Hope Anger and Regret By Paul Wilson I’ve lost focus on reality pain and heartaches cloud my view Life shines brightly on others but not on me and you Catch a cloud riding the winds of change soar upon the dreams of yesterday People say things will get better have faith… everything will be okay My cup of faith is empty no more hope too keep me strong I’ve cried myself to sleep my prayers unanswered for so long There was a time when you were so full of happiness and life Those days long gone forever memories that cut like a knife My love… you know I’ll always be there to comfort and help you till the end Blue skies we haven’t seen in awhile together we’ll ride the restless wind A candle burns at both ends upon the alter of regret One flame represents hope and faith the other anger for prayers not answered yet Darkness closing in on time the hour of our leaving grows near Take my hand my love there is nothing left to fear Together we will journey where pain has no place We will live forever once again I will see your smiling face ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul |

"A candle burns at both ends upon the alter of regret One flame represents hope and faith the other anger for prayers not answered yet" oh Paullie--hugs for the pain, but applause for a stellar stanza there. This has got to be one of the finest I've read from you yet--and I am only sad that pain is your muse. Know I love you. You've got a friend. I think you've got a bunch of 'em!   |

You worked hard on this. I think I like it just for that reason, but I like this the most: "Darkness closing in on time" the concept is marvelous. |
