poignant read
never stop writing!

A very moving piece of poetry. I hope to read some of your other work. It all seems quite intriguing. John

What a vivid image of deep regret, brilliant penmanship.
thank you for sharing.

Unpardon me but I relent it boldly;
For it is far ahead, if I can be sure of it,
And far it is, that my hallucination be valid,
And hallucination it is, as it should be,
And however, unlike itself, mysterious, unknown, and untested,
So it be foreseen in my tireless search.

And the dream of what could have been.
I turned to life and wept.

Ah..join the club!

Yeah..realistic as it gets..good work Theodore..
Blessings.

Sadness, pain and regret radiate from these words.

your terse metaphors lash themselves to the raw emotion that drives this stake of a poem into the anguished heart of your ideal reader who must follow your speaker's lead and cry unceremoniously on the bare but remorseless shoulder of life itself...

it is your speaker our thoughts and prayers go with...

Be well and be buoyed... let peace permeate your heart.

So short but tells so much, I enjoyed this

Many can relate to this.
