PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I will not tell my age today,

Although I'm not ashamed.

I speak of deeper, purer things,

And those will here be named.

I've been a partner with life's GUILT

For all my adult years.

I've regretted choices that I made,

Which brought me many tears.

Committment always took me through

When others would give up.

But sometimes living with the task

Was a bitter cruel cup.

However, though I must admit

Those times were very few,

I chanced upon a joyful spell

The day that I met you.

I know not why the powers that be

Chose such a time as this

To deny us of a meeting

Or a friendly glancing kiss.

I only know that if I live

To be a hundredfold,

I won't regret the dreams we shared

And the love we never told.
