Memories

Sometimes we lose the one we love

                           Memories
Memories of you lay siege to my mind,
Ribbons of longings my heart doth entwine,
Away you have flown with winged ease,
As my soul searches for you in each wafting breeze.

 

Gentle assurances bear no burden,
As the space between us widens,
Eloquent silence ravages my phyche,
Even as I cling to your cherished memory.

Deep within the folds of my tortured existence,
Tendrils of regret garner me no chance,
To  traverse the void between us two,
For I am here and there are you.

 

Chaotic dreams bring your fevered embrace,
But when I awaken I am torn from this place,
And reality intrudes bearing reasonless rhyme,
To each their own space and own time.

The comparisons you have made are just awsm. The poem hits you instantly and finds a place in your heart. Truly, seperation is something we don't look fore to and the worst, we talk to dat person on phone or simthing, want to meet him but when we happen to meet, its kinda awkward and no one knows what to talk about. Wonderful write.

Thanks Penny :)

Any man would want to be missed in such a way you have beautifully writing. Although, I hate someone would be as tortured in such a way. Awesome job! :)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Chris :)

I love it... sometimes all you have is really memories. Memories of when it all made sense, memories of better times...

[Vidya Bacchus]

Aww thank you Rose.True that :)

[Radhika]

You have explained EXACTLY what is felt when we are lost in memories , craving for the person.
I think almost everyone has experienced this void in their lives which can be filled by nothing but memories ...a very heart-warming piece !

'Eloquent silence ravages my psyche Even as I cling to your cherished memory.....And reality intrudes bearing reasonless rhyme To each their own space and own time' So truthful lines. Reality exist in realm of space and time, but memories exist beyon that. So,longing makes dreams more sweeter than life. Use of beautiful imagery and the flow of lines is just wonderful.

Thank you so much Rehan :)

your three beginning lines from your three stanzas are so beautifully constructed. it doesnt seem as if their empty words but it brings me back to somewhere i wanna go, somewhere beautiful , a place I knew before I outgrown the truth

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you for your lovely review :)

What wonderful imagery you employ throughout this poem, Vidya! The romantic longing is intense and the heartfelt pain is palpable. Dreaming of the one you love is wonderful, but nothing beats having him/her there with you. A beautifully written poem. Lydi**

Thank you dear Lydi :)

That's a wonderful poem ! Loved the way you developed such a painful topic, to write properly about negative things happening to us is not easy at all, it takes a poetic soul to do so. On a technical level I loved the use of the archaism "doth". Very strong and vivid images, "eloquent silence", i'm not going to forget such an original association of words !
Great job !

[Vidya Bacchus]

You have made me smile with your most wonderful and kind words .Thank you so much :)

[外人 (Gaijin)]

The flow and choice of words used are lovely. You also use one of my favourite words, 'entwined', so elegantly!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you so much for your kind words !
