When you merely step on me
  tough I am, I'll be rugg-ed
But when you're out to rob me
  regrettably, I'll be mugg-ed...

A Scot of the fearsome Black Watch
Regrettably drank all the Scotch
His wife made it clear
She did not like beer
With a fearsome kick to his crotch....

 I crave regrettably reprobate,  rosary, reprobate 
rapine revenging...
Ready reasonable reasoning rally revealing reprobate

Life:

This wonder

This mystery

This riddle 

That

We all are involved in,

Regrettably, 

Unsolved will remain,

Till 

The last day of our being!

Boar Man


Boar Man was the best at
his job of eating food waste.
He didn’t mind
the truly horrible taste.

Regrettably he’d lost all his friends
because every time he opened his mouth
flies and creepy-crawlies
went into their mouth.

Your book of wisdom,

Have you opened, before my wondering eyes,

Oh, divine nature 

Wishing thus all of your secrets to me 

To unveil


And


I, for decades now, your mystic vocabulary to 

Decipher have tried, longing your truth to read 
 
But

Regrettably, have to admit, to

No avail!

Good,

                  God’s presence in Man

           For safeguarding the divine plan

 Of harmonious collaboration and coexistence

           Which, regrettably, people evict

                 Replacing it with vicious

                               Evil!

Sitting and waiting for something to happen
Labored breathing takes its toll, not forgotten
A weighted chest, feels like remorse, familiar
Wanting to get away from it all, running scared
Suppressed emotions make for much better razors
Make a wish, but no stars visible. Crimson moon
A well placed blade would do some good
Regrettably there are none in sight, thanks but no...

drankly i'm frank
my last cerveza
four beers before

so maybe i'm on
my fifth but that
wasn't a fifth

of Jameson
was that or
was that

something not
of the Irish sort
for what it's worth

for me to raise
my glass and say
cin cin like an Italian

which i did 
regrettably
for my son

cheers was said
by all in Italy but
in his Japanese

heart he knew
i was saying
slang for

pea

Within the mendicant monolithic mirror
The fraudulent faces that are never nearer
For in the whimsical wonderland of Alice
Parasitic pretenders in the pompous palace

As we listen to the pretentious preachers
We give long life to the loveless leechers
For the masking mirrors regrettably reflect
Flamboyant fantasies of life’s nemesis neglect.

Dear sweet Otis,
Days regrettably went by when I didn't see you,
You passed away too soon.
Playing fetch in heaven now,
But still with me somehow.

My sweet puppy,
The mornings are empty,
They feel more lonely,
Cause you don't wake up beside me.

A boy and his dog once chased the sunset.
We were together and unified.
Our last month happy in July.
Until Angels sang your last lullaby.
Otis, sweet puppy goodbye....

delectable dolphins
dancing here
near harbor

Instead of gondolas
white swans float
like the boats

Animals,puff
healthily, gallivant
without tumult

A little bird's chirp
outreaches our ears
piercingly

A single word
has made crucial changes
across the world

And some creatures
are happy about it
and a few are not

We, the humans
are just like other creatures
before nature, the creator

Regrettably,
we pay a lot
to fathom the bitter fact...

Through the blood rushed eyes
Monotone faces stare
They point to the ocean
Who smacks its salty lips

Bright red clouds in the sky
Followed by jet black clouds in the sea
Sandy people engulf me
The mind flying but the body dying

As my soul summersaults through the gas
Utter bewilderment and aggravation
New lost sights somewhere in a dream
Regrettably I can’t sleep 

Hallucination of the knowledge organ
As saccharine as pure sugar cane
Might save my sanity after all....
