Regret


Softly waking this morn,
the storm of my night had been put on hold.
Sleepless and without your touch,  dreams were deferred,
to be poured into words read, unheard.

Detached by your absence,
tainted by truth, I confided in mirror
thinking aloud, holding your face in my hands
searching in eyes, photoed just for mine.

Eyes-only spoke silently,
expressing their appeal, tempting me
with their charm, inviting me in thought,
giving weigh to memory.

Locked in my heart are your words,
shared in the shadows of changing seasons
like petals of time,
collected each moment before parting.

As the sun sets on this evening
I view the beauty of the outer world.
Through glass walls, the shine slowly fades
and I breathe in the regret of the day.

Regret.....this emotion is so wasted. It drains a woman doesn't it?  This is so lovely.

You know what I do? I say I'm sorry....I was a (fill-in-the-expletive) and ask, will you forgive me? And then, I get down on my KNEES and beg until he does...(usually takes about seven to ten minutes!) *wink* Miss you, hope to catch up soon, but life is crazy, eh?

The Egret of Regret...
She walks gingerly o'er pebbles smooth as glass
walking away from the azure sky
and the setting sun.
And her only regret is
not being able to stay closer
than a heartbeat away
from the shores of his reality.

Sorry, I got carried away. I really liked your poem!

Thank you Lady, Sven, Tiersdin, serenity, WindWalker, Midnitesun
I actually was just regretting not reaching those of my friends that I usually get to see or write to...no forgiveness needed..no wrongs to undo..just missing them when my timing is off *s and Midnitesun, thank you for the verse:

And her only regret is
not being able to stay closer
than a heartbeat away
from the shores of his reality.

that was exactly what I meant *s

hugs
