Ferment

Fay Slimm.

 

Ferment.

 

Say no more lover of mine.

Lower your anchor, forsake anger,

give time its time.

 

What is broken may be healed. 

Taken as token forgiveness mends much

so let sense appeal.

 

If bent head of regret reaches warm

shores chill might subside.

Low will rise and regretful ferment

can then be cleansed 

by the tide of what we once were.

 

If meant sorry leads us both there

we no more need contend

so, lover of mine, let's start again.

    the longer you leave it the harder it gets ....
    hope you get my drift ... I would hate to think Mr. O might have swooned again .......................... a great poem and one that all should read and heed .................. N 🙂 x

    yeah, that Forgive - part
    seldom aligns with our inability
    to Forget... and so, we often doom ourselves
    to that cycle of unhealed, yet
    hurriedly, plunging hearts...
    there's a genuine seriousness
    to your choice wording, dear Fay
    that insures we read and relate on a level
    very intimate and personal,
    unnervingly-so, at times;
    a great write!

    In true love's domain, forgiveness is always part of any quarrel. Wonderfully positive write Fay. 😉

    Beautiful, Fay.
    Making up can be a sweet, sweet time.

    The rare commodity of forgiving oft finds its achilles heel in the unworthyness of the forgiven.

  • Thekkinkkattil

    Forgive and forget forsake your anger and restart your love .what lovely words.

  • Doggerel Dave

    Great wisdom there, Fay.
    Most significantly you do include an apology (and I suspect implied, an explanation) as an initiating part of the process.

  • Goldfinch60

    Very true words Fay, we must always forgive those we love.
