not to touch

Writing in past tense is a good way to flashback and express long feelings and nostalgia either tragic or ecstatic. We write it out. A brief but honest poem.

Thank you, Tumi,

Writing from rote of what's already been written or feeling from memory the gentle kiss of love would be a tragedy writing itself. Please be sure to flag the below spammer's account (Patricia Lovick) for removal from this site for spam. I did. Thanks.

Yes, I had already flagged it...the site is full of spam lately...worse than usual.
Thanks for your words on this poem, Fabian,

Past is more powerful than present. Future is more creative than present. Good poem

Yes I get it we write about past emotions praying it doesn’t affect us in our heart or moods or mind and take us smack back to those times
We want to share it but not necessarily relive the whole experience

Good write

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Absolutely true, Julie.
thanks for your words,

Reminds me of walking barefoot in Texas where every bug either bites or stings, and every plant has briars... places where we must be tread lightly and with caution.

What Is deemed my " decent writes" are all written after the death of loved ones. I would much prefer to be writing crappy, happy poems:)
Hi Jacob, hope you are well

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I hear ya, but we know it is much easier to write pain than smiles.
thanks, Gee,

I get it (or at least I think I do), some things are too sacred to explore or express, like memories- but you want to do it anyway. . If I got it wrong, I'm sorry but your words spoke to me about "bribing my heart not to touch" , thank you.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Never a wrong or right with poetry, Amanda. You see what you see as the reader and the poet should revel in that.
I like where you took this.

It does tend to beg the question though, would a writer not want the words to describe the pain or would they be happy with a control, alt delete function with added blissful ignorance?
Hmm, I don't know which I'd choose to be honest.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Me either, Lorry...thank you for your comments,
j.
