To Love, With No Regret

Though these days overflow with sadness, I cherish memory its hearth and comfort When the ties were sliced the heartstrings rebounded with each lash they laid the sting in the chamber of the flesh My darkness is comfort the days begin to rasp but the leaves of time gently brush at my face tears of compassion fall into outstretched hands running down Opal arms filling the bowel of my soul Its then remembrance comes the pain lessens and eyes dry in each snapshot of moments there is still boundless joy   Miracles of life flash technicolour timed laughter, simple pleasures smile of better days before a fall Faces long gone, shine reminding me I was once, loved, wanted, worthy I can forget bitter years Daylight arrives in glory my shimmer ever dims, finding it painful to cry in the brilliance of Gods When the memories fade and delusions edges warp agonied solaced thoughts will overtake clouding time But, whenever I close my eyes I can still see you all, days we met, and lived, to love with no regret.
