Regrets
Crowded days
Lonely nights
I wish you were by my side
***
Stroke of night
Hold me tight
Pull me in your arms tonight
***
Speed of light
Pace of flight
Blur the lines of time and tide
***
Drunken plight
Lost my might
Pity I let you off my sight.
***

Welcome to the fragments of my mind. Thoughts. Ideas. All once a chaotic yet artistic mess, before I expanded them into entire, complete poems.

I AM
This is not who I thought I would be. Before my family was captured and forced into slavery, I had aspirations of becoming a wealthy business owner or possibly a scholar and philosopher. Becoming a warrior was the furthest thing from my mind. Unfortunately, our Roman conquerors had other plans.

Poignant and love the rhyme. It's very beautiful. It's been a while since I have read a short elegy.
I love the rhyming in this, it adds something special to an already beautiful piece. Absolutely beautiful and powerful and yearning. Well done.
Such a simple but beautiful expression of regret. The rhyming somehow addded to the poignancy ot it 🤍
I liked this. Somehow you framed regret in such a beautiful way!
