I poured a cup of coffee, while the rain was pouring down. The cloudy sky a heavy hand, on our south Texas town. I walked out on the front porch, and I leaned against the rail, And for the thousandth time, I asked myself just where I’d failed. Was it time I didn’t give you, as I spent it on the job- Was it failure to consider, it was you my work did rob? Or could it simply be that, when the push turned into shove- We thought about it carefully, and then fell out of love? I really cannot answer all the questions life does pose- My mind is filled with sad regret; I crushed a lovely rose. The tender flower of first love, so delicate and pure- The harshness of reality, so seldom can endure. I wonder why the hand of fate, in arbitrary choice- Does twist the tapestry of lives, give pathos to their voice. Sometimes it seems, that darts of doubt, like lightning from above- Shatter hearts, and hearths, and homes, when we fall out of love. |

Hey G.S. a truely sensitive piece from your heart. I understand what you mean, the longing and regret, you've captured it well. Nice to see your work here again. When I first started out here in Passions, you were one of the first ones to reply to my poem and bid me welcome. Glad to still have you around. Take care. |
