What Penance never Resolved

What Penance never Resolved

 

 

 

old girlfriends

scars of smiles

wicked tongues burning midnight oil

skin to skin conversation

back seat rendezvous 

racing upstream in adolescent strokes

 

life laughs in rhythm

grown up sighs

shivering from the words we didn't say

just felt

 

no pretentious moods then,

some confessional moments

as our Fathers would listen

probably with a grin

at our stammering soliloquies

 

we knelt with 17 year old knees

expressing something

that many years later

 

 

would reflect

an old simper

of satisfaction.

Oh those confessions.. sometimes only heard by us..
There certainly are a multitude of things that Penance can't resolve ! ..sigh..

"scars of smiles
wicked tongues burning midnight oil".....
