fade to gray scattered fragments of broken promises tempered by a dying fire from the ashes she builds her memories some far from the moment some far from the truth shattered images ‘neath colorless rainbows paled by a careless desire over her shoulder she glares at the pieces some shadowed in black some sparkling in white frozen moments in burning teardrops snared by a painful briar tis such a small pin prick to bleed for a lifetime so far from that moment so far from her youth |

DreamLess....Thank you. PdV...what I'm writing about here is how we can manipulate/distort our memories to ease a loss and the price we might pay if we do so? The style, method and subject material I used were somewhat experimental for me but I feel it worked....it is different. "HEY, DON'T THROW THAT AWAY, I MIGHT NEED IT SOMEDAY!!!" Packratmike |

Hey Mike...self delusion is an amazing thing...the way we can look at a memory differently as the years go by...perhaps self protection is a better way of describing it for who wants to ache over a memory? |

tis such a small pin prick to bleed for a lifetime wonderful phrase ~Wynter..not only do memories change over the years but each sees the events differently and I think we try to hold onto what makes us feel good...~S~ "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

Hi Mike, "Oh" the memories that prick me so, this was wonderful writing here, thank you. Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

I like it, I like it, well done! A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

I really like the way you repeat the contrasting memories. I really like this poem. |
