Everything I Forget

Each time you turn and walk away

I find myself searching

for the sunny days

I know

once ran through my veins.

Until I wish

I could dip my fingers

into the places

where your teeth bit into my heart

once again.

I think of all those conversations

where I believed

that every shadow

lying on the floor

made our lives exciting.

Like an ocean of wine

one drinks within a dream

full of memories,

capturing all

we have been fighting.

Reality seems to lie inside

everything I forget

about loving you

when it blends inside my heart

then hides.

And I can't tell

what is black or white

each time you walk away

and leave me feeling

only........

gray inside.

In the eyes of newfound love everything IS magic, even shadows on the floor, and as we come to our senses, as we wake up with that hangover, the splendors seem no more. I enjoyed your comparison of memories to monochrome, that maybe you could be forever happy living on memories of smiles, but knowing that you can't live in the past blends everything to gray. If it's any consolation, I see newfound love in every beautiful poem such as this, so thanks for keeping the magic alive for me and all on WC. Nice work.

Grey is a color and area of eternal loss, love and unhappiness, well delivered Neva.

So kind is your heart.It is bound to be broken at times.How innocent your eyesight in this case.This is beautiful.We see beauty and hope and life in everything when we are in love,.

Neva Flores... Your words always take my breath away.

You have such a style fixed within your writing... I would recognize you anywhere!

It is sad we use up passion at the beginning. Hard to regain passion and the desire. The poem told a real tale. We want great sex but forget to celebrate each gift of touch and togetherness. I wonder if we were made to have one lover for a lifetime? I like the ending. Thank you for the thoughts provoking poetry. A outstanding poem.

The color grey has never been penned so beautifully before. The picture envokes another calm before the storm. Gorgeous....xo

Just achingly beautiful. While painting a visual image its words twist and cascade from meaning to deeper meaning. "Reality seems to lie inside everything I forget about loving you..." Lovely..

I love the way you use small very effective lines with bigger ones that don't say as much. That is a talent the way you set your lines up. Again great piece Neva
