Some Memories should stay Buried I thought I had safely put you away dug a hole called it a grave but you snuck out even though just a memory it's been a long while I still don't see the smile just the yearning you were never as discerning as I would have liked, but maybe that is the fallacy in me for I wanted you to have the best and you turned to me but once, just once, you turned away and when you came back and said Her Name Was Hope then hope was shattered and I never was quite the best again which was all I had ever wanted you to have but I couldn't ever give my best again not to you it took a long time for me to think that someday I might be the best again sometimes we have to be good at something seems like I failed in a lot of things until recently. But you were not around to see that ~ or this ~ that there would be one just one who truly believed in me and truly wanted the best for me and trust me his name is not Hope his name is Respect he put esteem back in my spine adoration back in honor and he allowed me to become the best I could be once again |

"his name is Respect he put esteem back in my spine adoration back in honor and he allowed me to become the best I could be once again" Wow... this is a great piece. We all have people in our past that we would like to erase from memory, but proving them wrong is even better, I think. Thanks for posting.

Hooray for Respect. He is a wonderful fellow. Know him intimately. Married to a wonderful gal named Love. They have a beautiful child called Faith. Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |

There are so many memories I would like to bury, but maybe we should prove them wrong. Well expressed. |

Yes, some should my friend. . . but some should come back so we can say to them, "See? I did it!!" Excellent poem my friend. . .  ----------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sunshine, you respect is merited and well-earned....without it, we are nothing and those who can lose it and get it back are truly masters of their own fate.... |

just one who truly believed in me and truly wanted the best for me and trust me his name is not Hope his name is Respect he put esteem back in my spine adoration back in honor and he allowed me to become the best I could be once again if you only knew the tears this brought on...as he walked in here, saw them and said to me..what's the matter? and I couldnt answer..overwhelmed by your words and wishing he understood what he has done to me...these last few months... ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

Sunshine, I think memories are to be treasured. You have to let go of the bad and hang onto the good. This one really gets you thinking. 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 |

So well done Sunshine I really the make me as good as I can be line......It's all any of us ever wanted isn't it? Very nice writing and when you can write like this you never ever have to blame someone's lack of insight on yourself...they have to deal with their lack of heart because the heart provides insight to many no matter what level of intelligence that marvelous seat of emotion has a way of uncovering the truth sooner or later..... ethome |

LW, yes, you are right, and I do...but sometimes, a whiff of perfume or a brisk breeze can send thoughts reeling backward, and one thinks of the roads taken...thank you for reading... Paula...and YOU are wonderful for your words...thank you... Ethome, you have some great lines yourself "seat of emotion"...and you know I always enjoy your coming around to read... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

We are a sum total of all of our life's experiences, warts and all, I would miss my bad memories were they to be swept from me, as they have made me who I am today. Yes, I still cringe in rememberance of them but they are like old friends that I know so well and I can quickly put them back in the attic of my mind where they belong. Good visualisation and very thought provoking. Wishmaster. ~ You cannot be what you want to be if you do not know who you are ~ |
