When I used to feel.

Something different.

I remember the days of feeling,
the warm smiles; the texture of your touch.
Again lost in thoughts of my past - so freeing,
it happens often enough.

The memories of two souls,
venturing into the crisp air of a cold night.
Stars laced in the sky - so bold;
everything felt so right.

To the days of the first encounter,
that carcass of a class.

To a special night in May,
light bouncing as we danced.

You always knew how I felt;
So claimed your whispers, my icy veins would melt.

When we walked through the ivory tower,
life so fresh, so new.
In this time I imagined my mother, sitting in the pews.
Her beaming smile a luster;
 As I utter,
the heartfelt words I - do.

One day in November, you peered across the dark.
I could tell your love was tangled,
my emotions became so stark.
For on that rainy night, light whipping in the wind,
I let my heart loose to fight.
You never could explain - why it had to end.

Taken to the present,
inhaling another breath.
All good things in my world,
are but memories stained in this head.

"I could tell your love was tangled"....great description of what happens when your love become conflicted inside. This is a wonderful poem; the flow and illustrations are wonderful. I also really enjoyed it because it is clear and easy to relate to. You do not hide what you mean and the reader can feel you emotions along with you! Excellent job.

Thank you for the review! This poem was actually written a very long time ago, I ran across it some old sketch books of mine. Its weird seeing my style of writing change overtime; I have said it before, I think my writing has become to cryptic with the years. Its surprising to see how open I was so long ago.

Thank you Kelsey, your reviews are always so nice. I have been waiting to see a new piece of writing from you, I assumed you were working on a larger project; or simply at a loss for time. Either way, shoot me a read request, I always enjoy reading your emotionally charged writing.
