FORGIVE ME ! : SONNET 31

Death has sent me a missive of arrival

And I have drop'd whole stuff 'gainst sinking down;

But how to rise to heaven though 'robed off' all

My mind being heavy with your curses thrown?

'So on me lie the heaps of guilt and shame 

If I've err'd you with my misdeed and gaffe,

That I'll consign me to immolative flame 

By whipping me in persecution of self!

I'm stewing like fluid on a burning stove 

Lest my ignorance has distress'd your being;

Forgiveness, as lone 'course does behove,

Will rid me of the burden of unwise sin!

Wont rest in Heaven my soul if died tomorrow!

Forgive me now, for I mayn't see the morrow!!

-- N P Samal
