troubles and ridiculous thoughts

deeply moved

by this unnamed feeling

that turns to effort

and lingers in the

back of my memory

always there

always willing

to force me to do

some things that i might regret

upset by the timing

by the light in your eyes

by the elegance

that ironically comes with all of this

gentle and heavy

needing no one to save me

while jealousy and impulsive moments

make the worst of the best

along with this memory

which has no form of

bias

honor

or luck

a long running heartache

a forgotten faith

a badly kept promise...

all the while

rolling constantly inside

my hidden memory

stressed

vexed

complex

simplicity's lost...

so what comes next?

there are some things we just cannot put in the back of our mind and forget. Well written peice.

thanks!!

Very complex and full of emotion. I get the sense of the writer almost being lost within the vast range of mixed emotions the poem represents. Nicely written.

thank you so much. you definitely got the message i was trying to get across.

[Carolann Dowsett]

The conflict in this piece comes across with great clarity. We are so often victims of ourselves. I think your poem does a nice job of comparing the duality of the human condition. Nice job!

thank you! i tend to write a lot about inner conflict, but not purposely....it just happens.
