Not Forgotten

 

I thought I had forgotten

what with spring came back to me

Words un-uttered thoughts we stirred

of the way things use to be

 

I remember the dark door

where we hid from all the rain

A dry respite from the storm

safe in arms I'd felt no pain

 

I went back to the small doorway

where happily our loves had played

My heart ached for what could have been

if behind that door we had stayed

 

With wild, spring, rain and thunder

something wondrous comes this way

Your eyes had said more that night

than your lips could ever say

Sorry about this Tate, I wasn't trying to be humorous, merely curious. I went to this site to read this work last nite and tried to review it , but wasn't able. I scrolled down and saw my pic and a review.....however their was a different name under my pic with a review that I didn't write. I see that it's gone this morn....some sort of a snag, I assume........Barbz

[SunShine Meadows]

this is great! My favorite lines are the last two! It reminds me of my poem "Our Moment" but i really like this!

Good imagery. Try free verse for awhile though I think you have a novelist's voice inside you poetry might be too resrtirctive for your voice. You have something to say behind all of this and perhaps not in a nice way. Poetry delivers ideas in a nice way. Sometimes stories can't be nice and I think that is true with your writing, you may be too honest for poetry. I love it!

Amazing. This reminds me of a childhood love, of the first real/hard love that we all find. One that we never forget. One that we truely capture in our hearts forever and take with us in our memories to beautiful places. I love how it is almost as if the two lovers are together in a world of their own behind the door. Away from the real world. What a beautiful write.. ;)

nice job on this...thought this was an amazing write... imagery was done well and flow was good too.. another great write from you!!

[Tina Kline]

Very nicely done. We all have regrets and when situations come up that remind us, it can be painful.

This reminds me of a Sara Teasdale poem. She is my favorite poet, I read her work all the time.
