Pardon Me
Pardon Me
the devil stole my prayers
I his accomplice
I used my hands as a mask
as I knelt before God so he wouldn't recognize me
told Him what I wanted to hear
as the fertile seeds grew quicker weaving the trellis of my mind
each panicle an escapee for the larceny of my convictions
freedom has no key
nor cell
and I am satisfied cresting the gallows
the devil stole my prayers
I his accomplice
I used my hands as a mask
as I knelt before God so he wouldn't recognize me
told Him what I wanted to hear
as the fertile seeds grew quicker weaving the trellis of my mind
each panicle an escapee for the larceny of my convictions
freedom has no key
nor cell
and I am satisfied cresting the gallows

Love this one! We all live in our own cell, just a matter of how we decorate it ; ) Loved your line:
"I used my hands as a mask"
Enjoyed!!!

Oh I love these types of writes! Those that provoke thought, make you wonder and study yourself, if it were you in the ink. Wonderfully inked my friend...Xo

I think all that sparring with haiku has assisted you with honing your short poems. Powerful lines from start to finish, my favourites...
"as the fertile seeds grew quicker weaving the trellis of my mind"
"and I am satisfied cresting the gallows"
This is a poignant piece and a fine example of your craft.
