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

[Barbz]

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

And the message has been repeated, as all good messages are. Good enough as a poem, though some lines seemed a bit contrived to force a rhyme. Good work.

I can tell that this is a personal piece, and I don't think that I could judge it on it's content. I can tell you that it is marvelously penned, and I think that I can understand the basics of your poem. The thing that I love most about it is the ambiguity; you don't reveal too much to us, but the person "Not Forgotten" will know what you mean.
Bravissimo!

Love the setting of the door. A short but pleasant piece. Creates a very nice "memory."
