Error is Human
20 December 2016
Stick measures
Prodded cattle’s spine
Wine and dine
Meat so fine
Red more than colour brandished
Choice that mouth relished
They feed us
Darkness in a spree
Jerking knee
Fear to flee
Heart knows more than what eye sees
Willful chance to seize
Consume me
My flesh wanton gift
Mend the rift
Spirit lift
Still the hunger in the heart
No souls to depart
Lost pleasures
None in mind to hate
Check me mate
Bid me spate
I will waters overcome
For my Kingdom come
They see us
When we split in three
Hollow sea
Trinity
Casting net to kill disease
An evil to cease
Reveal me
Of thunder in dust
Earthen crust
Steel in rust
See in me anew the man
Error is Human
Reading of the poem:
Rise like a Phoenix – Conchita Wurst
True, and humans stand for their little kingdoms, for their faults. What else can we do being so prone to errors 🙂
We can always change. As they say change comes from within 🙂
Absolutely agree. Step by step, error by error 🙂

Beautiful rhythm , Geetha 😊
Thank you so much Syl 🙂
You are wonderfully welcome 😊
Now I imagine you ordering all the words that come to you in the night, in this most elegant way.
Thank you Derrick. Sometimes I actually change a word or two but very often it is raw from the dream
Lovely poem with so much of hidden truth.Awesome language.
