A Tossed Love Potion

I remember the pain

of that day;

so today,

I’ll capture that

piece of my heart

and place it in

a glass jar.

Bonjour!

Plus comme bon voyage...

Here on the shore,

I toss the memories

into the sea,

so that they’ll

never be

dealt, felt, or smelt

ever again…

Just one with

the wicked ocean.

I didn't know you know French!!! Ah, you and I are alike in this, I usually gather memories in boxes and gently set them free into the sea (literally!). Though probably all in my head, I feel a heavy weight lift off my shoulders. A new beginning commences. Adieu et bon voyage indeed to yesterdays!

Just a tad bit here and there.
That is so awesome! I have only done that once, but there are times where I write things that I want to let go into the abyss; in which, I feel no one else should read or know - not even myself, so I burn them.
Most days I feel like do that to all my works, but then I think twice about it and post them on here now.
Thank you so much Nadia!

Catchy, Creative, Cute. Great work!

This poem flows very nicely, and I love the imagery that you evoke with your diction. The concept of using the ocean as a metaphor for "moving on" in life was clever and unique. Can't wait to read some of your other work.

Releasing the feelings and emotions is the most freeing thing. You've captured this here

I really like this. I like the certainty of your choice in how to deal with the pain. Close that door & open a new one.

couldn't stop reading it because it's so simple yet so emotional and i could really relate

This is simple and heart felt! Love it.

I appreciate this kinds of poems. Out of pure emotion and wanting to escape from reality. This is one of the good ones. Keep writing. ;)
