Evanescent

Even before I learned to love

there was

this song that tore me up

inside and out

 

then I met you

and you

did the same

thing to me

 

I listened again

and it’s meaning

rang eternally

 

longing

For

the past

 

and

 

things that don’t

last

"longing
For
the past

and

things that don’t
last"

This last passage is excellent. This poem has a gentle, swing-like motion in feeling - which is quite fitting to meaning. There is a melancholic dreaminess which seems to hold love and loss combined somehow, I find. It speaks of the beauty of a moment in terms of experience, but a kind of eternity in terms of existence. More than just another love poem. A charming piece of work.

Thanks a lot, brother!

[Devons]

Glad to see you back here, Man!

[The Analog Kid]

Thanks, you too. I will be posting something to the group also.

[Devons]

Quality. Good to hear.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Such a wonderful way you have with words, my friend. You make even a lost love seem like a thing worth remembering. Delightful. F.

Thanks Fabian. I really appreciate it. I really haven't been on here much, but it is nice to hear from you. Sometimes, I forget these poems I had written. Thanks for reminding me!

This is a beautiful poem, full of emotion and a sweet sadness. The spacing is interesting and definitely adds to the overall effect of the poem. Well done!

[The Analog Kid]

Thanks so much.

[Ice QueenJen]

What a beautiful sentiment of writing, and I know just how that feels too.

[The Analog Kid]

Thanks a lot for stopping by Jen!

[Ice QueenJen]

Your welcome, and I love that you are using grandpa for your picture!

[The Analog Kid]

LOL...I love him. He rocks!

I came back to visit, there have been so many songs but only one person at the heart of the song

hope all is well with you

[The Analog Kid]

Thanks, E! Doing decent. Great to hear from you:)

funny how a song can spark such feeling and memories.
Sometimes you can hear it over and over, then one day you finally get it.
I think relationships are exactly like that.
You have that "A-ha" moment. For better or worse...

I think it's natural to long for things of the past when things today don't give us the pleasure or confidence we may have had before. And yet, things never last do they. As George Harrison once sang, all things must pass. Its a sad part of life.

[The Analog Kid]

Thanks, Tim.

[Emily B]

this is wonderful and so very hopeful, beauty and time may be fleeting, but well worth the momentary joy

[The Analog Kid]

Thanks, friend! Been couple months, huh?

[Emily B]

no worries, the word will always pull us back
