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. ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". |

Regret.....this emotion is so wasted. It drains a woman doesn't it? This is so lovely. -befriend yourself and you will never be alone- |

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! |
