Regret
by Michael R. Burch
Regret,
a bitter
ache to bear...
once starlight
languished
in your hair...
a shining there
as brief
as rare.
Regret,
a pain
I chose to bear...
unleash
the torrent
of your hair...
and show me

so she has asked if she could respond to your questions,

My HellI fall down
deeper and deeper
into oblivion
nothing
only darkness.
the sounds of evil
dripping into my ears
slithering farther
and sliding down into me
filling me with echoes.
terror courses through
my veins
into each cell
turning them against
me
they are no longer mine
they follow another

StormThe day was fine and sunlit,
Decorated by several clouds
drifting aimlessly in the radiant ocean-blue sky.
Chorused by gentle puffs of the morning breeze,
Sending leaves on the streets twirling like
ballerinas in a dazzling and mesmerising dance.

And stitched up the little pieces of memory...

Exit StrategyTo prepare for final cosmic breath
exhaled
echoing first breath
inhaling
waiting to exhale
silent sacred pause
for Earth's final soliloquy
Terminating all humane
and inhumane futures,
healthy
and disturbing relationships,
elegantly excruciating ecstasy
Leaving hell
without receiving Heaven
Surrendering commitments
to health
and lack thereof
Future obligations
and past assets
Resigning...

There are more and more blessings to reveal

In the shadows in which you were abiding?
I apologize for being a delirious drag…

In simple wordsEmerging from a fulcrum deep within,
arises a humming, magnetic pull,
which in each moment does afresh begin,
drenching us with bliss, making heart feel full.

love’s elixir...
