~Ice Memory~ How much longer will your memory haunt me? It’s still there although I’ve tried so hard to set it free There inside my soul is a small winters chill It’s a piece of your memory that remains there still Within the rest of me I’m filled with a rainbow light Love scampers through me filling me with delight But there in that dark corner of my soul I cry And I want to be free of it now I want to finally fly Why do I still hold that memory in that scarred place? Why is it still there I thought I’d removed all trace? I have a love that burns with the fiercest of flame My body is warm and my heart burns just the same But there within my soul there remains some snow And despite how high the fire the ice continues to flow I wish it wasn’t there that I could bid it farewell I want to enjoy heaven not have a piece of that hell What can I do to cut out that cold deadly memory? Why can’t I abandon it and set my soul completely free? I don’t cherish its flavour it tastes bitter and cold And I want my soul to have a warm memory to hold The rest of me is happy I’m suffused with loves light My heart is singing constantly and love shines so bright I want to cast it out to be heated with love’s fire To be warmed in every part of me with its liquid desire Marsha To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

*sigh* *big hugs* Some memories just always have a way of coming back from time to time...usually it is the ones we most want to forget. I understand your feeling, Mushy and you have written them very well. **big hugs**  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Memories are difficult to delete Marsha, I always say I wish I had a delete key like the pc. You did well on this, Floria |

Marsha, My heart goes out to you. I totally understand where you are coming from with this one. I know all too well what it is like to live with a memory that just won't let go. I lived that way for a year, but mine is actually turning out to have a happy ending (I hope!). May your ghost that haunts you dissipate in the wake of the happiness and love you find in the future. Take care. ~What is cherished most is what must be the hardest fought for.~ |

Sometimes memories are what keep us going. I enjoyed this lovely poem very much. The flow was as sweet as the content. Write from the soul and the words will flow |
