With which to do, each dream'd thing I wish

Than end my days regretting that I had time,
Which passed me by, but I did nothing with

Regretting past mistakes
results in sad feelings
remorse fosters sorrow
releasing acid tears
recalling how he lied
repeatedly; till you
removed him from your life.

Only Fools Fretting

Only Fools Fretting

Are only fools which will be fretting;
Each end result had been upsetting,
To receive,
And perceive,
And all of this they were regretting.

Nothing at All

Spend your lifetime regretting not,
all of those things that you ain’t got;
Because just like in birth,
when they cover you with earth,
you can only take what you brought.
Form: Limerick

You

No point in regretting,
The past is the past,
I made a mistake,
But it wont be the last.
I'll tell you i'm sorry,
And it will be true,
But nothing can change me,
 Not even you.

Pineapple cake tempted my taste buds
Sliced in the lunch hour of the work
Single slice was not ample
To satisfy cravings
Tasting two slices
Without thinking

Such friends we are,
Such friends we were.
When we were apart,
We cried, regretting
Nothing but our mistakes.
Reunited and pre-forgiven,
Friends you, me, and anybody else
Shall forever be.

Within the Silence

Regretting a dream
…Folies Bergere
Exhaling the magic
Marseille in despair 
Seeking forgiveness
Vive Champs elysees
Mimes feigning answers
Montmartre chardonnay

Divorce

Departed, broken hearted
Independent now is me
Victorious in the court room
Or at least I hope to be
Regretting ever getting married
Could anyone else love me?
Ending of a marriage that was never meant to be

Then and Now

If I knew back then what I know now, 
Then I would have now done then what I do now
For if I did then without knowing what I know now, 
Then I would now be regretting why I did then instead of waiting until now.

Where Is the Fire Exit

beautifully written
heartache i'm spitting
lets split a tear
spilt our fear
nothing to see
In here is where i'm hating
can't let go regretting
trouble for gettin
where i was and always be
trapped inside of me

Surprise Me

Enough of sadness
Enough of longing
Enough of regretting
Enough of disappointments
Enough of extreme expectations
Because i love the peace of mind
So sometimes i just close my eyes
and whisper to future “Surprise me”.

Age a Mystery

there is a creature
of mystery age it is
no one knows when born
its difficult to  gauge age 
every year is young year
never growing old
ever growing young
better  not ask really
how old the creature is
you may go regretting
with  open broken lips

Bones

Written February 25, 2013


She carried her bones down the old dirt road
And buried herself down in Ohio
Between the reels and the stacks of the railroad tracks
How did we know she would never turn back
Now our heads hung low we're regretting that
