Regrets

There are no words

to help me understand.

Quiet in the trees,

standing close at hand.

You're not far away,

just out of the shade.

Yet you seem so far

as the sun starts to fade.

All alone once again,

after I found such peace.

Now I look to the sky,

hoping for a release.

I never told you how

I felt for you in truth.

So I stand here regretting

you never saw proof.

Though our lips never met,

our eyes lingered still

and I regret my action:

walking down the hill.

I never looked back,

and was never forced to see

the tears in your eyes

as I left quietly.

Now it seems I was wrong,

you loved me through it all.

Until that fateful day,

when you took your final fall.

So I stand quietly,

in the shade of these trees.

Hoping to find peace

bowed down on my knees.

Nice poem Dante. :) The narrators anguish is conveyed very well. Let this serve as a reminder to us all to carpe diem so we don't live with regrets of what we didn't say/do. :)

Damn you're awesome. I can feel the pain and regret in this poem. This is how I want to write for my stories.

regret we all have it as we get older about one thing or another. Good interpretation on regret in this piece that shows vivid expressions.

This is really cool, it is like being able to watch what is happening outside the person with one set of stanzas while hearing the persons thoughts in the other set of stanzas. Very creative and masterfully done, truly thinking outside the box indeed. Bravo!

I haven't sent anyone any read request, having my poetry reviewed isn't that important to me and I am having to much fun reading and reviewing other peoples poetry :~)

Ah yes, the choices we can not make right, the actions that can not be undone...they all lead to regret. Very well done poem, though i noticed, that its not so long as the rest of your poems. Once again, awesome write.

I liked this one. I think it is your best on yet. I like how it rhymes yet doesn't sound corny like some poems do. Its not too sing songy, and it has meaning. Good job!
