Poetry
We talked for sometime, not long ago
The two of us, pensive, haltingly slow
About past regrets and nameless fears
Marked only by long dry tracks of tears
You told me how it hurt you most
That recurring presence of an unfulfilled ghost
Appearing at will, with stern remind
Whispering your chronicles of wasted time
You asked if I suffered a similar dread
And, if so, to what succor had I fled
Yes, my horizon that specter once claimed
My peace waylaid, my purpose maimed
Telling me that all I could do was done
Except to die and reduce by one
The sterile lives under the sun
But how can one simply lay down and die
Without seizing the reins of a sincere try
And though much carnage lay behind
I evicted the specter from my mind
Evaporated time I committed to God
Acknowledging the future with an inward nod
All miscarriage of intent betwixt you and I
No more to be fed and therefore must die
My friend, live no more on a jagged edge
For truly 'tis water under the bridge
