Bottle of Happiness Bottle of Regret

I uncork you and hope that my memory will be forgiven

my indiscression and desire with all I am living

 

From the height of depression

I dive into the heart of desire

 

Love but my heart. Heart but a passion

My love lost in all the confusion

 

My heat now beats alone, the skips only an allusion

To all that try, you are only an intrusion

 

The years flow by, you are only a memory

Years ago my feelings were strong and my heart yielding

 

Try as I must, I redirect my feelings

I pour my heart out into all that need me.

Sounds to me like you are looking for a way out of the bottle though your poetry. Pour your heart out in poetic verse and not into a glass. You have a talent that should not be wasted. I will look to hear more from you.

i love this poem. beautifully written. i think we have all been in this situation. those we love & leave in the past still live in our heads, & sometimes we think of them, with love, with regret. i love the imagery of popping open a memory like a champagne bottle. very deep, emotional, & sad poem.
