Within a whisper

how can we regret
       that which we will not dare?
if the step is not taken
               how can we beware?

within this lover's heart
               patient in space and time
I wait quietly my dear
        to read your lover's rhyme

should I never say to you
that love is what I feel
        then how will I ever know
                 if my love is yet real

time will take it's toll
and I will go away
silent in my love
   regretting
      what I could not say

A personal and poignant reminder of "Nothing ventured..."
Yet spoken from within. Well said.

This holds especially true for me unfortunately. I am the youngest of the family and am often treated like bagage.

This is sweetly written, but oh so heartbreaking. There is no shame in loving--I look at this way--if you want to win the lottery? Buy a ticket.

I know this very well, and I too wonder what would happen.  But like serenity said, "You can't win if you don't play."

Great job here.

in the quandry of "damned if you, damned if you don't", I have always found that it's the second one that causes the most regret. . . better the first one, because at least you tried

great poem. . .

"To be or not to be.......that is the question"

We all seem to stand at that point.......

"do your best and whatever would come would be for the best"

I really enjoyed it..........the flow is beautiful and the thoughts are deep

Thank you

sharon,

beautiful poem you have penned here...
and it poses that wonderful question
to love or not? and its like the old
saying goes...it's better to have loved
and lost than to have never loved at
all! i'm a firm believer in this.
wonderful poem, truly enjoyed it!

take care.

This moved me deeply, and welcome to the forum if I have not done so. You have a good heart and feel pain down where it grips don't you?
Look forward to reading more.
