Tune of the Play

A sweet symphony plays, smile spreads on the lips, when those moments come alive, I dance in the paradise and the time becomes still. when i try to hold you tightly to my heart, into my arms,you vanish like a magic cart. I open my eyes,and everything around me is familiar yet so alien. sometimes,like a mirage of beautiful colors. The hour-glass is turned upside down you come back dark and haunt me like a nightmare, which aches my soul, eyes shed tears of blood and lips are sealed with thorns, the symphony twirls and dark melancholy plays. Yet i come back to you again & again, like a moth to the flame, letting the sand between the fingers to slip, and not spreading the wings to fly to the moment where everything is now. PS:This poem is a metamorphic work. Its not about waiting for a person or longing for love.It would be helpful if readers guess what am i talking about here,so I can know that the poem has conveyed the meaning.Thank you in advance.

Yes--when the mind takes charge of things past and present..no guessing where it takes us. Reminiscing is both fun and sad..you said it well, Kenisha.

hey, I read it again without looking at your reply to me, and on second guess, I was thinking it had to do with time or past memory, and how we can't get it back. yes, I see from your comment, I got it on the second read!!

Thank you so much reading and sharing your thoughts.But its not about depression.Its about past, either good or bad which most people hold on to,and lose the present time in the hands,reminiscing the past. Have a good day :)

oh Kenisha, I am terrible at guessing on what poems like this mean. I really enjoyed the imagery, however. I thought it was for a love as I am a romantic writer!
