Nevermore

A memory, the past somehow I knew, we wouldn't last - You and Me - Secrets held, not by me You can't see the hurt, the pain Words spoken, not by you Yet, by me I can see, while standing at the door You and me, We are, Nevermore Featured Poem- 6/17/2018

I also wanted to read your first poem on PoetrySoup after reading Tom’s lovely tribute to you and I enjoyed reading your ‘Nevermore’ ~ Belle

Dear Belle, so kind of you to stop by and read my first poem posted here. While these thoughts are a little on the melancholy side, my heart is happy. Tom is a wonderful friend and I appreciate his tribute. Thank you for being here, for being you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Like Bill I wanted to go back to your beginning Brandy. At first I thought this might be a true tale, but I see from your reply to Sara it's just fictional. I'm glad. I would hate to think you were unhappy. I'll be digging around your site over the next days and weeks, looking for gems. :)

At the beginning, that's where it all began. :) I'm not exactly sure why my thoughts or my muse decided to start in "Nevermore." With that being said, I'm happy; my sweet friend. So kind of you to read through my poetic whispers. You'll find many gems along the way. :)

I thought I'd go back and see how this all began, the birth of a poet extrodinar. It is always good in relationship and in life in general, to listen to your inter voice, the heart ever so true. It's best for everyone in the relationship in the long run. Your poetry always seems to come from your sensitive heart and is always endearing to me, Brandy. Thanks for sharing glimpses of your soul through your intimate poetry, my friend. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Bill, I'm in complete awe with you reading my first poem posted here. The title has a Poe feel, of course, while the words are more emotional. They pull at the heart. I think we all can relate to this, in some way. Emotions are like string, you should always be careful when you untie them. I appreciate you and your lovely comment, my dear friend. My writing does come from the depth of my heart. Thank you for being here, for being you. :) Brandy, from Bama.

Always good to end a relationship when something is going on that should not be going on. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page with congratulations. Sara

You're exactly right, Sara. I'm so thankful that I'm not in a relationship such as this. I appreciate you and your kind words. You're very welcome, my dear friend. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Luckily, in this case love was not blind! Heart and mind are meant to work in unison...and a woman's sixth sense can be very helpful in a situation such as this. I hope since then true love did come knocking at your door :) Regards & Hugs // paul

When writing this, moments of a past relationship caressed my heart. Sometimes it is best to move on, than it is to stay. Yes, my sweet friend, love did find me again. You and your thoughts are appreciated. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

"Somehow I knew, we would not last". Though the process was painful, your intuition that something wasn't right served you well and prevented more years of pain. Even from your first submission here at Soup, your ability to capture glimpses of emotions with powerful words was evident. Blessings to you, dear friend ~ John

Even though this poem isn't based on a real life moment when I posted it, there is truth behind these words. I was in a relationship that didn't last, and I am so thankful that I was smart enough to end it. He was Jealous and Controlling. Two very bad qualities to have. Thank you John, for taking a moment to read my first post. You and your thoughts are greatly appreciated. Many wonderful blessings to you. Hugs, Brandy

Came to read your first post here, and so sad it started out that way, hope you have found happiness, especially after all that you give me through your poetry...I see we have another name for you, Maia, how lovely is that.

Harry, I am honored that you have come by to read my first poem posted. These words do not reflect my personal life. Posting beyond romance and passion, I wanted to do. So sweet of you to notice the name "Maia" Wasn't sure about placing my name here, but after a while- I felt comfortable with doing so. I appreciate you and your kind words. :) Hugs, Brandy

Joseph, this could wrap around the thought of ravens. Smiling at you. However, these words caress emotions of the heart. That feeling of being (Nevermore) Thank you for reading this little scribble of mine. You and your thoughts are appreciated. ~ Brandy

It’s hard when a memory that should have been glad, causes such sorrow and turns out so sad.

This is quite different than most of your poems, Brandy, I was once left standing at the door...but it was for the best.
