I remember
Spending so much time
Trying to forget,
And here I am reliving them;
Those times
With players exchanging parts
Events ripping at the hearts
And souls growing cold
And colder still knowing what waits
Braced to the facts
Crumbling silently alone to fears
Coming back through the years
Yesterday’s yesterday is now;
Whoa to this now
As I gather once more
Photographs for the fire
Images in ink
Blurred.

Come patient follower with memories
Pale comparison to our fantasies
Richer than the existence itself
Stored carefully on the bottom shelf
With that broken vase of blue
Which is broken now a new.

So I am left with nightmares and dreams
Both of which blends into this gray
Of my existence against reality streams
And my successful entering another day

The antique dealer smiled as I entered on that snowy day,
With cardboard box in hand,
It was easy to get her to understand,
Spending so much more to restore
Than what the vase was worth anymore
I just told her to do what she could
And that would be good,
And it was enough when I returned the next snowy day.

Professor,

I too, enjoyed this. I was looking at your rhyme scheme...the poem reads so smoothly, I didn't necessarily notice it. But, I pay a little closer attention to your poetry.

Unfortunately, this busy Fri. isn't allowing me as much time to review and reply to poetry as I'd like. Or, to go back and check this out. Did you use a specific scheme?

May not be on-line if you answer,...sorry I should figure it out myself...as always,

am impressed and enjoyed, Pat

..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

Thank you, all
For the kind words
regards
The first stanza has no pattern,
I planned it not to have one,
Although I always tend to slip an internal rhyme in,
The rest is just a haphazard thing, basic rhyme
No strict meter,
Pleased you enjoyed
