Forever unpublished

Where do I start?

To approach such a love

a feeling anointed

like it's touched from above.

Though I've wrote it, I've spoke it,

the heart's never heard.

of a certain four letters

that spell a new word.

It's love that I feel,

and it's love that I felt.

Though our time is now over

To the thought I have knelt.

It's freeing

It's chaining

Like being cleansed

while it's raining

The roaming,

not knowing

has both hurt me

and honed me.

Through a rambling body,

a message so clear.

the mind has now latched

to the one I held dear.

I've tried so hard

to build back a wall

to push out my thoughts

and never to fall. 

But one night in OK

was all it would take

an honest affair 

left my heart for the take.

We spoke just once,

but it's heard yet again.

and over and over

Like I'm frozen back then.

As the sunset came down

under the pink and the red

it was the honesty shared

that filled up my head

Never before 

and never again

had we spoken so freely

had we broken our bread

and when I lay down

to sleep for the night

it's that very day

that just doesn't sit right

I said what I needed,

but not what I should

Should have told you I loved you

More than I knew that I could.

Reunited

Well here we are
here we stand
or maybe sit
or dance in hand

but no matter how
there'll be a when
when we'll be once more
together again.

Has it really been long?
Or just so appear?
Though time's gone by
it's duration, unclear.

What do I say?
It plagues this poor mind.
For though there've been many,
they're ne'er so kind.

This moment has plagued me,
It's come to my dreams.
In every reaction,
the heart's torn to seams.

Because there's just nothing to say
that's been unrevealed.
Only one solemn note
that this old love's concealed.

I'd like to say thanks
for the good times and bad.
Though our past's long gone,
They've been the best I had.

No Regrets

Well when you woke up,
I could see in your eyes.
A simple despair of confusion comprised.
You said not a word,
but I felt in my heart,
that this would not be a great day in your chart.

And I asked, in a hush, a whisper at best,
oh darling, oh baby, what do you regret?
you said with a sigh, and a petulant face,
"I regret that first date and then all of the rest."

She ran out the door
with her shoes in her hands.
I sat in my bed 'till the door I heard slam.
But I just got dressed,
and I took my dog out.
Life is too short to just sit here and pout.

No regrets, on my bets or at least just not yet,
If you keep moving on, no you won't stop and fret
No regrets, on my bets or at least just not yet.
We'll do what we'll do but our past it is set.

I've made mistakes,
in the choices I've made.
Stayed when I shouldn't, gone and not stayed.
But there is a blessing,
in each foul choice,
A lesson I've learned, and of this I rejoice.

So I ask, when I'm doubting, if it's worth it all.
though I know, in my soul, that it is alright.
When it hurts, when it's broken, it's not done yet.
My heart's strong enough to go fight the good fight.

Each broken heart,
has yet come to a mend
and it's ever stronger when it reaches it's end.
There is a reason, we do what we do.
It's farther beyond me, it's further than you.

So, no regrets, on my bets or at least just not yet,
If you keep moving on, no you won't stop and fret
No regrets, on my bets or at least just not yet.
We'll do what we'll do but our past it is set.
