Regret Poem by Sandra Martyres
Regret
The seas were beckoning him
Or so he genuinely believed
They helped him introspect
About his present loneliness
He spent hours sitting on a rock
Focusing on the regularity and rhythm
Of the waves as they lashed the shore
Trying to forget his lost love
The sprightly young woman
With a shock of curly red hair
One who had brought meaning to his life
Regretfully he had been ignoring her
In his constant search for power and pelf
He spent more time hobnobbing
With the rich and famous while his
Lady love spent long evenings alone
And just when he thought that
He had achieved all that he wanted
She decided to call it a day
Packed up her belongings and
Left for an unknown destination
He wondered unendingly if it was
Another man who was the driver
Of her decision to leave him
One who had showered her
With his undivided attention
But he will never really know
As her parting note was terse
“While you continue your single-minded
Search for both power and pelf
I am embarking on a search of myself
Please do not bother to look for me
Goodbye and good luck”
great write ma'am in the form of a story.the story that is a truth of so many couples.
your message is loud and clear about nurturing a relationship.It must be a flower to be watered, to be cared for. Alas..the ending is sad. A good write that I have read tonight.Thanks for this sharing
So true Sandra as relationships have to be nurtured just like flowers. A union between two people needs communication or it can fizzle.....there is a good lesson in this poem and I always enjoy your narrative style of writing. 10 love Karin
sorry sandra..in this the him and her i interchange....
I think sometimes loved ones think they need to search outside of themselves to win our admiration; to become powerful as further proof of their ability to take even better care of us; not realizing they are removing their presence bit by bit, by becoming so very necessary in those other parts of their life; forgetting the very reason they took on addtional responsibilities. I liked how your poem showed that not everyone is right fore everyone else because we are much more than just a shadow in a mirror.

Sandra, that is powerful, poignant and holds a good message within. Never ignore the love of your life or one day they will not be there. Top marks plus and thanks for sharing it with us my friend. Hugs David
