now, now or too late...

Tonight,
I embrace the life of fight,
Gripping what is in sight,
And extinguishing the existence of light.

Tomorrow,
I am sorrowful
Regretful
And no longer powerful...

Today day is like
A caspsule of our whole life
Every morning a beginning
A start so fresh and clean

Because afternoons
Are so hectic
And evenings 
Are regretful

So thank our God
For life
For a chance
For mornings...

I'm pick myself up 
I say
as I'm walking through the rain
no looking back
I'll walk right through the pain
I can't have a foot in tommorrow
while dragging around yesterday
obsessively regretful 
and steady missing out on today...

I don't need the pity
Or a misery driven sainthood
I am not a champion of pain
Regretful princess
My kingdom is a dumpster fire
But sometimes I can't help loving the parts of me I find laughing in the corner,  holding the matches

A body lying on the bare ground
The person who once my precious
His is now turned cold and breathless
My screaming voice echoes soundless
Crystals dripping down my red cheek
It was my regretful wish
When I say "I just want you to die"...

Neptune's net strikes on floating flames
Her souls sounding faint gossamer goodbyes
Ocean's octaves murmur mute
Dim dives to a regretful reef
Blue grief blurs, sailors say
In twilight tides, widows whisper
Their lost laments for crippled ships

Young love looses its flavor when left to its own devices
Half forgotten on a shelf it ripens, molds, and decays.
Sweet, sunlight dancing memories that pull tears from regretful eyes
Soon turn bitter—
Suave boys exchange tuxedos for clown noses
And earnest naivety is revealed....

The hurtful smile
A life lived in denial...

Pressures exerted from the outside.
Life dealt him the hind-side...

The emotion of fear -
a peaceful, yet regretful tear...

Rolling, rumbling, glistening...
his face is resting...

The hurtful smile
relieved for a while......

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

Leaves are turning orange and brown
Autumn brings a regretful frown
of Summer days, that never came
As fog rolls in across the bay.
Falling leaves form natures quilt
The summer flowers begin to wilt
The garden air is moist and still
Short days soon return for the house on the hill....

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

My Restless Pillow 

 
Crying in my pillow,

my limbs hanging 

as feeble and limp

as a weeping willow.

 

Drowning my sorrows

 in mounds of raspberry 

stuffed cheesecake phyllo,

running from my regretful 

days in ten gallon hat Texas,

when I spent my days

walking with the gray armadillo.....

My words to you are formulated slowly, excruciatingly, drawn out.
I do not know how to make you understand and so
It all ends up in a jumble
Each word rushing over the next in their haste to escape my clumsy tongue.

In silence I wait
Regretful eyes trained to awkward toes
While you shove it all back down my throat....

Longing to be with nature
One time over another
Nothing can be as great
Envy for those who can
Live through life peacefully
Yearning, I desire this

Places dedicated for tranquility
Life calm and soothing
After living with all stillness
Cease to be regretful
Eager for the path to nature
Simple passage in calmness

I am now speechless
Since you've gone i'm breathless
My whole life is useless
Without you i'm restless

I need your love
On a wings of a white dove
In the sky above
I'll write you are the one I love

I feel bashful
Because of what happen i'm so regretful
Without your love i'm meaningful
Next time I should be more careful...

My concrete dried beneath regret,
No footprints left just silhouettes.

I scream through porcelain but cracks don't form—
Just echos of a lifetime; body-worn

An engine heart with rusted gears
Still grinding through regretful years

I've calcified to the point where nothing grows;
A statue dried; yet it sank inside an undertow....

There are in between places 
that we deem as our own 
the slit angered crevices 
of our own regretful drone 

we often do it right 
but sometimes, we do it wrong 
ripping out our nametags 
we opt to live in poverty 
of thought and word 

Climbing on the wild horse 
of depression when we ought to be 
forgiving ourselves instead......

She watches him kill himself slowly.
He's blowing out another cloud of smoke.
She starts to cry, but tries to hide it.
He looks at her with regretful eyes.
He wants to quit for her but he doesn't know how.
She is his whole universe.
He loves her with all he's got.
She goes for the blade, but he stops her.
He loves her so much and yet she has no clue....

this is a poem that was written by my freind. anything you comment on it i will let him know. his name is sean.

sad, regretful, loving,and woeful
lover of her,
who cares deeply about her,
who believed that she loved me,
who wanted to be with her forever,
who fears that she would leave,
who said "i'll love you forever"
resident of my broken heart.

The imperfect sunrise of mourning
Tears glittered by sugar and spice

like regretful words of self tormenting
My tounge of coals is removed twice,

Silenced from former end fights, 
Forgiveness is found in remembering

She'll never know how my heart pings
FM static wet windows and cold 

lost in moments of sun shards shimmering
All the way down the road...
