Notes About The Poem

Erased Memory

ERASED MEMORY

The rope feels rough
Bloodstained fingers
Loop both ends
A glass bulb alike
Enlightening
How fitting I chuckle
Amazed
Nothing
Nothing remains
But two ends
Alpha
Omega
Me
You
And nothing in between
But distance 
Whirling mist
That slowly but securely
Erases memory
And facial expression
If I jump now
So low
Will my memory
Be erased in yours?

Doug Vinson Date: 12/27/2016 3:01:00 PM My friend, when you return I will be glad. Ropes rough, if they ever get smooth, is that really any good? Things being burned away, stripped off, the furnace of truth ah well I am just saying things. Good luck, Darren. Login to Reply Darren White Date: 12/29/2016 12:06:00 PM I understand Doug. Will manage and be back soon!

Tim Smith Date: 12/27/2016 8:24:00 AM I can sense fear or is it a tiredness of the same routines...My prayers are with you my friend. Login to Reply Darren White Date: 12/29/2016 12:03:00 PM Thank you my friend. Not home yet, but getting energy again for new poems. This one is dark, but I love it nonetheless.

Chris Green Date: 12/27/2016 6:22:00 AM There is a deep loneliness in this and a question at the end that I am sure is desperate for an answer though there are better ways of fining that out. Very sad Darren, this one hurt to read because it was so well written. Login to Reply Chris Green Date: 12/27/2016 7:26:00 AM Ok, we'll be thinking about you. Darren White Date: 12/27/2016 7:25:00 AM Hospital for a little while. Chris Green Date: 12/27/2016 7:22:00 AM Go? Darren White Date: 12/27/2016 7:17:00 AM Thank you for saying it's a good poem.
