That place

The building was not always there,
once a long time ago it was different.
More different then anyone could imagine,
the water
the sparkling of the sun,
most beautiful sound of laughter
peaceful
no one aware of what could happen.
Too beautiful, too beautiful
no reason to care
what happened then spoilt that too beautiful place,
All covered up so as not to expose the hurt underneath.
It's better this way,
better the building is there because you know,
it was far to beautiful.

[Sweet & Tender Hooligan]

A beautiful and lovely poem. That makes you think of memories and places, and of buildings that are no longer there or that have changed. Your poem effectively creates the image and the feeling of that, however the overuse of 'too beautiful' decreases its power. That said its a thought provoking piece.

I miss when the forest and beautiful places were still intact. A very interesting poem. Some people still care for the beautiful things. A very good poem. Made me think. Goal of a writer.
