Regret


Criss- cross pattern, the rough texture
of life runs smooth, smiles and tears ,
joy and despair, running through the texture,
every hue is bright and dim, here and there,
turning back, I see a picture I like,
no, but something is disturbing, the fury red here and there.
I sit here, my eyes closed
fire of anger and shouting has never rewarded.
Fine, subtle beauty of the pattern got burned,
my loss.
Every moment of fury, I regret
I regret all those fineness lost.
The darkened damages in my picture,
makes me think,
if that little space is preserved,
the space between thought and action,
to make it into fine colors, to deliver,
I sit here,
Meditating.

  2. Thought and Action ... that's what causes the difference ... If thought and action are in sync, life would have been so much better.

  4. It takes much contemplation to write such a poem. I can imagine the tension in the author's mind... it's apparent in the lines. Nicely written, Sreeja! :)

  6. Nice poem! There have been a few times when anger was appropriate ~~ I missed them, shouldn't have.

  7. You think those black patches could be cured?? Naah I don't believe that. sometimes, we are just helpless puppets. The fury is not the choice but the only option available to us. We know that the actions will burn the fabric of relation but that is the only path ahead.

    1. No LC I think it another way..we are not puppets. We are people with insights.....Game can be turned any way....our attitude makes us winner or looser.....( Not the outcome, but for what we are) (Even the outcome will come our way if we are sincere....I believe in the miracle of honesty.)Thanks LC..thanks a lot for your visit and to share your thoughts with me....I will treasure it.

  8. It is best that we spare ourselves from fury if we can! It generally helps nothing, makes us even more upset. Your idea of meditating is a good one. Thanks for spending time with Poetry Jam!

  10. I love the thought of finding the "space between," that little moment of quietness to meditate. Very nicely written!
