Regretful Poems

regretful son

You can go to blazes the angry son said
The next day his annoying father was found dead
Son regretted these final words all of his life
Never enjoyed another day, partied or took a wife

Others tried to sense some sense into him
They could not get through to sorrowful Jim
He was determined to punish himself the rest of

Regretful Sleepless Nights

My eyes are sore from weeping,
Heart, not up for drinking,
Hands, cold from writing,
Mind, ached from worrying
Smile, vanished from faking...

These thoughts are dumb,
The colds’ made me numb,
What I thought was within my thumb,
What I thought I’d become...
While waiting for sleep to come

REGRETFUL VACATION


Every thought,
came back,
to you,
pitiful indeed.

Camping in my,
thoughts,
an unpleasant,
nights unrest.

Morning was,
no better,
the smell,
of hot coffee.

The wood fire,
burning,
last nights
desires.

The lake,
ripples,
with sounds,
I remember.

Can you,
hear me crying,
when,
it's storming?

Splashing in the,
waves,
beneath, 
the sun's rays.

The smell of regrets,
repulsive,
like dead fish,
rotting on the shore.

The roar of motors,
out boards,
inboards,
the throttles of life.

Sleeping beneath,
the stars,
my heart forever,
aches.

Regretful Zleeper

I have been constantly sleeping a million minutes, my dear
I have wept about a million tears and I don’t feel cheer
I have crept a million miles just to smile ear to ear,
Waiting for some kind of relief and happiness to draw near…

Just to get here, just to get here
Are you all ears? Are you all

Frozen In Disguise

What made this day a chill 
suchlike an approaching winter,
where clouds absorbed the lit,
of the melting heat of summer?

What gave the sky a pour
of a storm with gloomy water?
Brought by the dimmed clouds,
was the rain of howling somber.

What forced the light to hide
above the mourn of a day?
Shading the dampened land
with a tone of mostly

Regretful Choices

I make many decisions in my life,
In the moment of heat
But as they start sinking in,
It pierces through my soul like a knife.
It leaves behind a huge scar
That I want to hide
I end up making choices again
causing a series of war.
Now there is chaos,
between my mind and heart
And the cycle of regret repeats
Causing them to

A Regretful Mistake

(A Regretful Mistake)

Aren’t I doing a mistake intentionally,
By living my life as if I were to live eternally,
When death would take place eventually?

Indeed, I am doing a mistake intentionally,
By deceiving myself mentally and spiritually,
When death is a part of reality.

How foolish can I be,
For not accepting death as a part of actuality?

So, when I reach

A Regretful Dream Awaking To Find It Has Slept With Pop Culture All Over Again

I sat at a table
It was a table for one;
There was a mirror
And a pay phone

Seated at the head,
They had all brazenly said:
"This, is ahead of its time"
- Then someone with an agenda 
Started forming the lines,
Behind ulterior motives 
To be the first to capitalize.

And pretty soon, 
With the grand accessories 
Of these mock identities,
We

A Regretful Temper

Oh what a dire regret to lose one's love

A play of fate

Would you say?

Or rather a play of my own luck

Thrown upon by the evil sense

To dream and scream 

I used to 

To throw tantrums

I used to, every now and then

Pounding my fists

And requiring that my needs be met

Now, having lost the lover at hand

Regretful

REGRETFUL
Once more and ever sorrowful
I see the bitter past
Can I perceive tomorrow till
The dark of night has passed

With time the damned 
Take heed and heart 
Past deeds they whimper still
Conscience jams the nutter part
So says the whip-or-will

Regretful Reflection

There is contempt in the voice internally scolding….

Backlash at memories past as they flash
An inner-war ensues, battle after battle
Revolted steed threw rider from saddle
 War rages on, the death toll rises
Death to rationale concerning my vices
Refreshing to see…

But what of this empty…
Empty void seen only through clarity forced
…lacking feeling, compassion, remorse
torn by pain denied,

Regretful Choice

At the tender fetal age of six weeks old,
fingers, toes, & a heartbeat he had I've been told.
It continues to hurt so deeply & bad.
This is why I still regret & get so mad!
For a precious life I stupidly terminated,
had only I used common sense & avoided becoming impregnated.
I truly wish I could undo my
