Jenna Logan Poet Free verse

Sepia Visions

Nestled in the arms of night's embrace
 I wait for grievous thoughts to fade
  as though they were bubbles popping
   one by one, in a fluted glass of champagne

When bold colored memories languish
 sepia visions distort my sorrows
  and the scars branded across my heart
   become blurred by the moon and stars

I'd rather not recall the depths of sorrow
 No need for crayon drawings of it all
  Time should erase the heartache I feel
   but it's moving much too slowly, I think

Gershon Wolf June 26, 2020 at 7:26 PM Love that analogy of the grievous thoughts to bubbles of champagne popping... I can just picture them popping one by one by one... each one corresponding to a tear over differentiated grief. Superb, Jenna. Write on, please! Thanks, Gershon Jenna Logan June 27, 2020 at 6:07 AM Your review and kind words are encouragement. Thank you, Gershon.

Mark Toney June 26, 2020 at 10:34 AM Jenna, your brilliant poem reminds me of the Evanescence lyric “ These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real. There's just too much that time cannot erase.” I’ve added this to my Fav Poems. Again, welcome to the Soup. Cheers! ~Mark Jenna Logan June 26, 2020 at 4:54 PM You're so right about the lyrics you've left. I'll have to check into Fav Poems? I'm still navigating my way around. Thanks for another visit.
