Mick Talbot Poet Tanka

No Regrets My Love

No Regrets My Love
~~~~~
tanka tales
for you my sweet love
no regrets
I would do it all again
tales of our past my love
~~~~
have we forgot time
the time that was when we loved
a country walk us
together memories made
a son two daughters much loved
~~~~
the time that was ours
altercations end in bed
shh no more listen
have we forgot time that was
gazing... counting shooting stars
~~~~
have we forgot time...
how love endured rough... and smooth
hate played not a part
if we could walk we ran halfway
nature was our guide to life
~~~~
memories now past
have we forgot time eyes wide
looking back no void
life was lived to its fullest
you... me... aged... holding on

Laurie Woodward January 14, 2018 at 1:03 AM Beautiful! Captures the feeling of a long-lived love perfectly. Also: "if we could walk we ran half way" I loved this line! Mick Talbot January 14, 2018 at 2:27 AM Hi Laurie, many thanks! The love still there, sadly our mobility not. Thanks again, best wishes for 2018... Mick
