A LOST LOVE THAT CAN ONLY BE RESURRECTED BY A DREAM

There are places that I go to

That only I can see

I cannot really explain them

Its a journey belonging to me.

Dreams of past memories

Dreams that relive my past

Dreams that take me to places

That are close to my heart.

A love that I long for

A love that has passed

A love lost in time

Trapped in my past.

There are places that I go to

That only I can see

I cannot really explain them

Its a journey belonging to me.

Trapped in yesterday

By a love that cannot be

There's no turning back;

My journey,.......... my destiny.

If only I could bring back

Yesterday into today

To continue... an unfinished journey

That belongs to me........ someday.

I enjoyed this poem alot
The places we all go to

A getaway and the sweetest of all escapes
It matters to return back and not allow our past pains take us away

I love this wise read of pure imagination and essentially getting away
and i got away reading it :)

Super ..... cool

Thank you for entering your poem into my competition.

I really really enjoyed it.

It read very well, the fluidity was great and every single word that you used was of importance, that is the one thing I adore about poetry in that you do not need many words to evoke a feeling or an opinion.

Again, thank you :)

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you so much ElizaB for your lovely review.

A beautiful work my friend. Soft with a haunting search within my mind as I follow your vision. There are thoughts from our past that only within our minds will we know. It cannot be explained, but you did a darn good job of trying. well, Done.

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you so much Willard and for dropping by!

I knew it all along Andrew, you are a deep and serious dreamer/thinker/spinner/poet/man.
I go to these places also, in a way. Not so much memory as memory filled and memory fueled but wholly new.

[andrew mitchell]

Thanks Amy for your compliments but I'm just a plodder! lol

A lovely piece about longing for the past and the things we have lost on our journey though life.

A simply written, engaging poem, Andrew.

I must say, this is one of the best poems I have read on self-reflection. Such exact conveyance of emotions through deft techniques of communication, loved reading it, Andrew. Read it twice, and sent a friend a request to read your poem, and am shelving this in my 'favorites'. This has touched me to the core.

Thank you for sharing a journey that belongs to you.
Best,
M.

Thank you so much Malika for your kind words and appraisal. Sadly this is true of a love lost that I thought about for 20 yrs and only now I can let go!

[θεά ]

And let go through such good writing!
Keep it up, Andrew.

[andrew mitchell]

Thanks Malika:):)

I enjoyed the sense of walk-to-infinity in the poem. I hardly can expect a life to be devoid of consistent evolution, however slow that may be. Good work.

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you so much Gaurav

You have dreaming on your mind at the present Andrew This has a sad tinge to it somehow as the protagonist reflects on much that has past.

[andrew mitchell]

Just always wanted to explore or express dreams. A forgotten world!
