PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

O life! I have been bearing you for so long -- No regrets,
I myself, drink this Hemlock, so no regrets.
I do not even name my sinner for the betrayal,
Maybe, this is my besetting sin, but no regrets.
O Saqi! I know that the tavern and its mood miss me still,
As does your veiled self -- yet it is late -- so, no regrets.
Let us move on, O my heart, everything is fine,
It is but a breath we must preserve, so no regrets.
The emptiness all around tries to make us sad,
But illusions, cannot beat truth now, so no regrets.
With sweet memories of good friends and a true woman,
Let me drink my cup to the full -- No regrets.
