Taste of Regret By Paul Wilson Taste of regret lingers on lips eyes bleed crimson tears cutting deep into my heart Card of chance played by me greener pastures lured me into another’s game Now I eat crow served up by you bitter this taste of regret Reflection of our love shattered by a million tears from your broken heart Paint a sky with no blue paint my world broken without you Join me as I feast on crow I toast you my love with glass of bitter tears Tomorrow we may dine on happiness and toast each other with nectar of love ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

I've been known to eat some crow in my time too. . It's much better with gravy though. But isn't everything?  *wink* Love you Paullie. I'm so happy you're here!  |

Knowing we've hurt one who loves us, regret reaches extra deep. You've penned that so well and the hope for better days ahead. Rae |

yes all can and will be ok, know of this kind of pain, even with all forgiveness that has been given, to one with the pain, the soul cannot see through to the light,love, nor, forgive self, self hate is deeper that hate for another, i just had an experiance a couple of nights ago, from one i left, not from lack of love, but for it, to give him all space and time to deal with his life and his demons. well its been two years now, any way, i was outside, thinking of him, i have close connection to him, (i can feel and see when and what is happening to him ) i was talking to him, praying for him, giving him gods love along with mine and forgiveness, i called his name, 10 minutes later he comes walking up my stairs and sits next to me, of course he is very drunk and high on drugs, but he looked at me with peace, my eyes tearing, i sat on his lap and hugged him, he said, i heard you calling me, he was with heart and soul something i have not seen in years, before the dark took over him, i could tell he finally felt the love and forgiveness, but then right before some one that keeps him in the dark side showed up, he was fighting the feelings,bringing back the pain he is use to . he left, i pray he gives up the pain of regret and guilt, and replaces it with the love and forgiveness. i pray for you as well. My spirit will rise |

Martie... You are such a caring person. Thanks for the reply...Paul Serenity... Crow wouldn't be that bad if it wasn't for the feathers. LOL. Since my little health scare i have to stay as far away from good old homemade gravy as I can. Thanks for the reply and smile you brought to my face...Paul sandgrain...Thanks so much for understanding and your kind words...Paul Linda...Thanks dear lady for taking time to read these ramblings and for your reply...Paul Nancy...Your words touch my heart and I know you are sincere. Thanks for being a friend...Paul iliana...Thank you for the caring reply, but I must say I am fine and these are just some crazy thought my heart release from time to time...Paul MGROVES...Wow...That was really something how you called your friends name and shortly afterwards he shows up and says he heard you calling him. I really hope he can overcome his demons, because it sounds like that is the only thing keeping ya'll apart. Thanks so much for sahring this with me and for your tender words...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul |

"Join me as I feast on crow I toast you my love with glass of bitter tears" nicely done some people are too proud to eat crow or recognize regret when they taste it... |

Experience can be a tough teacher, but serves us well...shattered hearts mend wiser and stronger when they heal, but sometimes they carry the battle scars for a long time...a reminder to differentiate, to invest what's real. Been there, too. ~ Klassy |

The Lady...Thank you for reading and for your reply. Glad you enjoyed this...Paul Klassy Lassy...You are right, sometimes it does take a long time too heal and sometimes it's better to move on than to invest in something you may never have again.Thanks for your reply...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul |

These are the words every heart dares to wish spoken to it by it's breaker. That came out confused, so I hope you understand my meaning. Sandra (who confused even herself with that last remark!) |
