Dirty hands desperately grasp at the mud-covered hem of a worn T-shirt. He shrugs her off so she grabs the ground. She stands, wobbles slowly, paintbrush in hand as she calls out Wants to hear him talk about all the things she can't seem to remember anymore. Downward spiral and she's trapped, their hands grab relentless claws of pain ripping her memories from her stealing the fruit of her mind. Remember a time, when time was nothing more than a constant? With a wheelbarrow affect on the world, she dries her eyes, lifting things up moving them downward, dropping them on others, drowning herself with them. The text scroll in her mind is nothing more than continuous stock numbers now, limited intelligence has brought her to a place where all that she paints is the things in her mind that she couldn't bear to forget. The honey trees left, and she wants to go with them, she seals the deal with a swing of her hips. The past no longer present etched into her mind she surrounds herself with the paintings on the wall. Take me back to a time of contentment where the evil was only present in my mind. I want to go back to a time of normalcy back when I would not forget to remember. |

Geeze, I have not read a bad poem all day! How do you guys do it? I think the whole world needs to read this, then perhaps no wars would be needed, if only we all remembered (sigh) Jeff |

(big hugggssssssss) I think we all want to go back to the time before the serpent ever left the apple or Pandoras Box was ever opened, sadly there are so many who continue to be curious of the effects and continue to contort the image! (sad sigh) I send prayers out to all the world, dearest friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Alyssa, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

This made me rethink a few things... definitely book material Sometimes you find a friend where once there wasn't one. Sometimes you find a love where once there was a friend. |

After reading this poem of yours, I hope nobody forgets to vote for it. Great writing, I enjoyed it immensely. Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent. |
