three times the C**k crows

 

 

I am not in denial,

just refuse to admit

 

that I love you,

 

love you

 

 

love you

 

nope, 

 

won't say it

 

never 

 

ever

 

say

 

I love you

 

love you

 

and if you quote me on that

I will deny

that I

 

love you

love you

love you.

This is a strong one. Denial! All the stories of regret and we are yet to understand the result of denial.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I wonder if we ever will, supernova...I wonder if we ever will.
thanks for your words,

You're welcome J.

Oh my, this is a strong write J. Denial I do believe is a coping mechanism if we feel out of our comfort zone in a place perhaps where we feel we shouldn't be. I can only empathise here dear J.

thank you for your understanding, Chris,
I was hoping readers would see past the apparent simplicity here. You have...others have.
I am grateful for that.

Denial is a everyday thing if we look deeper into us. Do we accept ourselves as we are? I could have been, or I should have been always coming to our minds. We basically forget selecting between choices and regret later on. Denial gives lots of peace of mind by being in our comfort zones. Denial is not the best policy still it has its own merits. If st. Peter acknowledged the fact, he knew Jesus he might have been in trouble. Being with God himself for long time if St. Peter denies the truth for us, it may be harder. I may say Pilot was different and smart at least he tried to stick with truth but failed and he washed his hands as a symbol saying I do not hart in falsifying the truth, The wife of pilot tried for the same for advising her husband to do the right thing. I empathize with the person in the poetry for denial of truth. Thought provoking poem.

Denial never works in the end. The truth will out, one way or another. Peter didn't believe it, but when that rooster crowed the third time, he went out and wept bitterly.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, he did do that, didn't he?
thank you for your wise words, John,

Did I hear an echo? The echo of denial. If we can't bring ourselves to say it, is writing it good enough? Will the c**k crow without love? Probably. I think mine has a time or two.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

denial yes...St. Peter, the c**k crowed...
I am no saint...but the speaker of this poem is in denial....too easy to fool ourselves, eh?
thank you Bill.

I thought it was funny that when I read your response without logging in the site had bleeped c**k.
