distances

love crosses oceans
and transcends mountains
or simply sits and gazes
reflecting upon both

tinged with regret

regret
that i wasn't something more
that i wasn't something less
that i didn't
that i did

but isn't it all
life itself
shades of regret

tinged with regret, yes
but coloured over with the glowing rose
of a rockies sunrise

its never really gone

thoughts pervasive as the hissing hum
of the comp tower
inches from my head

the obvious diff springs to mind

one throwing carcinogens towards my cerebellum
the other occupying it

willie sang it best
you were always on my mind

Oz once sang

'blue skies have gone away
clouds linger on
everthing i possessed
now they are gone
