Thoughts

A Poem by Alisa Js

breathless for so long
I've forgotten how to breathe

silly stories run in my head all with great endings that never leave

memories leak
and for a brief moment, the sun is much warmer than I seem to remember
time lags and I'm somewhere
before here.

laughing by the water's edge
we were certain the answers were ours
our secret was out in the open
and we knew it not

foot steps not followed have fallen 
doors, once open 
are less than ajar and wait for the turning key

images flash through the sun's heated rays
dew drops dare not quench any thirst
he walked up with swagger
she turned away, red- faced
suddenly twenty-three

the pictures were keepsakes
memories retraced ...

Ya just keep getting closer don't you..lol… And better is best~ Quick thought is that I would remove "for the taking"..it's a cliche and this is YOUR poetry..Love as always.

Yet another amazing read, certainly one that will certainly make any reader, stop and think. I have to say the ending in its on way sums it all up. Cherish our memories, life, love, all the little things we tend to take for granted, even ignore in some instances...always nice to have things to look back, reflect upon.

Aloha from wet Belfast Alisa -
Is that what we do...make mediocre/good memories into great ones with full on Hollywood-esque lens refracted sun beams and make bad memories into horrible ones that should only be remembered on treated paper? Even though nothing ever fully developed.its not always easy to Carpe that Diem.

Your writing here is steeped in melancholy dear poet but I feel like a happy hippo in a mud bath as I wallow in it.
Thank you for sharing this with us here my friend.
