Notebooks

A Poem by LapseOfMind

I found some really old notebooks of mine and this flowed out.

The past never leaves
It only drips from your skin
Claiming space in your eyes
It's choice is to live
This gravity lifts me
And reflects what once was
Fingers bent on the broken
Life with never enough
And yet I'm in the distance
This vision fading from sight
Reminded memories whisper
As I'm pushed forward in time

Memories, can be good or bad? I believe okay to keep old notebooks. Reminders that once you were young and foolish once. I agree, we must go forward. We on built upon life struggles and victories. Make us wiser and smarter if we are lucky. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I do not know how familiar you are with The Beatles, if you know them at all, but this poem had the feel of the song "Across the Universe".
"Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup" that is just a part of the song. But the way the poem flows and just blends in with itself as if a string of thoughts on a pretty necklace of your soul.
I really liked this poem. I liked how it flowed and how it reminded me of my favorite band. Thank you for sharing. Great piece!
