Melancholy; what was, Again, will never be... * The image shadows, dark and bright (That stare at me tonight) Ride now on death stars... With memory all hazed (Of those that are so far away) I fade out what seemed crimes, Because The lineage of time, and space Has healed most of the scars. * Only good parts of the past are seen Through sleepy daydream eyes (Which comes as no surprise) For the heart adjusts The focus of the lens; And all negatives Escape the paper, White away all saddness Leaving only Happy colors, bluest skies. * end |

Very creatively expressed; I enjoyed the parenthetical rhymes, they added a great touch of flavor. |

Ford~ 'For the heart adjusts The focus of the lens; And all negatives Escape the paper, White away all saddness Leaving only Happy colors, bluest skies' Just about as lovely as they come~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

Thank you all for reading and commenting....:-) ________ice/ford ><> Seymour "Amen" yes, I like to end this poem in the same way....thank you Masked Thank you.....The parenthetical rhyming thing is a quirk I picked up along the way...I do it because my muse tells me the words to use, but I have arguments with it over the issue of forced rhyme... so sometimes we compromise... Martie Thank you, dear friend.....:-) Noah It makes me feel good to make your heart smile, and God knows I need those "big angel hugs" thank you....:-) Marge Thank you, This poem is about love(ly) things, forgiveness of others who have trespassed and my own trespasses..I needed to write this as way of closing, which always leads to different openings....btw, I love the Sufi quote... :-) Shadows I have a little left to share, but I find writing poetry is the best way to not erase pain, but it does salve the wounds....:-) |
