Russell Sivey Poet Quatrain

Memories Beyond the Door

I am sure the verse of fear in writing
Extreme sense of sadness lies in my dreams
Memories seem to be locked deep inside
I cry for the loss of my tender scenes

My heartfelt dreams, those of powerful love
Are also tucked away beyond any hope
Any hope of getting them for feeling
Making me try to understand and cope

Pain’s so intense that I can’t remember
The joys of life are gone with this disease
My longtime memories are gone, I hurt
I feel real terrible, it brought a tease

I’ll never know the sure pleasures of life
Like others who can see their past at will
They’re lucky, even with bad memories
All are hope for the future, loving still

Entered into Constance La France's "Memories Beyond The Door" contest

Poet Destroyer A April 29, 2013 at 6:40 PM Hi Russell, Constance will love this poem. I think she has a good taste for this kind of imagery, as so do I. I don't envy those who can see pass their will. I like having faded memories of my past. a very deep write. Good luck in the contest ~LINDA
