No Chance.
As each ebbing tide tumbles seaward
to leave but remembrance
on sand's tear-washed places,
as a breaker flings sad over thought
and sighs reassemble
my desire turns to past embraces.
As life's rollers drag re-call heedlessly
back thru' unforeseen grief
to where incompletion dwells,
as on-moving time sanctions seasons
I confront the regret
that we had no chance for farewells.

A nice write Fay.
Many thanks Orchi.
This is a credit to yourself and MPS. Some words when cocktailed with wisdom and shaken (not stirred) are very special indeed.
Hope you will allow it me as a Fay've (Any chance?).
Ex animo, Alan
What a generous comment and thank you Alan - - am so pleased you enjoyed No Chance and most certainly you are allowed it as a "Fay've" my friend.
Good evening FAY ~ sorry to be late with our reply ! We loved the Rhyme Pattern & Metre in this Poem very elegant ! When we are faced with the EMPTINESS in our lives occasioned by the death of a Loved One (V1.) echoes in our memories of past embraces ! V2. extends the grief occasioned by a sudden departure and this is expressed by the final doublet !
I confront the regret
That we had no chance for farewells !
Our experience is the Death of Grandparents and the premature & sudden demise .of Friends & Relations ~ However reading the context if yt is the Death of Partner ~ the pain is magnified a thousand fold ! Thanks for sharing ~ AMEN
Blessings & Love & Peace & Joy
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡💙🧡
What a wonderful emotion laden write Fay.
Those farewells will be hellos in time.
