Memories

Memories

A Poem by Carl Drake Barnard

~Memories~


The clearest of all moments

from times we share.

Controlled by lovable emotions,

we both couldn't bare.


Alas I still remember

our last moments together.

which I'll cherish forever.

The days of November.


We spent our nights

typing oh so innocently.

Withholding that which had no right

apparently.


So we became friends.

Even then we where so scarce.

For being together was just to intense.

With all our heart's cares.


With the shifting of times

our so called future.

Became nothing more then hindering lines.

Regretted by your very own lecture.


Now memories is all that is left,

reminding me when you were by my side.

For which body and mind has kept,

alive for all this time...

Other times they can be the worst... But in this write the memories you hold onto are a wonderful delight. You must have really cared about this woman bro... I can relate to this write really vividly and that's why I really like this. It strikes close to home... I wanna see you write more like this man...
