gilded memories like aviaries caged stamp-swollen signets of harbingers lost reality descending lower in the abyss of recall as if shades of gold could alter perception we think, therefore, we were in ocular opulence pristine as thinking outpaces existing and things that never were over-ride things that should have been and memories exhaust elation simply by wearing glitter-dust worn generously with rose-filtered specs proving that which could have been is far more exciting than that which was [This message has been edited by steavenr (02-04-2011 05:32 PM).] |

I love this and its very apt title. Your take on the favourite René Descartes quote is interesting and effective. However, despite the fact that the could-have-beens may be more exciting, the that-which-was makes us what we are and our understanding of the could-have-beens allows us to gild our memories with beauty and wisdom, as you have done (yet again) in this poem. Thank you for again making poetry out of pain. Owl |
