Regret & Solicitude - poems

Two new poems...

Regret

He said I have messy hair

And all I could wonder was

What it would have felt like

To have his fingers dancing

Their way through it’s

Complicated maze

-PoeticaL


~Solicitude~

I’ve rode every air of emotion

From here to everywhere

And landed right back

Inside the only answer

I’ve ever found

If you embrace angst

It becomes your closest

Confidant

Your only friend

If you feed angst

A meal of personal needs everyday

It will hang dark on your doorstep

For more

If you learn to love angst

It becomes your biggest enemy

It will steal all of your friends

Taking Happiness first

And then Joy will also

Trip outside your door

Angst is solicitude

That leads to mental

Suicide

And that is a train

Going nowhere

And I got off that ride

I’ve been back and forth

For a long time

I now enjoy apathy for sadness

And symphony for joy

I stopped scribbling in confusion

And finally drew a line

I now know my reason

Has a clear rhyme
