Remorse

Taken for granted,
then glorified in absence,
guilts gift wrap regrets.

  1. I appreciate the human truth expressed here about how regrets might become giftwrapped guilts. And, given the form, this truth is given succinctly–and with a punch from you.

  2. My dear friend. A poem for you this morning. I do love your name and your work.
    ” We have said our goodbye in three different worlds.
    Each time, the love turned blacker and blacker.
    I asked you. When did we die? When did our hearts become frozen?
    I remember you kissed me and you whispered.
    Dear Johnnie. We never befriended love. We just stole from her.”
