Excuse My Absence Poem by Kevin Carney

Excuse My Absence

Rating: 5.0


Please excuse my absence…
So quiet I have been…
Sorry for the lack of words…
It was something I just had to do.

I tried long ago for the answers…
Always to fall short in the end….
Self doubt and uncertainty, not knowing.
What the next day would bring.

I tried to seek the silence…
I welcomed in tranquility
I searched for inner piece.
Only to find emptiness in the end.

I listened to the song of love…
The music played like a siren in the wind.
Mesmerized and hypnotized, caught paralyzed…
Not able to move in any direction….

I tried to step in a single direction…
In between what might be right or wrong…
Only to find out there is no definitive answer.
Leaving me unsure on how to go on…

I want to take that great leap forward…
To be able to trust blind faith…
Only now I am not sure what it will do to me in the end.
Leaving the doubt and despair of me failing all I believed…

I wrote the words in hopes you would read…
Only to see your blindness, which you will never would read.
I told you I would give myself…
You just didn’t believe how unconditionally…

i searched for inner peace, only to find emptiness in the end---this is nice, i don't know why i like it, sometimes i feel empty and i can't figure out why.

I told you I would give myself… You just didn’t believe how unconditionally… Readers also can't. They live in the world of conditions. If the child cry, mother will feed. From the very beginning of life-cycle begins the condition. But as we know, love is the unconditional surrender, you have uttered it openly. But the receiver....is he ready to believe it Or are you really prepared to give such way beyond life! Not emotionally, rationally! Anyway, poem is impersonally personal, so writing is beautiful. Magnificent excuse of absence.Thank you.....write more.....filter our conscience...... 10/10 Regards, pranab
