Recuerdo

Reading old verses

Here I am,
Again.
Making love
With my own old
Verses.

Trying hard
To taste, feel
The tingling,
Euphoric sensation,
That was.

But only to be left-
Unsatisfied.

I feel those things too; some give me smiles, others head-shaking like what was I thinking. Down memory lane , taking stock of our old verses keep us thinking and wondering.

[emmajoygreen]

Wondering why and how, perhaps? Your cleverly laid words are few but their meaning drift from past to present, After four years, however, they still offer a query without answer. Wondering, are you still looking? Do you still want one. It could be sad, yes, but - it could be special. Remembering makes it so.

[Rocans]

Hmmm. A short but delicious poem. Making love with your own verses huh? Something I would say. :) I definitely relate. Things tend to lose its flavor after a while... even life itself as a whole. Sad but true. Great poem.

Have you been marinating in an abyss. Looking over some of your work, I see a talent that should be cooking in a hot spring. Or do most of your eats leave you unfulfilled, these days?

[gabrielle]

Thank you. I’ve been here too often and I lost appetite

[Lydia Shutter]

Oh my....I can relate to this one. I read over old poetry of mine and remember what inspired it and wonder if that was another lifetime....if I even lived it. Gabrielle, this one struck a chord with me. Wonderful! Lydi**

[gabrielle]

Thank you, Lydi.

Sometimes you just have to change lovers.
Out with the old, in with the new guy who just stopped to ask for directions.

[gabrielle]

I guess a relationship without commitment would have that kind of perspective. Thank you for the read.

[Dhaye]

Just like my verses, too? They're the same old lines. I come here to express...and criticize myself later. Lol
Perhaps when we can see the weakness of our words and deeds in the past, that means we have changed or improved.

[gabrielle]

Thank you, Dhaye. I couldn’t even understand some verses i’ve written.lol

[Pax]

its been awhile indeed, gab. Good to see you posting good stuff.. I read my old verses from time to time, to remind me something, some old feelings, or to make me feel again, then unsatisfied emotional burden will be there or even the happiest feelings is gone but it doesn't mean we are numb of sensation we just learned, and live well, i hope u too gab... Miss yah, friend...

[Dhaye]

[Robert Trakofler]

LOL maybe you could try some freestyle:) I dislike everything I write within two or three days its just horrible... but oh how that next thing is oh so tantalising:/

[gabrielle]

Thank you.

writing is a sensual act and like making love can be satisfying or frustrating, especially when an idea almost gets to fruition, right on the verge, but doesn't quite get there...
then we just sigh...and wait for the muse to come again, so we can climb into that back seat...
and see what happens.
so good to see you and read you again, gabrielle.
it's been awhile,
j.

[gabrielle]

Thank you.
