Personal Fault

17 November 2003


To all the Michelle's
I had loved before
Then was it not Rachel
who was knocking at the door

So much for the truth
to be poetic in a lie
Just to be alone
with no one near
to hear the cry

As if there was another
who had already been named
Only in attentions they were
not gained towards her aimed

For this was a life
often unhappy in result
Like the blame could be
placed with God in being his fault


“. . . My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me ?”
Matthew 27: 46 KJV

“MY God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me ? why art thou so far
from helping me, and from the words of my roaring ? Oh my God, I cry
in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am
not silent. But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.”
Psalms 22: 1-4 KJV


a poet who cares
