utopia's comfort

images of you

spittoon handy,

not even worth the effort

of forgetting to remember

what needs to be unleashed

there is a needless need to resolve

come to terms

long term, short term

memory withheld

good night, lover

wherever you are

is perfect

because it is

not with me.

they say poetry is cathartic. who not sure, but in this particular case I would say it certainly is purging

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I believe it is, also. And as we write we can become actors...we may become characters in our writing like playing parts in a play...
anonymous purging in a way.
thank you, Ken,

yes our page is our stage

The last stanza provides the speaker's final judgment. There may be " a needless need to resolve" here, but it appears things turned out as they should have.

I expect so...
thank you, John,

...ah, yes, ex-love and the often angry mind-looping that needs be banished. There's nothing quite like it!!!
a good write, too close to home :)

No mistaking the emotion in this short poem. Cuts to the quick it does. The further away she is the better. Wherever she is, it's too close. Must have been a disaster to feel that strongly J. The spittoon handy line, a killer.

I do love the below lines and I understand them.
"wherever you are
is perfect
because it is
not with me."
Sometime a few states away is comfort. Thank you Jacob for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.
