I've many of your poems to read yet, but am determined. Each time I read a poem of yours, I get something out of it that keeps me wanting to read more.

Certainly a heartfelt poem from an emotional poet and writer. Well done my friend. You never disappoint with your words for they speak to us in volumes... and move us in many ways...

A HONEST SHARING OF THE PAIN OF HEARTBREAK. DONE SO WELL...WITH CLEAR IMAGING. ENJOYED AND THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE,

Tremendously powerful and beautiful poem Regis. I can feel the emotion in every word, every line. Walking on the edge. I know this well. I wrote a poem called "Sleeping Tide" which touches on some of these themes, like life on the edge. We keep doing this Regis. Must be something in the poetic heart.

Wow
You must have fallen for the girl hard lol.

Nicole

Raw emotions resound in this piece, Reg ... so painful, it clutches at the heart. Hugs, Elizabeth

A true chorus from the heart on trials of love.

Excellent!

This I can so relate to ... Sounds like you didnt miss heaven by much either. This was so thought provoke'n written. You have a way of taking your reader right along your path. Enjoyed very much

Thank you so much for your more than kind comments
you have left behind...

Very powerful poem.

cheers

Regis beautiful and sad all in one.
Such an emotionally packed "After We Talked"
If love is meant love will be.

Continued blessings to you and your wonderful works,
Gwendolyn

Intensity, vulnerability, brilliant. Liz

great expression of intensity, Regis!

Wow I felt your emotion......if it is meant to be you will reconcile

Deep and very intense. I feel your pain! May Gods hand help to heal your heart.....M

The verse of love in pain of separation, so very well done here to capture the words.

The pain of lost love can be healed with the touch of new love...

wandered about
I met a genuine damsel
Girl with ebon hair
And purple shining
Eyes gleaming darkly
Black pearls
Beyond beauty
Looking at her
I could barely breathe
Her everlasting entity

Maybe even in love, when one door closes another one opens. We just need to be ready to walk through it when it does...

Well done as always...

Achingly painful, you paint a portrait of heartache that I have known. The unraveling of the heartstrings can be painful, but ultimately, it becomes liberating.
Take care,
Sherry

Boy of all the AD poets I've read you really capture the "perils" of love, its expectations, its unrequited possibilities, its bottomless joys and soaring griefs. Your style is so suited to it... Hey, read your new bio, who's the "new" lovely lady on your arm? Wonderful! And where can I find out more about "Autumn Leaves" (?) is it a book, ezine or journal?
Next time, michael

Deep painful emotions throughout these lines
Love is kind, sweet but
When they breaks your heart
Love truly hurts
Regis give your heart time to heal
And take care
I agree with Romantic Poetess she is
She is a Sultrily beauty
Sending you Peace Love and Light and Hugsss..Yolie

love can be like a double edge sword. one one side it is sweet& beautiful and the other it is painful &hurtful. thanks for sharing. peace &love Pamela

Regis,

What a beautiful expression of love. Your girl is lovely Regis.

Mariann

As stunning as she is...

Ron

love, sometimes it requires the tenacity of an English bulldog -- blended with the tenderness of a silken touch -- this is an emotionally rich poem Reg -- you have made it so easy for us to relate to the ecstasy and agony of such moments -- an excellent piece of art my dear friend -- much peace and love to you -- JMW

Sounds like one of those "bloody" Valentines -- doesn't sound happy -- but thanks for transmuting the pain.

Regis,
I can feel the depth of these emotions. Love can impale in more than one way. Love and Hugs,
Sheila

WEll, this sure ain't funny!
A great poem, with a sad message my sweet kind friend!
My heart hurts for your pain, but don't let it WIN!
Your stronger than this my sweet friend! Great picture to express these tough emotions!
WRITE ON!
Warmest of Blessings and Inner Peace, Warrior Purple Lady SHEExoooo

Aaaaawwwww!!!! Don't feel so bad!!! Regis, you are a wonderful person, and you will meet someone nice very soon.

A great sense of disappointment and sadness in this write.

Your Words of Emotions Are Inspiring Regis
those temptations we crave of love’s touch
oh….the invigorating sweet erotic quest
steadfast we dance like sensual passions
gleaming upon the concurs of euphoric unity
yet charted only by the goddess of decisions…
From the gracile flights of our desires yearning
we fall from the sky when our wings are removed
the descent is indeed a torrent pain
regressing within our hearts….
Much Love & Inspirations Regis
This Woman Is Sultrily Gorgeous!!!
Vickie {{hugzzz}}

Sometimes love is like that...and love only hurts because we care.
Cryssa

Reg.. I feel so much pain as I read this...but all happens for a reason and we have to trust in God...it will be ok...I promise.
Love,
Christine

Love sometimes hurt
Peace be with you

Regis,
Love is torture at times -even in the best relationships. I wish I could erase the pain-touching poem-I can feel your emotion. Sheri

Powerful and emotional poem,very well written.Take care and stay strong.

Edwin

Emotional garbage to be taken out in a 39-gallon lawn and garden black bag and mourned...Don't let the beauty of the spring flowers be trampled by these dark emotions, Reg...mulch and recycle beauty...sweets to you...

Love,
Sage

What is wrong with the woman?? Judgement's po', fo' sho'~!
Couldn'a been Ms. Right, but. . .she's right around the corner, you'll see! Love your honesty and passion. Illustration you chose is perfect!! Luv ya! Phyllis

Love - ain't she a bitch? Hope you'll come out of this in one piece.
Love,
Becca~

Love isn't always easy...and its loss is heartbreaking, but still we try

Carole~

It's sad to know the bad times, but then how would we appreciate the good ones? Thank you for sharing, DL Mullan

Sometimes the pain is unbearable and yet we live.
hugs
Kathie

I'm also concur with Felix...a little mixed as to who this is dirrected but i felt ..the pain, the pain,that was decisive and a feeling I wish on no one,
stan

Regis,
(((( Regis )))
I hope soon the sun will shine for you once again.

Blessings,
~Linda

It's not always a bed of roses being in love. The other person has power over you and that hurts, especially if you have an independent streak.

A wonderful write that shows one has excepted that there is true love and what is meant to be just a friendship. Thank you for sharing Regis.

Newfie hugs, Rose

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

Sadness in a write that shows that some things were never meant to be.

oh wow! so deep, sensous and then sad. You brilliantly brought out three feelings all at once in me. Simply beautiful! welcome back...:)

Your words pierce the heart.

What we want or wish is not necessarily what is best for us. Pain strengthens the soul.

Sincerely,
Regino

Powerful.

touching effective verse Reg, hope you v day was better

It Always Hurts My Friend,i.e. Whole Idea Is To Walk Away Never Look Back.. I Think About It-I Try Not Too...

TRASK

You have such a beautiful, loving, giving heart to be in such a state as you so painfully express. May the light of love shine brightly and bring you everylasting peace....

Be always safe,
Karen

Your passion is palpable in this Reg!
a poem that quivers with emotion
intensely written! Hope you find comfort soon...

Love,
Eileen

powerfully written--raw and emotional-very nice

Such sorrow here, not the sweet sort. Hugs, J'nia

wow.... wouldn't want to be there.... well written tho... hugs, lindalaw

Those last three lines are simply stunning.. and can be read in so many different ways...)

Myrna

Your emotions are showing so much in this poem. I feel for you. I have been through some rejection in the past. Never happy about it, but it does happen to us. Just keep your hopes up and know it isn't about you and don't put yourself down. Things sometimes are not meant to be and you are better off by yourself.

I am with Felix on this, I am not sure who this is about, but it does sound very intense and honest, and sad that still you hurt like this. Blessings, and less pain I pray for you, my friend. Michelle

Not sure if you are hurting for your old love or happy about your new but gripping in it's intensity.

Fee

Regis,

Much pain in these lines ... I'm sorry.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Poignant poem that many can at one time relate to

Amazingly painful write my friend...I can feel every emotion. I'm going through a bunch of it myself right now. Hope all is well...Much love, Michelle

Interesting feelings herein are present, pain and love seem to be an everyday combination, why can it not be different, but that is, I suppose, the way of life...e

Sad write Reg but well done my friend. God bless.

ah emotions...food for the soul...everything passes in time

Sometimes hearing that old Dear John hurts more than a Mike Tyson special on the guts.
A bottle of 25 years old Chivas Regal is recommended.

Georg

I bet you do Regis.
Great to read you again,
Ron

So sad, Regis; you are in my prayers!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. ;(

Heart wrenching....

Regis~!

A real downer my friend - I know the feeling all too well . . . a great penning!!


Blessings,

Lance

The Bear Paw could have it right, Regis, that this sounds like being on the rebound, but I have to hand it to you, you know where to rebound to. And, your poem certainly catches the mix of love, attraction and hell. Pain and pleasure, so closely related we've heard it said, but you've said it more well than it is usually done......Jerry

Nicely done way of expressing the first girls loss and your own pain.
"If you can't be with the one you love"...
*Glen*

Regis, this sounds like "being on the rebound". Well written about a hard to express emotions. Thank you for sharing...Stay Strong.

In Spirit,
Bear
