Love leaves, longing, lingering…last chance.
Time ticks too till things taken…turn black.
Missing means mourning many moons…my mistake.
Wanting wishes wonderful would want…what is.
Regret rings ruefully readily reliving…real sorrow.
Forgiveness fathers forget-ness for…fleeting moments.

indeed, brown leaves are such,
fingertips desert
their sense of touch;
ruefully leaves the ebb
as 'tween twigs, spider spins
its silken web!

Human body, like a town, can be ravaged by time. ~ by poet
My streets are weather-beaten and desolate
my sun often flickers and glows but hazy
lone flashing yellow traffic-light is my moon
the Town Square has fallen ruefully apart,
Tell me, how can I take you on a tour of my town?

david looks at the guy
big
very big
Intelligent
not dumb at all
fast for his size
athletic
the young man picks up a pebble
looks ruefully at his crappy sling
The crowds going wild
jeering
catcalling
david grins
he has good teeth
he's a looker
goliath rubs his forehead
he feels a headache coming on
fortunately
david sprints away
to pray

New Year’s Day dawns bright and clear.
Expectant of an unused year,
We vow to break old habits.
Young or old, we all agree
Everything shall better be.
And as the new year begins,
Ruefully we count our sins,
Seeming to multiply like rabbits.
Down with the old, up with the new.
As Twenty-Twenty on the old Earth spins,
Year Twenty-Twenty One's best, I wish for you!

Acrostic
‘did you hear it’, he asks me in a dream.
‘I haven’t stopped listening’, I say.
‘I wish I could hear it, just once’, he says with a pained smile.
‘the Ode to Joy moves me to tears’, I say.
‘I wish I could hear my sobs’, says Ludwig ruefully.
‘I wish I could see my tears’, I say.
He laughs a laugh he cannot hear.
I laugh too,
my eyes brimming with tears,
that only Ludwig can see

Tolerance
By Tom
11-14-2016
We live in an age where we lack tolerance,
And others actions or words we smother.
Concerned entirely with our selfish agenda,
And filled with hatred toward our brother;
We often try to decapitate with words,
Then ruefully seek some way of undoing.
By excuse or outright denial, we’re saying,
My thoughts, perhaps you’re, misconstruing.

Lyric
Braggadocios Colonel McBragg
caught a truth bomb
gag shrapnel frag
This sent his damaged, prideful heart
on a flatline drag
His coffin was dress uniform covered
by a neatly folded flag
All those in consternated attendance,
wondered ruefully ...
with fretful thoughts a-sag,
that brain prickly did nag:
What classified secrets loose lips McBragg
had let out of the intel bag

Light Verse
I see you had a hard time
On your own
It's shown
In your unstoppable eyes
Don't hide them now
Break this core of opposing anger
That scratches your cheeks
like plucking thorns out of rose pedals
and ruefully marking their landing
You are on your own
Since you refused my helping hand
Making me shrivel up like rocks grinding into sand
You're making me wonder
How is it that you can
Move on on your own?

Night after night maybe it’s all I can take
Living a life ruefully with my own mistake
Pondering endlessly I often stay awake
Pray, my yearning for you I did not fake
You could’ve been a little more forgiving,
So I’m keeping the heartache as a keepsake…
Everything else I am burning.

May the narrative of your life
be one likened to the torrents
of a creek surging eagerly
against the rocks and boulders,
bubbling, gurgling, splashing
down the slopes - -
so gleefully!
May it not be a woeful account
of many what-might-have-beens
shrouded in sorry, sordid tales
of last-minute, scared hesitations,
of wasted, untaken opportunities
now remembered - -
so ruefully.

A gusty portent hope to amend
Marches blustery winds descend
Shearing the surface of its trite dividend
Silting innocent souls with bleary stipend
Chilling tides with thawing hearts contend
Spring's nuanced rhythms to ruefully bend
Mercurial shadows peace to rend
New years good will to rescind
Fate's jading shield doth wend
Each fortuitous yield to suspend
Chilling residual; dark clouds cerebrally suspend
Briny misery o'er resilient hearts to append

Rhyme
If you just live your life gratefully
as though it has been divinely blessed,
then truly it becomes happily so.
If you opt to spend it ruefully
as though it has been hopelessly cursed,
then surely that's how it's going to go !

Tail-rhyme
Can I speak without being dismissed?
My voice runs silent as the shadows persist.
Your painful missive eats at me.
Your grin ruefully brings me to my knees.
Sorrow and crying tears apart, my soul.
Now I am a shell in the shadows of woe.
Your violent, harsh words brings no hope.
I longingly look to the stars, I can never cope.
Relief is in my hands of metal grey.
Its muzzle is in my mouth as I pray.
Love you have won your prize.
My soul in the silent shadows rises.
