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

we do have gliches here like that

The wandering path of memory touches each and every soul... for who does not recollect a particular young playmate, who--in youth--inspired wondering of what a future with them would be like? As Aging itself catches one, do we not look back with another side of wondering? We do. The word 'wistful' hardly seems to describe this piece adequately, but it is the closest word I can utter in response. I girl's photograph appears less than real, or the eyes enhanced with contacts. Hauntingly lovely, nonetheless.

I liked these words the most,in this work...

Amazing read.. really. It took a while after I opened the page for me to read.. the picture you used was absolutely perfect. I love eyes.. so very much. Great choice. The poem flowed perfectly with every word. The emotions and passion was felt throughout. Nice job with this.. keep writing.. you have such a talent. Did I mention that I loved those stunning eyes? Thank you for sharing!

One of the most touching and romantic 'lost love' poems I've read in a while. The picture hit me first with those intense eyes, but this is a good work even without that pic. It read well, clearly imagined and very relatable.

[Rick Puetter]

This is a beautiful poem, Tate. Your poems are always romantic and conjure up wonderful sentiments, but the words of this piece match the beauty of the sentiment. Wonderfully done. Excellent write. High marks.

Best regards,

Rick

Seems like you're writing as a child coming into adulthood....the door symbolizes childhood. You can go through it but when you do you can never go back. Very nice.

[Nayan]

Another marvelous write!

What does these lines refer?
"My heart ached for what could have been
if behind that door we had stayed"
