Regrets

Perhaps regrets sadly Burn holes where pain forms Even loving madly Won’t stop these dark storms Flaming comets burning Souls joined two as one Wanting, lusting, yearning Fire that lit the sun Dreamers, lovers thwarted You were my soul’s light Argued, angry, parted Guilt paints that black night Praying angels’ embrace Wrap their wings ‘round you Lonely silence replace The love, once, we knew. ___________________________ March 8, 2018 Written for 88 Syllable Contest Sponser: Joseph May (a/c =3 words/2 syllables b/c = 5 words/1 syllable rhyme:abab) Verified in Howmanysyllables.com
