Peace & Truth

“A Few,” a poem
I would have liked to have gotten through with few regrets,And to have walked that tightrope without any nets.Yes, I wish I could have had regrets, only a few,
But there seems to be many. I thought I’d die with you.
I wanted everything to have been perfectly sublime,Without major stops and starts, a fairly seamless rhyme,With easy deaths, no real tortures and torments along the way.Oh, idealistic me, wishing it all to be a fairly perfect day.
Let time melt away to retrieve each perfect hour,Banishing deterioration, to regain a lively power,Where few regrets leave us with many heart-warming memories,Where happiness overshadows heart-ache, I’m begging you please.
