Please read my poem. Any Suggestions?
WORDS UNSPOKEN
The words I did not say,
The songs I did not sing,
The prayers I did not pray,
The thoughts that did not wing.
I speak now you have gone,
I sing to soothe my breaking heart.
I pray that I may be forgiven.
I think I may have played my part.
Regrets will come regardless of words
We have said, sung, or thought.
Life has many discordant chords.
Not one extra day can be bought.
Communication now has passed,
But memories will still remain.
No albatross tied to the mast,
Will help us endure the pain.
The age we live in is unique.
Until our very last breath,
Truth and peace each day we seek,
But we have no say in our death
Jedhoe200 - There is a connection to the "Ancient Mariner" who shot an albatross and regretted the episode ever after
DS Davis- good point
Pamela - The one I often forget to forgive is myself and I think you are right another stanza might round it off. Will give it some thought.

Kate how very, very true, this something i try to teach in life " do it now tomorrow maybe too late".
I shall print it to send to the people who are in a mourning situation, and through the church i meet many.
Well done very perceptive, and so gentle in it`s message.

Seems to be well thought out and balanced with one exception...
The line "No albatross tied to the mast,"...
I have no clue what that means, nor would many people - if any.
I know an albatross is a big white bird that flies around ships for very long periods of time, but I see no relevance to the poem.

The repetitive phrase poem (love is... love is...) is a really horrible motif and very rarely does anybody make it work. Worse than that it encourages amateurish imitators because people have the delusional belief that a bad/simplistic structure must be EASIER. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The roses are frozens
The violets are frozent
Your poem works
oh wait, no it doezn't.

there is present day existence. Apathy, vagueness and the non secular possibilities of the bikini area are with us yet. in my opinion, it variety of feels that existence is a coastline with, or without, the masochistic aspects of bikini waxing. i'm quite pleased with the finished problem here, alongside with the commentary that some non secular merchandising is ineffective. strikes me as an quite genuine looking assessment of a 2d in time from a genuine looking point of view. i like it and would persist with it with ease. that is top up my line.

I had to blink back
tears reading this
The first stanza is
so very perfectly written.
We do the best we can,
for those we love
somehow,somehow
cruel fate
leaves us with
an aching
of unsaid
emotions.

Your poem is really very good.
I would simply like to see another verse about forgiveness to round it off.

the last line is awkward
feels like a question or topic is missing
ex. were is the truth were is the peace
But we have no say in our death
(this means we have no say in truth and peace like we have no say in death)
