My regrets
Haunting me
Burning so deep
Tears cannot heal me.

Unfair
For him
My tourniquet
Please save me....

Under candle light
Remorseful yet the
Key to thanksgiving is in the name
Early in the mornings
Turkeys had to die...

Be happy and gay
When things go your way
 
Be remorseful and sad 
If you’ve done bad

Be eager and yearn
For new things to learn

Be thoughtful and kind
To have peace of mind

in the middle of the night, 
i wake.
i see her crying
can tell she's broken,
why mourn!?
pitiful i am
for that skinny guy
chose his way already
why cry!?
remorseful he ain't
his cock crows anytime of day or night....

If Sherlock was sleuthing today,
the baddies would groan in dismay,
to prison they'd go,
remorseful, they'd know
that (fictional) crime doesn't pay...

Cauldron Carrie with her hair of orange and her tale of spit.
She threw chairs and tables on a regular basis; quite a fit.
The rest of us stayed away, we were terrified of this chit.
She was confident and cocky, not remorseful a bit....

have mercy on me 
for my sins flow like a stream
cleanse me with your blood.

my heart remorseful
wicked acts perpetuated 
to redress bad deeds.

on my knees I cry!
for heavens to bless my soul
my sins blotted out.

Two 
simple 
words,
three small 
syllables –
I wait, 
drained,
too tired
for sleep or
dreams about dreams.
Rose petals
feel like
thorns.
You’re not 
remorseful.
I’m the 
one
sorry,
drained.

I was there for the sweet spots,
  you for all other times

I basked in its glory,
  while your sun cast the shine

I avoided attachment,
  as you rooted our tree

And in sorrowful guilt
 —remorseful I grieve

Once all is revealed the last veil fold
A remorseful quiet falls across the area
The vanished summer ended prematurely
The warm breeze abruptly became cold

your kisses burnt in the
banks of the
holy ri-
ver
sprouts and grow tall
embracing green
tendril twining trees
your sighs buried in the
depth of the  belly of
the remorseful earth
rises and enhance  the clouds
weeping sky
rain in the flowers

Some people hide behind smokescreens
so that they can deceive others,
with elaborate schemes,
hoping to fulfill their dreams on the 
sweat of the innocent,
refusing to repent,
refusing to be remorseful,
concocting lies while precious time flies,
until nothing has been accomplished....

MELTING AWAY

I am tired, I don't want to remember....
I am sick inside i am dead....

To remember is much too
remorseful....i am melting away
she said....

Deliberately her eyes do awaken to a sun she refused to set,,,,

Hope hides her hands behind her;
She does not know her yet....

When i again heard your voice 
As it echoed through the strings in my ears 
I felt remorseful 
For it makes me wonder 
Was i not one of the lucky ones 
Who stripped out the street 
Dancing to the rhythm of 'I MISSED YOU'

Snarky Words
Written: by Miracle Man
26/2023

How oft, toward others,
have snarky words been deployed.
Unleashed without thought,
and valued friendships destroyed.

Once words were dispensed,
we felt remorseful and retreating.
We then spewed “I’m Sorry,”
but forgiveness was often fleeting.

i wonder why 
should i feel remorseful
for something i got no part in
they yearn 
to see my lifeless corpse
those that i've not seen lend a helping hand
hated me right from the start
from the moment my mama
pushed me out of her womb
tell me why should i give up
stay up all night feeling sorry
when my family's got my back....

As I look upon her visits 
as I was remorseful 
I wanted her here 
her spirit and soul
 I wanted her ever so more 
and now when she's away 
how often do pray 
that she would just stay
O' my darling one, just please stay
Just stay my love, never more go away

I don’t mind the hurt you put me through
I’ve been through the waves of emotion
Too many times and I’m through with you
Can’t stand the commotion of the ocean

I got to break free and let go
I got to do it for your sake alone
Collect my tears in your jar
I’ve been down this road before

How far is your love from me?
How far is your love, my darling?...

Being Forgiven
Miracle Man
7/23/2022

I refuse to linger my days in pity,
but am remorseful for things I’ve done.
But when it gets own to the nitty-gritty,
I have the power to change nary one.

For my past is like a read only file,
It can’t be changed, what others see.
So this morning, in thought, I reconcile,
while praising God for forgiving me.

They say time will tell all
Revealing ones true self
A remorseful heart that won't fall
Or one that beats only for itself

They say time will heal a broken heart
Mending all the scars
Right from the moment it fell apart 
And your eyes looked up to the stars

They say time is everything
playing the biggest role
Timing can change our lives forever
But ultimately I believe you are in control...

O Vagabond, of fate’s perforce,
On crooked wood, upon your course,
Daredevil of a sea gull ~
How long hast thou been standing there,
To bob on your distorted chair?
Are you, as I, remorseful?

It carries thee from wave to wave;
I quander, is your mount so knave,
To overturn and dunk you?
So trusting thou must have to be ~
To poise atop a churning sea;
‘Tis not a thing that I’d do....

clear blue
in the mystic
retreating ever as a 
circumstance with
which to reckon
only self dissolved
spares little for the
victim
cleaned to recognition
remorseful more than
now enveloped
reduced to sensation
clouded by radiance
forthright with a 
tip of the hat kind of
class long forgotten
projected through the
window
fatal fumes regarded
as sunbeams
made of ashen
cedar plumes
to the beginning...
