Midway Psalm

The Ferris wheel, a spoked and sputtering crown,
Pinned back the velvet dark. We paid our fee
In crumpled bills, bought passage to the town
Where gravity forgot to work its shift for me.
Neon stuttered sermons: "Try Your Luck!"
"See Freaks! Win Love!" The calliope’s thick breath,
A sticky-sweet confection, made us drunk
On promises spun sugar-brittle, sweet as death.

We traded

Premium MemberBittersweet Memories' Song

recently scenes of early life have stolen into my mind, like breezes blown ..."
Quote by _Samuel Taylor Coleridge (from his writings)


Throughout each day your spirit comes to mind.
Upon the grave of love denied I tread.
Somehow in precious recalls peace, I find.

Three years get often tangled in my head.
Which day and time did that event occur?
But

Premium MemberBittersweet Memories - a Repost

Whispering sighs through the white birch trembling
Like the sweet sounds of my whispering word
Against soft crevices of your flesh, mumbling
Expressions of ardent love went unheard.
Summer love slipped before beyond my grasp
Left stale memories in my aching heart,
Two hearts lovingly entwined, two hands clasped
Before cool autumn ripped us apart.

I strolled beneath the canopying birch
Recalled pleasures underneath

Bittersweet

I will always miss my friends
I am leaving, leaving them behind
And it feels like I will never see them again.
As time goes on, they start thinking of futures together.
Futures that I cannot be a part of.
Because I am leaving, and I don’t have a choice.
I don’t want to leave them.
These friends
Are my best.

I will always

Of Bittersweet Memories

We met, we touched, we loved;
in the moment we were one.
As time faded, we melted:
each flowing into each other.
Today, silent sounds
penetrate the distance;
the bridge of time spanning
love’s troubled waters—

And now I sit all alone
in the crowd of my thoughts,
sipping realities 
from a filled cup
of bittersweet memories:
I miss you terribly.

Bittersweet Memories

Remembering all the days of yore,
    brings me back to the way I felt before-
      I knew not that I would swim and drown, 
         or all the anguished sadness I had in store.

Those memories of her, now bittersweet
Recalling tender moments that we shared
Young lovers' dreams which time can not defeat
Is proof down deep inside how much I cared

My pining heart still yearns for yesterday
To taste those honey kisses once again
Her dark brown eyes that always seemed to say
The love she had for me would never end

But that

Bittersweet Memories

Nostalgia  
Endearing, wistful 
Recalling, longing, reflecting, 
Remembering a cherished time
Beloved

Grief
Sorrowful, tragic
Mourning, desiring, paining 
Torpid from heart’s despair
Loss

Bittersweet Memories

Walks around the lake are bittersweet memories
that leave tears in my eyes
tears in my eyes
I remember the way your hand felt in mine
how the world seemed fine
yeah
the world was mine
I remember staring into your eyes
knowing that you would always be there
My mind is full of these bittersweet memories
leaving tears in my eyes
tears in my eyes
I
