Regrets. "A man is not old until his regrets are greater than his dreams" ~anonymous.

Chiseled away striated sandstone

Fizzled, bamboozled, bluntly broke down

Mercilessly weakened signal to life’s cellphone

Contact lens dropped onto the midnight muddied ground

Gristle and ground dry dinosaur bones

Whistles to virtually inept and indifferently deaf ears

Urethra scraped by capitalizing kidney stones

A life palpably paralyzed by a pageant of fears

Widdled away like hickory’s wood

Sizzling under the fire of effort resistant existence

Helplessly haunted and miserably misunderstood

Sad that you cant see clear anymore when really you never could
