Offer of Love



Responsibility
Rather than
Blame
Represents
A more
Effective
Posturing
While
Interacting
With
The past

Something 
Must be
Done
To 
Quieten
The echoing
Voices
of
Condemnation

Should 
They continue
Whilst
Sitting alone
In
A room
From where/whom 
Do you suppose
They 
Must be sourced?

How
Much longer
Will you
Deny yourself
Love
From 
You 
The one
That has
Both 
Yearned
That you
Fill 
The cup 
Lying empty
For 
Your entire life 

And 

Turned face
And refused

No threats
Of eternal damnation
No scorching 
Indictment
No scathing
Criticism
No shame-soaked
Comparison

Will silence
The voices
That haunt you
Day in
Day out
But especially
During
Those waking hours
Denied

Of 

The solace of Solitude

But instead
Exploit
The silence
To amplify 
The abyss

Will you
Continue 
To taunt
Terrorize
Malign
&
Misguide?

What of 
Today?

Will 
You consider
Declaration
of 
Personal Armistice?

Could it be
That 
"The break"
You've
Been pleading for
Has
Always been
Yours to grant?

Love 
Has always
Been the answer?

What has
Love had 
To do with 
Life thus far?

What more
Loving act?
Would
Allow you
The full
Experience
Of the absence 
Of love
So that 
You would
Turn to face
Love
Where 
You are
Then
Instantly embraced
All of you!!!
