Half a bite

Fright In love is vain,
I dreaded to be a memory.
My Fall was tranquil, her Smile
impeccable, it rendered me poignant. 
Too stoned to worship her imperfections
a statue I became.

Silent One Date: 3/25/2024 12:49:00 PM I think we all dread to be a memory, but such is the ego of humanity that we fade away for so many, some we do not care for, but there is always that one person we never wanted to be forgotten by them.... Login to Reply Tonye George Date: 3/25/2024 1:10:00 PM There's always that one person. But sometimes I really don't wanna try if they'll only be but a memory. Don't want to think about someone else when I'm with another, or spend my life wishing i could erase the memories. So I don't even try anymore. Lovely insight Silent.

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 3/24/2024 6:23:00 PM Dear Tonye, I love how you wonderfully encapsulate the bittersweet essence of love and longing. The contrast between fear and desire, tranquility and poignancy, is palpable in your words. I liked your imagery of being too stoned to fully embrace imperfections is filled with the complexities of human emotions. It's a great reflection on vulnerability and the struggle to reconcile our feelings. Tonye, this is an evocative piece. - Blessings, Daniel Login to Reply Tonye George Date: 3/24/2024 6:38:00 PM Thank you Daniel.
