Deep chasms, absences, I feel them too at times.

ANOTHER WORK OF YOURS THAT IS DONE SO WELL...EXPRESSING SUCH A DEEP YEARNING AND AGONY THAT I AM GLAD IT WAS SOME TIME AGO...HAPPY TODAY!
THANKS FOR SHARING AND BLESSINGS, LOVE, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Words are so powerful Regis. you constantly inspire me to continue to find the "write" ones! To love so deep, lose that light and only able to find it in the realm of dreams. Heartwrenching. Ciao4now Cherise

Regis,

The line between dream and reality is clearly drawn and with it, you draw different emotions...with so few words. Fantastique!

Sheila

Powerful. Awakening from this dream, the absence resounds.

((Hugs and LOve)) ~SilentDream

Those haunting dreams. Yes.

Regis, I can relate to the words of this poem. I've been there, but you put it into words.

As always Reg, your words touched my heart. Only once in my life have I come very close to experiencing the feelings and emotions you have written of here. I thank you for reminding me of the incredible beauty love can bring, and alsas the pain also. Maryvonne

this really hit home for me and it was said so eloquently

Such deep emotion is displayed in this poem. I can feel your pain!.....M

Thank you for introducing me to the world of Regis Auffray, you indeed hold an excellent pen.

Dan

A feeling I can relate too. Wonderful write.

i love this regis i can relate

I loved this poem, Reg. It really spoke to me, as nearly ten years after the death of a loved one, I still dream of them often. There is nothing lonelier than awakening to the stark reality of loss. Thank you for writing this.

Jean

The heart-wrenching torment of your loss is experienced.

As Lena so aptly stated, this, too, will pass...and you are never alone, among friends who love you.

Hugs&Love, Rhonda

always soul-touching and heart-soothing you are my friend Regis. This is an excellent way of expressing haitus

Truly devastating.
Awesome writing, as usual!

losses that we have in life, develop both our hearts and minds you have penned a very emotional write with great style and grace, fabulously written, I can feel the emotions you probably went through during the dream as well as afterwords,,,,blessings Cecil

Fantastic write Reg...this time I find myself relating...well done !....erin

The best way to get over one is to find another, even if it is only to have coffee with. Things don't work, because they "don't work."

Eloquent you are in your misery.

Love,
Elizabeth

Other chasms aside, the way European elites continue to socially engineer folk away from that which is of spiritual importance will surely widen the chasm that already exists for many hungering after inner peace.

A malcontent vacuum will be the end result

Dai

You depict a very lonely place in this poem. Well done.

Carmen

How sorrowful.
Nicely written.

So sad.. a deep yearning experienced and lost through a dream

Now this is poetry. You have a gift of reaching in and pulling us closer to view your work. You are a master of pen.

This poem stikes an emotional chord in me. It's incredible how you can get to the core with such few words. Brilliant Reg!

... so rich with dark lonely images...
... the pain is felt ... the sobs heard...

..jeanne..

I don't think there is a single person who couldn't relate to this poem, Reg. Dreams to reality is such an emotional adjustment. Thanks for your comments on my poem.

Brett

Heartfelt, and deep in missing.

Grabs your heart Regis. Beautiful and sad.

Very moving and full of longing...excellently expressed...

Powerful pen indeed..Hugssssss

Sad, pensive write. R

Great longings indeed!!!!!

Sandie May Angel :o)

deep moving, Regis ...hopefully your dream will be fulfilled ...

BUMMER!!! Just knock me out... I want to sleep again....

Totally stark, real and penetrating, Regis. Asleep is to dream; awake is to nightmare. I hope morning comes soon, bringing with it that longed-for presence. A real sense of visitation with this. You are brilliant at these cameo pieces. You are master of sparce writing. Each word weighted and not found wanting. Bless you, Regis. Your soul is on fire. TY Kate xx

you're the magic man Reg, nice

Your one of the best Regis..

Life is a hiatus from Love; a vacuum that fills itself unless we take responsibility. Neediness makes us pay. And on we go until the pain forces a better way. This is what your poem made me think about Regis. Thank you.
Tom

"Hiatus"
This is beautiful and promising indeed!
Positivity in love and through love is one of the greatest gifts that God has given us. Although we make our choices and allowed such. With such love in a heart positive is the only true answer.
God is love and all that it emcompasses and he along with other's truly love you Regis!

Smile and make merry, I thank you and appreciate your sharing!

Deep touching Regis my friend!!

Love and BIG Hugs TinkaSweets

Even after almost three years I still wake this way at times.... Your poem touched me deeply. Myrna

(((Regis))),

Short. Powerful. Emotional. This one hurts, my (((friend))). Know you're loved and in my prayers.

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

excellent write, regis; very well done! c'est bon!

(((HUGS))) and much love, ton ami, your texas friend, karen lynn. :D

Enormously beautiful. As always, I enjoyed reading it.

Strong words, vivid images. Good write.

George

A very tight, powerful read. Each word doing more than one thing.

Oh my gosh Reg, sometimes a chasm can be mere days or even simply hours...and then other times it takes so long that you find you have moved on. in very few words, I feel the void.
Hugs,
Taylor

There are many times I have felt like that. This write brings back alot of memories of people I once knew. Thanks for that.

Blessed be Reg

the short cycle is used here to great effect, Regis, underscoring the pain of absence, the sting of loss. well done! Dawn

The reader can feel the aching in this poem, Regis. Life does go on, but even as we move forward, the pain forever shadows our dreams. Very nice, Regis!
Take care,
Sherry

Sometime a hiatus is what you need to bring a relationship back to life. Life has really thrown us so curve balls. This piece, despite it being on the dark side, exhibits a love that was lost and that you are morning. You did a wonderful job describing your emotions in just a few lines. Excellent job Reg!

~hugs~
Karen

The aching heart that knows the unknown of the dark...hence, the society in which we live.
Out of unconditional love, they wait...and wait...worry consumes, dreams and tears are the only release...and then, eventually so distress we surrender to devotional prayer!
This truly is a "Hiatus"
Excellent Reg~
Love and Peace~
Kimmy~

OOoh I agree, lamenting whether conscious or not, the pain in that region is....well anyway :)

Dont wait too long dear one
Ty for your review
Peace be with you
Ch'erie

SOmetimes our subconscience gets the better of us. When we want to forget it continues to remember.

Direct colouring of human passions by emotion...
A precarious dreamworld of medieval love poetry, Regis...

Sage

Haunting and beautiful REGIS love the art was perfect.
Peace,
Joselyn

And this too will pass, my friend. Great write!

God Bless
Lena

poignant

Stop waiting, want the best, go get her.... never ever mundane..

Much feeling went into this short write on the dark side.

REG ---

U sure it ain't just "acid reflux" ????

just kiddin'! very well done! i like it!

several questions come to mind: did she just leave you?
like when my wife divorced me. or did she actually die? that, my friend, is always much tougher, as there is absolutely no recourse available, except the passage of time.

but, if she just left - then I have to agree with Jeannette - FILL THE VOID WITH ANOTHER!

Remember the song lyrics: "...just wishin', and hopin' and prayin'..." --- I USED TO DO THAT INITIALLY! go read my "METAMORPHOSIS"!

But now, almost 7 years later, after meeting and dating other women, some better, some worse, I NOW WOULDN'T TAKE HER BACK IF SHE WAS ON HER KNEES BEGGING! WHY?

Not to be vindictive, in any way - rather, I have learned through trial and error a basic TRUTH - EVEN THOUGH I DEVOTED 36 YEARS OF MY LIFE TO HER, we grew apart and were NO LONGER SOULMATES! IT WAS TIME FOR 'MOVIN' ON!'

NEXT! BATTER UP! WHO'S ON DECK? WHERE'S THAT OCEAN FULL OF FISH?

CHASMS CAN BE CROSSED BY BUILDING NEW ( AND MAYBE EVEN BETTER ) BRIDGES!!!

GO SLAY SOME NEW DRAGONS AND SAVE SOME NEW DAMSELS IN DISTRESS -- PIECE JUST MIGHT FOLLOW !!! OOPS! DID I REALLY MEAN PEACE ?

TOM.

Very sad Reg, could feel the longing in your words.
Hugs, Laura

Emotional and heart wrenching write when the love cannot be forgotten only hoped for a second chance


fee

SAD but written with feeling. We often do not know what emptiness is until the void is upon us.
God Bless,
Lew

My sobs echoed
In the chasm
Of your absence

Now that is exceptional writing!

A sad emotional write,Temporary absence still hurts,,Amen
God Bless,
Michael

short and sweet...perfect,
thanks
ann

Jam-packed with emotion...very good.

wow! powerful utterance. good read and write. thanks

'Hiatus' speaks loudly of your hurt and loneliness. I am saddened for you. Holly

Waiting is not an answer. Fill the hiatus or missing part with something or someone else.

haunting and sad-a very good write

I can sympathize with every tear Reg my friend...This is a lonely, plaintive write...and my heart aches with every syllable. Blessings and love, Michelle

Great poem! Damn dreams don't come true.
