Never

This is an older poem I'm re-posting.

We were pure and we will never know

We were true and we chose to go



No matter if it was to be more

Time freezes here

Closing the door

But the moment is strong enough

Cutting straight to the core



Sometimes the power of impression

Only needs a moment

To change someone,

To move someone,

Quickening, lovely, potent



Memory will always see

The moment, you and me.

The force of destiny



Etched in the heart

Etched into time

Right from the start.

as you say - a perfect picture memory for roses in December. Enjoyed.

the way you wrote it , gave it it's intensity , which I liked alot .

Another excellent write. I can see I will find all of your writing to be exceptional. I love the whole poem, as I can relate to each word, but the first two lines hit to the core, set the tone, and well, the second stanza is impressive. I can't say enough to give it justice. Well done.

the power of impression......most definitely powerful, wonderful!

[C. M. Miller]

So EASY to read, your words sparse and uncrowded. Even the spacing is calculated to bring the eyes ever downward . . . until finally they come to rest; your poem etched into memory I never had.

Very thought-provoking. Seems to me you are speaking of a brief love, or brief moment, that was meant to go no further than that one moment. Interesting that you gave the title "Never" to the piece, when it seems that "Once" seems to be at the heart of this piece. Of course, this is only my opinion, but that's what I love about poetry...the many interpretations one poem can lend itself to.

"time freezes here... but the moment is strong enough..." Love this
Friendly and hopefully constructive criticism: change: "sometimes the power of AN impression" to just "sometimes the power of impression..." (Not sure how you feel about that; just something I thought while reading through)
Love the line "only needs a minute to change someone." So beautifully true.
"Memory will always see the moment..."
This poem is really beautiful and I can certainly relate.. Those perfect moments in time that you can still, and always will FEEL
this was such a wonderful reflection.

I can relate to this, I know exactly where you are with this. I loved it! Do you want chose instead of choose since you are talking about the past?
It is easy to dream about the one that got away, but living in a dreamworld isn't really living...I am talking from experience!
