Poetry || SubmissionsFive Poems by Charles KormosApologies We have come here to sincerely apologize, solemnly apologize for the sins and crimes committed before our time by our fathers and grandfathers. Our laudable example also calls on our children and grandchildren to solemnly and sincerely apologize for the sins and crimes committed before their time by their fathers and grandfathers. The News Every hour on the hour the news bulletins start with today's victims, followed by the burials of yesterday's. Next come the anniversaries of ancient tragedies and the misdeeds of our traditional enemies. Everybody is against us. We stand alone, but nothing shall stop us from fighting each other tooth and nail for money, position and power. Monday The wasted years and women loved, they failed to teach him what and how, when to advance or just stand still. When to retreat, he thinks he knows, and then regrets the chances missed. Desire, dormant, hesitates. Once it is stirred, and wide awake, delusion stops the renegade. And yet, the longing still persists. The stand-off holds, dissolves and drowns. A mutual lure reciprocates. Too Many Too many mothers survive their sons. The sages say there should be more. Too many boys are fatherless sons. The sages say there should be more. Too many sages say there should be more orphans and widows. And their number grows. Too many childless mothers bereaved lovers unborn sons. Too many sages. Letters The most intriguing parts of a letter are between the lines: what remains unsaid, withheld, implied; the hurts, disappointments, intentions. You fill the blanks with your own illusions, interpretations. The real contents of a letter are between the lines and just as misleading as the words half-heartedly shielding their deceptions.
