To try something new is to leap before looking

While it can be scary, the scariest decision is always the right one

The fear of leaping and dying is a fear that so many have

But if you do leap, you’ll find it to be the fear of living

Because in the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take...

He walked pass her in the hall,

smiles and says hi,

with eyes shimmering,

lighting up her face.

She walked pass him in the hall,

waves and nodds,

her lips curve the perfect line,

she smiles the smile that decorates her face.

With the sound of ringing bell,

he enters the classroom,

holding back the desires to search for her face,

to hide the burning heart insides him,

that is screaming her name....

Years of contemplating

Made time go faster.

The days drifting away

Like the hours.

The grass sprouts flowers

The flowers wither and leaves fall

The colorful leaves wither on the ground

Then the snow falls.

And in that time

I was in my thoughts.

What had I done ?

Where did I go?

When did I move?

How did I grow?

In my blunt honesty

I don’t know.

My thoughts were so complex

I thought I didn’t n...

Dear community & followers, I’ll be using this prompt to share (what I think are) my best poems. In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take. (If this gets banned for being off-prompt, it is likely I will be a little offended.)

To start, we have the first five edited poems!

**Only A Woman**

To anyone who thinks

women belong in the kitchen,

I hope you must know,

we’re not the only ones ...

*a feminist(?) poem??*

To anyone who thinks

women belong in the kitchen,

I hope you must know,

we’re not the only ones who pitch in.

If I’m “only a woman,”

how come I can beat you up?

In games and reality,

you claim it’s just dumb luck.

I’m not saying we’re better at all;

even if it would be easy to argue.

Instead, I shall share that we

women are alongside you.

You just have to be willing

to ...

From the start, a goal is so far away,

We don’t see how it’s

Possible.

Something we can reach for, or even spend

Time

Thinking we can do it!

We can!

We will!

We have to believe!

Have faith, and clear the path!

It’s so close, yet so far.

Do a little at a

Time,

Keep reaching,

Keep knocking,

Keep asking,

And

You

Will

Find!

You

Will

Reach

And…

In the end, we only regret the chances we di...

The breeze swept away the tears.

We all have great fears.

Lovers at first sight lost in the night.

Even those who were kind, sadness they may find.

Though tangled in vine their love will still shine.

From fighting they need a break.

In the end they only regret the chances they didn’t take....

I made a mistake

I hurt someone

My it heart aches

I never wish to be so mean

All I wanted was to be seen

All alone I felt back then

Now I see I was an awful friend

So many retakes

All I did was repeat and betrays

Now I’m alone

Or so it feels

I tried to fix it all alone own

To no avail

I fight and fail

All they did was try and help

But I refused, “I can fix it by myself”

I only realized when t...

Don’t you remember all the people we turned down all for a love we thought we found that slowly fell to the ground .

Is it always in our favour to savour every moment ?

Love is nothing more than a flying dove evacuating the peace with every fading crease of a smile , Soon you’ll be in denial was the relationship ever worthwhile .

lost between the frost of heart wanting to restart away from the...

I loved you from the first week together

Dancing in and out of tentative affection

I never did hold your hand on the dance floor

We giggled together in the cooling sun

You splashed me and told me about your family

I too was late to care for you -and

I watched the sun begin to set but didn’t kiss you

You told me you could love me,

And I told you I could begin again,

I was absent at the turning...
