Framed Memories

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nostalgia memories, so bittersweet.

Emotions impassive of any feelings.

Vivid visions of what was lingers,

leaving classic dreams of long ago.

 

Serene memories nestled away,

leaves her heart beating at a saunter pace.

Wistful for nights wrapped in his rapture,

and whispers of serenaded love.

Fantasies heed her every thought

 

Confluent memories keep her

blended in the past where he is.

His torrid touch encircles her unoccupied body.

Callous tears trail down a numb face.

 

Exuberant memories lavish her,

embraces her with false hope.

Vacuity leaves only a space for him,

and an intense void in her life.

 

Framed memories keep her

looking out from the inside.

She wonders will she ever

loosen her ties and be

free to love again..........

What would we do without our memories? The past lingers on even after they are forever gone. This is a beautiful tug at the heart. Keep writing!

[Coyote Poetry]

The poem is amazing. I like the feel of being captive and fear of love in the words.
"Vacuity leaves only a space for him,
and an intense void in her life."
Some vacuity are hard to fill. I like the question at the end of this poem. Thank you for the amazing poetry.

Your pen strikes the strings of the heart with uncanny accuracy.
It is hard to not get caught up in the emotions of it all.
