Why I Write

Why I Write

 

 

I write

lest I forget

Read my diary and you'll know

 

There are pages of you

from when we first met

til the day you let me go

 

From the dawn you called me

Darling

--Again

Til this night of spilling

tears

 

I write to remember

then

Lest I forget our years.

when we write poems about love, they are an indelible mark...a ledger of events that happened to our heart....a way to remember even as we forget, or try to forget.

I am so identified with the feelings and emotions expressed here. It's an awesome feeling to skip through an old diary and come across those joys and sorrows, those precious moments we had forgotten in the grind of life. Beautiful lines Blue.

Hi

The message in the poem sounds as a cautionary reminder of the "intention of preventing something undesirable" that approaches as something sweet.
