I really liked but my conscience is not so easily charmed! I can appreciate this imagery for I find a little of myself in it! sam

Re: Sinome
The blogit family here shows a lot of concern, I mostly wanted to mitigate worry that there was something wrong.  Re-reading, I can see how it does come off as defensive.  I'm glad you enjoyed it, though :)

Yeay, for saying it out loud. Sometimes we just write, out of no where for no apparent reason. Could be a past life or a future vision. :) :)  Great poem too. :)

Yes, isn't it difficult to feel forgiven even when you know in your mind that you are!

nice poem but...
Ok, the fine print at the end DOES NOT! absolve you. i just spoke with God and he says yo'u're not gonna make the cut off--you know you're guilty. It's a joke Ladies and Gentlemen. Did you mean to say conscience in the last line or is that just me?

I'm sure you'll overcome this worry soon.

Wow Calia... you are quite defensive about this poem...:-)   and truly it is a great one.  I loved it and as an aspiring poet myself, I know that many times one uses empathetic feelings to get the inspiration for a poem so I doubt anyone is going to make any assumptions here... The poem itself is very good ... honest and raw... Excellent work my friend :-)
