Memories

In the misty waters

of my mind,

i reminisce of the hallowed,

memories that i left behind.

 

Once as vivid

as night and day

now only misty memories

slowly fading away

 

Fading away

like a gentle breeze

on a summers day

but it seems everything fades away

 

Even those

hallowed memories

of me and you,and the feelings,

that we once knew...

Reviews

[Great Aunt Astri]

I think this is a rather beautiful poem, gently cogitating on past memories. And I like the acceptance that, even the good memories will fade away.
I enjoyed your poem.

[wordman]

i enjoyed your review,thank you

[Norma M Sutton]

Time passes and memories fade. Faces blur and only the most important things remain. Maybe it is better that way? Maybe not? I suppose it is all in the context. Good memories or bad.

[wordman]

you are right norma,it is best that way,thank you for the visit

[Einstein Noodle]

poignant in the understatement .. time does a lot with our memories ..sad sometimes and healing at other times ... your poem brings to mind wonderful memories that are so sadly misted by time ... well done says i!

I am breathless!!! This takes me back to when I first fell inlove and reminds me of how much I miss what we once was ... Before we began living with others... ( Not in that way ) but in an influential behavioral changes kinda way... Things are just not the same as they were in the beginning... I guess overtime things just burn out like this flame you speak of inlove reminiscing of what once was in these 2 characters.. A beautiful depiction of love loss my friend ...

A sad but beautiful poem with wonderful repetitions. Feelings arose once to know and slid down with memories that glow...Excellent...:).........

[wordman]

i appreciate the visit,thank you

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome. ...:::))))

[Tony Jordan]

I questioned the repeated use of the phrase 'fading away' on the first read but then got a sense of 'echo' from the second reading about the same issue, which fits right in with 'memories' since they are echoes, of the past.
Nice one my friend.

[wordman]

yes,it was pretty much written in that manner t/j
thank you for reading,haven`t been on w/c for a few days

[Tony Jordan]

good come back mate !!! :))
