In quiet moments

When the silence of shadows
spreads like ink
On pages of virgin white,
Ringing in minds ear
Louder than the melodies
Of love,

Regrets spring from
Experience’s quarried depths
as floods of phrase

to darken prose
and poem

Why
are they
always
About you?

...because it is the best source? A good question...sometimes it is very hard to write of someone else's hurt, but perhaps, we should look there, to see us, better?...

Right between the eyes with that last stanza, Ron! Very powerful and descriptive. A bigger question to ask would be: "Why always regrets?"

Guess that is your muse for now. I love reading your work ... even the dark side you present. Whatever the source of your work, God bless it ... and you my friend

Seems to be true for many, that the muse comes from the lonliness of someone gone. At least thats how I read this. Nice work, it hits you hard at the end.
