Time Passages and empty Foyers

Time Passages and empty Foyers

 

 

 

 

I curled up

in the arms of a decade

 

the lover gave me years

then vanished

 

now I am assaulted by a decade

I detest

 

the ruination

a book of detestable poems

 

but i couldn't write you out of my

conscience

 

I could only curl up

with your memory.

I read something recently about how our memories are not replica's of the moments, instead, we ourselves attached thoughts, feelings and emotions to our very only memory, therefore we interpret them in the way we wish to. I find it interesting that we more often than not, decide to attach the negative emotions to time passed, memories faded. We all do it and lately I have be wondering if this is escapable.

This is real and raw and I sink in to each word.

I wonder why that is, KWP...that we mostly attach the negative emotions...better for writing I guess.

I wonder why that is too ... do we enjoy the pleasure of the pain ?

You detest this decade? It's only just begun. Or was it a past decade that passed too fast. Perhaps you don't detest the decade, only the words you made. Like all memories ... it will fade.

probably all of it...thank you, Bill

WOW....the concept of curling up with memories. Remembering the wonderful times now gone. Makes me think of Barbra Streisand's song, "The way we were". Impossible to forget some people...and maybe the memory brings us a bit of solace. Great one. Lydi**

The good memories flow through the bad till only good comes through, curling up with memories sometimes leaves peace deep inside, nicely expressed ;-}

Thank you for your kind words, willow,

Although the good times heavily outweigh the bad tis the memory off the latter we hold onto. Perhaps if the good times scarred too this would not be the case.
The foetal position is quite comforting at times
Good morning sir

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, it is, thank you, Gee....

and good morning to you...

The lover gave you years before she vanished. There must be many poems that aren't detestable. There must be many poems and memories of good times. Why is it the bad lingers? Sad poem J.

I so wish we could.

Hurt lingers, love can fly

A very endearing Memory… Curling Up is like being in the Womb… so safe and sound… My Life is not a Poem.. rather it is Stormy and restless…
Where the Wind blows through the Sycamore. Be blessed with feathers of long ago that fell from a Lovers Breast as Adventure took her to other Dreams. tenderly, Pat

[jacob erin-cilberto]
