Memories to Burn You got under my skin Thinking you would win But this game can’t begin I know you want forever Still they’re some ties I must sever My past, a constant endeavor Of true love you yearn So you await my tides to turn But I... have memories to burn Marina 2000 It is a blessing to have wings for words, and passion in pen Marina Crossley |

Still they’re some ties I must sever My past, a constant endeavor Of true love you yearn So you await my tides to turn But I... have memories to burn ============== VERY COOL POEM M-GIRL!! has a cryptic essence about it like a secret or mystery... but yet says it all... somtimes we cant move ahead till we look back excellent writing and perfect rhyme... later-cryptic-gator  jm There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

Marina, I agree, this seems very mysterious. I like it though. I think we all have some memories to burn at one time or another. You must come to term with the past before you can look ahead to the future. Nice writing. 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 |

The past will always get in the way of the future. . . it holds us back. . . sometimes, we burn more than past memories. . . we burn future ones. . .

issues--luggage---whatever you choose to call it, must not be allowed to cripple us...very nice poem Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Sometimes it seems that we will never get past all those memories we carry around. They can steal apart of us that will never see the light of day again. The title is perfect and the total package is the most precious gift. |

Thank you to everyone!!!! I very much appreciate you all taking the time to read and comment. There is some good advice in here and to a certain extent, I think most of us can relate this poem to something within themselves. Thank you again!!!!!
