Un-poemed

Random regrets….

Did I fail u?
Was there a river in the path that I did not wade through?
How great would it have been if I had chased those crickets around that corner?
Did I choose to walk alone?
Was there a swinging black tire hanging from an old banyan tree by that road?
Was there somewhere a sprig I that dried up because I stopped shedding tears?
Could I have opened the window and watched the reflections melt away?
Was there fire enough on the Sun to burn my frozen gaze?
Had I stopped for a moment and looked up….
Would that have spared me the embarrassment of scribbling on white pages tonight?
Of trying to fill up an empty world with hollow words?
Was there goose-bump in the air?
What if I had spread my arms?
