Portait of Regret
Pastels enrobe her, twilight presses her,
As fiery hues caress her face and hands,
As she holds a pink rose to her nose, smells
Its fragrant aroma, as she turns away for fear
And regret grip her aching heart,
As regret, twists her emotions,
Rendering her vulnerability flagrant
And easily susceptible to sensations
Running deep into a heart full
Of compassion, empathy that’s taken
Advantage of, for her convictions cull
People into rightful categories that blacken
Her illusions in kin, friends, and humanity’s
Ability to stand together against
Violence, aggression, destruction, and their powers’
Of being judge and jury to who’s allowed to lives.
