Forgive me, oh please, forgive me; the error of my ways
The weakness of that failing shall forever mark my days;
Mistakes now seem so bold in the day of light reflected
Easily would have been naught, had all dots connected
Thus to any point other than the one where my mind strays
How was the path intended led so very far astray?
Your sole knight in shining armor tarnished beyond dismay
Wholly destroyed the one love that I should have protected
Forgive me, oh please, forgive me
May sweet mercy be yours to find and grant to me someday
Your heart was never something to be treated so blasé
Never knew that this heart of own could be so affected
Never knew that this deep pain would be the cost collected
Your love was all I had, and I threw all I had away
Forgive me, oh please, forgive me

Trying my hand at a Rondeau
Raivenne-lations 
Beautiful — addressed directly to God?
Sorry, just your generic “he messed up, she kicked him to the curb and now he wants back in”. Though now that you’ve said it, I can kind of see how that line of thought would work. I like it.
powerful,
Glad to see you write for the theme.
Cheers.
Happy New Year.
Sometimes the theme do spark the muse. Thanks Morning.
You’re on a roll! Another excellent write!
Thanks Charles.
Wonderful Ravienne.. love how you expanded the Rondeau.. like a prayer or a hymn almost directed to where you want. Beautiful…
Thank you, Bjorn.
Ahhh, there’s nothing quite like the contrite fool is there. Nice rondeau, and I really like the longer lines.
Smiles, contrition for one is almost always some form of schadenfreude for another, yes? Thanks Tony.
Oh so well done Raivenne, so well done. Beautifully done!
Anna :o]
Why thank you, Anna!
nice…the tarnished knight in shining armor is a strong image….the last stanza reads almost like a prayer or psalm….
Perhaps begging forgiveness to both his erstwhile lady and his deity for the error of his ways. Thanks Brian.
I like refrain, echoing the contrite heart ~ Good work on the form too 🙂
Thank you, Heaven.
Sometimes apologies are way too late. Nicely done, form and content blend together very well!
Very true, thanks Nico.
Very nicely done! Tarnished knights are quite often dented too – great rondeau!
Dented in deed and indeed. Thank you, Shanyns.
A rondeau of romantic regret!
It happens. Thanks Rowan.
It is hard to find love and equally hard to bequeath it all.
Very True. Thanks Vandana.
We all have those regrets, in some shape or form. A poem well-written!
Very true Freya, thanks.
I like the longer lines when one wants to say much more…it is still a
rondeau and is effective here in getting more particulars across to the reader……well done on forgiveness, a complicated subject.
Thanks Katy!
Very powerful poem…and these characters are connected forever …no matter what
Thank you.
At least some words are expressed in the area of forgiveness.
A good expression and I also like long sentences.
Thank you Sharon.
