the corpse of lingering regret

the corpse of lingering regret

 

 

lies entrenched in the soul

persevere 

and haunt

as the body grows cold

There is no sweetness within regret, only bitterness that as you say, haunts our souls and marrow of our being Jacob.
So powerfully stated in so few words.

thank you for your kind words, Lorry,

Great poem.
To live a life is to make regrets sometimes. Lots of them actually.
Enjoyed reading it.
Good work. Keep it up.
Take good care.

Regret is suffocating, heavy and probably the worst thing that can cause the eternal damage. The 'soul of regret' can not be expressed better than this! This poem is evoking all those places that we try to conceal.

Oh my goodness. This brevity is a curse on the dying and the soul of the departed. Never to find peace from regret. A haunting for eternity. Dear j. Where did this dark inspiration come from? I don’t know anyone who deserves this.

Thank you, Chris...some get it deservedly so, but most don't.

hi jacob, how are you? firs time i am going to Kerala state, never been there.Anyhow, reg your poem, i feel preserving the love in heart and leading the life for him, would definitely realise every other what and how much that person is adoring him.
but sometimes it is difficult to haunt as what you have mentioned, if it is haunting then person will feel offended, and get hurt, so let him be free and realise the love the other person is making to him.
for me, it is getting difficult to lead my life lonely just being online messaging with the person indirectly, i am making my life happy with his virtual thought and living in the hope that he would come for me, as early as possible, without wasting our time, saying and living are having different ways, saying is easy but living is very difficult. I miss my son, my married life, my inlaw, and my home, and every fun or hate or shout from him. but how to make it easy, this life till he comes, just doing what he likes i feel the life makes easy as i am doing for him. I have started my startups, and cooking for my motherinlaw, feeding her the most delicious food is my other desire which i dreamt of in my home, so i am making that too. what else i could make, buying things for him and his family members make me happy. This makes my life happy and complete, the touch of him, talk to family members, that is also getting fulfilled with his virtual touch and WC chat.

Sorry for long message,
Jessy jacob,
want to enjoy every moment with him,

WE do the best we can do, and that is all we can do.

for few regret is worst thing, only they might have experienced it who else can know better, inorder to get from that suffocation, people employ what means to them and finally degrade themselves, but regret for lovers in a better way is the missing which they are facing due to reasons and people, how come it look so heavy when they are caring for each other so much and doing all they can, I think this what you mean jacob.

jessy jacob,
its not that i took his family name its his family for i am living. and carrying forward his name.
