Oubliette Of Oblivion ~*Marge Tindal*~ sometimes the hurt runs deeper than the words upon the page the rage the rage rumbles rumbles cascades falling forever backwards into an oubliette of oblivion sometimes just sometimes I forget to remember to forget ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge~ Sometimes it is better to forget . . . but there are other times when all we can do is remember. Hope that makes sense!  LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Marge- WOW...so you DO write some dark poems. 'sometimes the hurt runs deeper than the words upon the page' 'sometimes just sometimes I forget to remember to forget' much truth in these words, my friend... and a painful truth at that... I can relate to this one all to well... I often 'forget to remember to forget' love the way you've expressed these feelings... love and hugs, ~vicky p.s. shhh...don't tell anyone else that I had to look up the word 'oubliette'...lol < !signature--> "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 11-28-2000).] |

Good day, Very true...I can relate to this sort of forgetfulness in reminding myself to remember to try not to forget to remember not to forget to remember to forget sometimes... You introduced me as well to the word "Outbliette" Excellent writing... take care, Poeminister "...no single sound too rude upon thy slumber shall intrude, Our thoughts, our souls- O God above! In every deed shall mingle, love." -Poe |

Marge,Excellent, wonderful, superb write it inspired this; sorry. Here within my oubliette I feel just like a Juliet Confined here in space so small I can reach out and touch both walls But the thing that's so unkind The oubliette entraps my mind. Circles, spirals, round and round I forget, then go to ground One day I'll leave and yet, and yet Will I remember to forget.

Yeah I know Marge...sometimes a person falls back into the abyss of loneliness where they recall the hurt and the rage and go back over all those things that they heve been trying to release from the mind. Excellent work!! hit the nail right on the head!! ethome |

Marge, this is so truthful, I can remember, wishing that I didn't remember. Oh yes I can definitely recall this, still it's the ups and downs that make the trip through life a trip and not a stroll. Really great Marge girl, brilliant. take care Mushy Marsha (Some of my memories are better off burried, somewhere far from me I hope) Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Thanks so much for the reply. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge~ Hello again, dear friend! So good to be able to read your words once more. As always, what you pen comes from the truth of the heart, my dear! I think it is all too oftenthat I find myself in these shoes... I forget to remember to forget Sometimes if I could remember to forget I know that all would go a lot smoother! Thank you, once again, for making me think. That is the greatest gift that you can give! Love Ya~ < !signature--> ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, and I am all the better for it~ Terry A.

JWesley~ Thank you for letting me know. I care what you think about what I pen. Gemini~ It's okay to be in that realm of forget as long as no one closes the lid on it. *Hugs* to you. TerryW~ Hello, love. So glad to share a gift with you. Smile -  Love you, too. Tiersdin~ Thank you sooooo much for noticing the format. Believe me, I tried it several ways before I settled on this. I could just hug you for letting me know it was effective. Shucks ... think I will -HUG ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

sometimes senility seems sane heard every word, Marge! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Oh, Marge - you very rarely speak of your inner feelings like this! I am filled with goosebumps and sorrow. I lean towards the inner spirit that you so rarely show, and wrap myself around you with love. Beautiful poem. Intricately worded. Thank you for sharing it. ` The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ... R.J.G. |

More pain and anger and depression!!! more more more! hehe... i crack myself up sometimes... i'm really truly not trying to make light of your seriousness... i'm just in pain and angry and depressed and this is the only way i can deal with it is through humor... hope you understand... thanks for a wonderful read! |

Karilea~ Interesting take - and yes, it could be so. Rosemary~ I knew you would look and find the intricate inner spirit of me written in this piece. The {{{{Hug}}} got here ... thank you ! Doreen~ Rarely have I seen such enthusiasm for pain. I'm not sure I understand it ... but for you - I'll try ! LOL ! *Smile* Kaile~ 'Bout time ! Glad to introduce you to your dictionary for this one. Thank you for the reply in which you gave me the encouragement to post a 'dark' one. Love to all ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

just a little ditty to bump this up Memory Loss Together at long last, you dumped me again unceremoniously, the tender promises you made cast aside, like what happens to the cocoon when a caterpillar finds its wings i then remembered i forgot to remember all the past hurts you dealt me so mercilessly [This message has been edited by kaile (edited 12-05-2000).] |

Marge...Loved this one..How often I find myself "forgetting to forget"...Things would be much simpler, I'm sure...If I could remember to forget.... ~LL~ The way to love anything is to realize it might be lost. author unknown |
