Nostalgia faces stare through a window of reflections

Nostalgia faces stare through a window of reflections

A Poem by KATHY SUE SILLS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A love story written, erased from inside where sorrow now flows

Sadness patiently drifts on succulent flavors of happier times

Hearts beat in strayed silence

Forever without you whispers come back

Loneliness becomes imminent by night but sustained by day

Lips make stained kisses of no return

 

Melted faith cascades over shattered dreams

Tinted images of what is paints black over what used to be

Duplicate memories are snap shots in crying minds

Tangled emotions collaspe in hands of two people

that no longer console each other

Slowly they become invisible in eyes of lost love

 

Scented flames of pride burn between unforgiving souls

Broken pieces of trust mirror forgotten vows

Voices echo one another in silent goodbyes

Existence breathes air into deflated hearts

While nostalgia faces stare through a window of reflection,

tears cry in pain

I certainly don't think you suck, at all. I think you are very good and we all get writers block and we all question, at one point or another, whether we are any good or not. I assure you, you are.

You're welcome.
I've always enjoyed your imagery you put into all of your work...and it's nice to see that you're holding on to something you love to do.

Ever since I've joined this site around one and a half years ago, my writing skills have definitely improved. I definitely hope the same happened for you as well.

Thanks for the review!
Our pasts never truly go away, it comes back to haunt us, sometimes it brings back such deep sadness and pain. A truly wonderful poem!

You're very welcome!
it's quite good enough to be read...at the beginning i kept rereading but tripping over "wrote"..wanted that to be "written"---

but still, i like the nostalgia...as you know from my work...i go there a lot...

and i revisit old relationships...except one.

but there is inspiration in what we have experienced...

and when it comes down to the end...often we only have ourselves.
