In retrospect, I wish I could take back every single regrettable sin!!
But the Sin-Take-Away-er, the Lamb, forgives so I may begin again.

Death of a Magpie

in the last evening
the ceiling fan was on running

came to my house a Magpie;
wings of the fan
oh cut its fly

my niece cried
I'm tried

but after a while,
my praying mat got
regrettable blood

To you

I have made  myriads of blunders but yours makes my heart ache 
That I didn't tell you, makes it the most regrettable mistake.
But,like the moon I will love you silently from afar
Knowing well that you will never be my emotions Chauffeur.
Living in remorse is just something I must  take

A Gentle Touch

Something Sweet,
A gentle touch.
A faraway dream,
here I am stuck.

Something sour,
a slight change in mood.
A regrettable decision,
to find the truth.

A little thought.
A mile away.
A gentle touch,
be brave today.

I learned a lesson;
To love and let go.
To never forget...
The highs or the lows.


Premium Member Trickle Down

Subtle emotions
Suffer ignominy,
Blatant I was
Flagrant you were ,
Savage 
internal blushes,
Lose conscience
Of cruelty
And rudeness,

Drench of shame
Like hot liquid,
Flowing over my
Neck and shoulders,
Trickles down
Along my veins,
Episode regrettable
I feel guilty,
Like a spy
With cover blown,
Reprehensible 
I am  !!

Human and Inhuman Urban Villages

In the place where I live,
there was nothing before...
No house, no constructions
it was total desolation...
Now they planted grain of
development, sowed
bricks, glass and tiles and
invented urban labyrinth
in the place of haphazard and stones...
But they brought regrettable
resulting from modernity:
Fear, terror, accidents and assaults...
Is this progress...!?

Reprehensible By Garrett Murtagh 7th Grade

From the perspective of the main character...

Regrettable decision that I made
Early in my life.
People calling me murderer.
Regretting that terrible day.
Everyday I look at my peers,
Having to lie to them. Secretly knowing...
Everyone knows I am hurting. I'm
Not really okay!
Still hating myself!
I can't look at myself!
Behavior slowly changing...
Incredible pain!
Living through that terrible
Event everyday.

Premium Member Apocalypse Arrived

Insidious, insipid, id-inebriated imbeciles
wage a wanton war of words without wit, wisdom or worldliness.
Regrettable, repugnant reprobates ravage refined realms as
pirouetting pariahic pyres patently a pyrrhic prize.

Premium Member Balancing Life

Standing one foot on boat, one on shore,
spasmodically the current twists,
dark green bouncing water pulls.
Quickly choose which way to turn,
avoid the vacuum of delay;
familiar land and sheltering home
or enticing adventure on the waves.
Decide before equilibrium shifts
and lands me where all options break 
in regrettable sea of sad mistakes.

Culinary Delight

CULINARY  DELIGHT

She was an easy baker’s assistant
I was a  dough boy with experience scant
She had the most delicious looking buns -
The attraction was irresistible, like priests to nuns.

As I lunged for her in the parking lot
I accidentally  grabbed her yoghurt pot;
She didn’t want to risk it
So she squashed me biscuit.

More difficult than I reckoned,
It was all over in a  second -
Messy and regrettable
But always unforgettable.

You Are Not Here

You are not here 
but once were there
(It's a trick of time and space)
A moment gone and gone again
but you stopped and stared
Doesn't matter what you think
because in fact you thought
That was some time ago
time that's already lost 
There is no present
but what has passed
Now future, that's the thing
You see, it occurs in the past
a process called... thinking
So there you were
now you know,
reasoning here impeccable
All you did was stand and stare
really rather regrettable...
