Some things are just wrong no matter what anyone tells you...
This Is Just Wrong
in this dream I seem to be going
the wrong way down a one-way
street on a sunless day that cedes
to a moonless night and a starless
sky while all the signs are facing the
other way I don't want to read them
anyway in the darkness I most likely
could not but what you said to me and
what you wrote to me and what you did
to me are all engraved upon my soul and
every word and every letter and every
touch burns and aches and the dream
has turned into a bleak stream of vague
consciousness more dim and void even
than the abysmal depth of emptiness
left by the nightmare of your absence
in this waterless oasis of nothingness
I think this says it all, of have most of have felt, some time or another in our journey of life. This seems to be what I am saying to my ex. every times he tries to play these little games, he's remarried now, and still is trying to play them. What a smuck!
Wow! Very expressive poem! I am sorry you have been hurt.

A haunting portrait of a nightmare that carries your words deep into my heart. Sometimes, we can be cut so deep that we dream that we are still bleeding, but I hope in time that your wounds do heal. Great poem.
Writing and sharing ones inner feelings helps to cleanse the soul. I think some of us have expierenced the same feeligs you have written about. Pray and keep going forward....Blessings to you!...M

Some very deep feelings in this poem, taking one into the road of melancholy. Very well expressed and brilliantly done. Thank you...
OMG Reg you know I can relate to this entire piece. I guess it goes with my poem I posted a bit ago. Thank you for your comment. And as for this piece, can life be any more unfair?

Dear Regis, a powerfully written poem although the structure distracts from it. I have to say that I now need a limerick to uplift my spirits from reading this sorrowful journey into the soul of loss. I had just come out of my own blahs too--nice tinming my friend lol. Cheer us all back up with a funny limerick now--I know I need it!!
This is a powerful piece expressing the deepest feelings of anguish and abandonment one might ever experience in this life, and live to tell it so creatively. Excellent. J'nia
Darling Regis...I need tissues
dreams are so offering to us
and yet so confusing sometimes
in all they repair to solve for us...
I dreampt repeadedly from 1993-1995 about climbing up
a very steep slope or mountain
to get away from people trying to harm me & kill me
when I finally got to the top I thought I would be safe
I was so happy...but then
when I looked in front of me...over the edge of the cliff
there was nothing...no where to go...no where to hide
it looked like the empty sky
no blue either...
then I looked back down and seen where I was
and those people....I dropped to my knees
& cried waking myself up with that
But...I love dreaming
& trying to figure out what they mean...

Regis! this is exactly what i needed to read at this time...so appropriate and beautiful. I'm looking forward to the waterless oasis willl be filled with fresh water when the rains of love arrive.....thanks and stay blessed!
Powerfully written Regis! I sure can relate to this poem and the good thing is Regis , there is hope and healing! God bless you in a special way and may His light shine upon you to light your path! Thank you for sharing and caring!
I am having trouble reading this poem due to the way you structured the lines. If I read pausing at the end of each line then the flow is way off, which throws off the read for me. And without punctuation I don't even know where to pause if I don't pause at the end of each line, which throws off the read for me as well. The content is good though. There is definitely something there. The only thing I'd suggest is punctuating this piece and/or restructuring the lines. You don't have to change any content, just move things around to better flow. For example:
in this dream I seem to be going
the wrong way down a one-way street
on a sunless day that cedes
to a moonless night and a starless sky
while all the signs are facing the other way
you take us with you Dearest Regis... and we feel the whirling continuous thoughts in this dream well portrayed! ... 'in this waterless oasis of nothingness'.. the oasis of nothingness the gleaming truth of this dream...
Biggest love and hugs to your beautifully brilliant sensitive heart!!
Powerfully delivered, Regis. This flows like a dream - each thought straight into the next. Interesting symbolism, too. I find myself wondering about signs and warnings. Love and Hugs,
Sheila
This is so well-written and expressed as a single stream of consciousness, Regis. The dream/nightmare seems like the mind's response to numbing heart pain when all "you" are aware of are those devastating engraved words. When we feel we are drowning in this way, there is often a sense of going against the flow... perhaps Amber's on to something: the dream signs which you can't begin to look at might be trying to tell you something... This is heart-wrendingly sad and I hope it is just an excellent poetic construct that has us all trying to work through with you. The situation is "wrong" and there is a sense the Voice is also going the "wrong way"... Perhaps a case of two wrongs not making a right? The emotions live in this piece. Bless you, xx
An interesting dream. How can you remember them? I think I dreamed all last night, but when I woke up this morning the images have all gone back into their closet in my brain. I remember bits and pieces of it but the rest is a jumbled mess.
So many emotions wrapped around sadness. Though I have never been there, I could feel the hurt in your words. May God bless you every day of your life.

I can totally relate to the darkness Regis. Very much liked this poem.
wow, how bleak is this place Regis? -- surely in the dregs of human emotions -- you led us there and described it too well my friend -- I have dwelled in that place on many occasions -- the only philosophy I could offer is one that I personally subscribe to, cheer up, it gets worse -- a deep place you traveled to bring us this grave sadness my friend -- may peace, joy and love seek you out and dwell with you if this is not merely the muse that I believe it to be -- Jon Michael
You need to release those thoughts of darkness, from who you really are, a loving, powerful person, you have an eraser, those thoughts are on the blackboard of af deep void as you said, and so very well, your hurt sure travells, I wish you rejuvination my friend and a great day! Hugs! Jasmin Horst
Sometimes we just have to let go or the situation will take everything out of us. This poem really puts that all down into words. Emotions, well expressed, Reg.
A dream or an emotional scream after an emotional rape? that, suddenly, without ever waking up throws everything into "...abysmal depth of emptiness..." and making a nightmare of absence.

This is not a dream, but a reality for many people who are lost. They don't know what to do in life. The signs are facing the other way meaning that the person is just existing, do not know where to go, or just feeling lost have no where to go.
Words engraved into your soul meaning that you feel you have come so far in life, learning all the lessons, but still you are sitting in the dark, going no where. You wish for some signs or signals from God or someone to give you guidance, but seems like you're the only one there, no one is there to help you.
I think we have been in this situation many times in our lives; but stay tuned, you will find your way soon.
THE FEELINGS OF PURE 'WRETCHEDNESS' IS SO CLEAR IN THIS WORK, BUT WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT, THERE IS SOMETHING THAT, FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I COULD NOT AT ONE TIME, FIGURE OUT; WHY IS LIFE, SEEMINGLY, SO UNFAIR? WELL, YOU KNOW ME REGIS, AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS FOUND IN CHRIST...BECAUSE I KNOW HE LOVES ME AND WHATEVER HE ALLOWS TO COME ACROSS MY PATH, IS NOT TO 'HURT' ME, BUT, TO 'MOLD ME AND SHAPE ME'INTO WHATEVER HE WANTS ME TO BE. USE THAT 'WRONG' AS A STEPPING STOOL TO 'MOVE UP' A LITTLE HIGHER...YOU'LL BE ALRIGHT AND YOU'LL COME THROUGH THIS 'TRIAL'...STILL STANDING. WELL DONE WORK...ENJOYED.

or noticing something
of importence is a very
deep emotion the mind
and heart has..
It wants to notice it
wants to make sure
that it doesn't hurt
what it cares about..
The darkness seen
and felt is the void
is the loneliness is
the nothingness..
When the heart and
mind can't figure out
what has happened
to induce such fear..
Care, true care stays
forever no mater what
ever is feared that
might happen..
Do you believe??
Thanks for the
read.
