exactly when no one can say
but unto each is appointed a day
and in that day, an hour and a minute,
in which to die

without apparent relief it seemed this day
were fated to be mine
but my last breath never came
finality’s control is obviously out of human grasping

beset beyond argument yet query I over and over
why this day is not of one’s
own choosing

when no pain greater than this moment’s
could be conceived I jumped
the gun and shot myself backwards into yesterday
where without delay my regrets undertook
to put me six feet under


*
**
***
****
poets note: do not worry I am not as depressed as this poem would imply.....*smile*...but it seems my muse could use a kick in the metaphorical behind

naw, I saw this as a vent.

Plus, I do believe we have some sort of purpose to fulfill here and maybe yours has not been yet.

I think we have a couple chances before (I hope)  we get to leave.

Didn't you mean to say... your muse kicks booty??? LOL (And please... metaphorical... just because I present a large target... *bratty grin*) For it does...

Those opportunistic lil regrets can really sucker punch you, can't they? *S*

This is fantastic!!
