESERVEDLY
WITHOUT JUDGMENT OR CONCERN
AND ENJOYED IT COMPLETELY


There are no words to express my guilt
No way to communicate my remorse


For not having done so sooner

    An enjoyable write...

    An enjoyable write; loved the perfect ending; communication is a tricky business when both parties have different agendas. Nicely done. In a similar theme, I have written the poems "My Proverbs 31 Wife" and Losing Myself.

      I am thrilled to hear from you. Wondering if you disappeared, tail first and smile last, for all eternity. But, NO! Here you are. Come back, now.

    This was absolutely beautiful, seems almost dream like in that I have never had this happen. Though i'm sure that the feelings you describe must be the most amazing in the world. To love so wholly, and let one love you in return. This is something that I am working dilligently toward by doing nothing at all, in hopes that it will come to me naturally. Make sense? Often times we are in denial with ourselves, saying that we gave our all, and nothing came of it. I was victim to this way of thinking just months ago. Though i've come to realize that I didn't give my all, it was a copout, and I now know that had I given my all, it might have been returned. We block ourselves off and expect great things to happen. This way of thinking is poisonous and can do nothing but corrupt even our best of intentions. You did a wonderful job of expressing yourself love.

      Our lives begin and end with our perceptions. To love completely, one must take full responsibility. That is the hang-up. Everyone wants love, but not responsibility. The responsibility is to accept the love that comes enthusiastically, even if the one loving is really, really shitty at it. Ha ha ha.

    very interesting piece this one ... but why is loving someone should be considered a great sin , especially if you are loved in return by that person ?

    guilt is a awful thing I think , it wears the soul down doesn't it ? make you question your own sanity ,and it instills fear and doubt in hearts

    I find this piece to be lovely yet heart wrenchingly sad . admiting to loving someone is hard but keeping our hearts closed to possibility and chance is a worst fate yet..just a thought...Good piece here!!!

    love
    Jamila

      It was worded very cleverly - the sin was only expressed in the final line - the sin was not doing so sooner - it gives the appearance of saying that love is wrong, because so many people feel that way... but it does not actually say that - the final line gives it away - hope it isn't too esoteric

        luv it is indeed a clever piece and you know what I like reading pieces that make me think and jolt my mind ...so the answer is no love it just gave me food for thought ,I enjoyed this piece thoroughly ..so sad though how many of us cut ourselves off of love and happiness because we think that we could not possibly deserve it...

          Yes... I was experiencing the same feeling... I must be doing something wrong to love so completely... so completely that I was letting myself be loved in return... completely without reservation... there MUST be something wrong with that... but there was not, there was something wrong with me... but, no longer! She told me I couldn't do that anymore.

              That is not enough! I must tell everyone who can possibly understand that this is not only possible, but expected. It is what we were designed for. Live your destiny.
