alchemy please stop and think a moment perhaps your dear memories are nothing but alchemy slowly transmuted into a mysterious new form of the love and lust recalled romanticizing bygone days with abundant feelings full of the warm and fuzzy in a desirous fashion often clouds reality events in the past can carve strong pathways in one's head leaving lasting passages influencing our thoughts and passions in the present we do not always realize that powerful memories with time become creative blendings of fact and fiction pleasant reminiscences images are alchemized by mixing experience with emotions bringing back jagged pieces of events which falsely highlight the whole So while our recollections feel absolute they are not because memory never captures life like a camera instead it simulates an impressionistic painting Please remember this Janette |

we do not always realize that powerful memories with time become creative blendings of fact and fiction pleasant reminiscences Isn't that the truth!! So pretty in poetry you are, just like your picture Janette~ |

We sure don't always remember it like it truly wasy..sure wish our memory did have a camera..I'd like to be able to go back and take another look at situations. Enjoyed this Janette.  |

I enjoyed this beautiful and wise poem. The reference to an impressionistic painting is great. There are distortions of our memories, but evoking them in a special light can be really pleasant. Love, Margherita  |

BluesSeranade - Lady, you flatter me and I sure did enjoy it, too...hahahha THANK YOU! James Michael - hummm perhaps? Ahhhhhhh come on James, you know us romantics tend to paint our memories with dabs of our brushes rather than full strokes. hahaha Local Rebel - Thanks for the connect. Poet deVine - I agree with you, wish my memory was as sharp as a photograph, for it would save me much grief, I think. Thanks. Margherita - I was trying to be discerning. There are so many broken hearts here at Passions, and I certainly have been there done that, too, that I felt inspired to post this piece. Thanks Thomas - thanks Buddy for the read! Martie - not bad for a blonde huh? hahaha! Thank you for commenting, I do appreciate it. Enchantress - So glad that you liked this one, thanks for your reply. Temptress - Ahhhh ... what a dear message to leave me girl friend. Thanks |
