Long Bittersweet memories Poems

LETTER TO A SOLDIER
A Trilogy


I.  SONGS OF LOVE

Love walked with me
In the crisp fall air
In a shower of gold and red.
Love showed me the print
Of a doe’s foot
And where she made her bed.

Love sat...

Am I the insane boy and you the sane individual?
I held on for dear life as I sky dive in my mind's eye...you're the light bulb and I'm the silly fly
You are being the flawless...

There is a star for every
shattered dream
every time a person breaks
a star is added to the endless canvas
of the sky
and as I stand

Breathe

and stare at those fond memories
above me-
I collapse with the weight of it...

I didn’t mean to interrupt you,
But I must leave you for a while
I didn’t mean to alarm you in any way possible,
But…I’ll be back – I’m not a deleted file 

The walls are haunting me…
Intimidating...

I carry bittersweet memories of her-
I held such an ambivalent idea of who she truly was.
She was an angel by day yet arcane 
darkness consumed her at night.
My tactile touches were measurable 
and my instincts...

I have found little to paint my life
As exquisitely as your song
For the sun did not shine on my bearing
Or grant me shelter from the rain

I am but an ordinary creature
Of no flair or finesse...

Words  
Flowing from your full sensuous lips
Cascading and spilling out 
Over your chocolate flesh
As your voice reaches my ear
My body tenses up and then relaxes
Tingling with anxiety

I wish that I could do more 
Than...

You walked out the door
Didn't even bother looking back
I was frozen, Couldn't take anymore
I fell to my knees, and began to cry
What else was I to do?
You hurt my heart
You hurt my soul
But you never...

Bittersweet memories,
Bring you back to me,
In vain,
I've tried to hate you,
God himself knows,
How many nights I've prayed,
How many tears I've cried,
But alas,
They hold no volume,
To whom they are directed to.

Questions rattle around, 
In this thing...

Bittersweet memories are too hard to forget
It hurts too much to be happy
It feels too good to be sad
So we settle for less
We settle
Deep down in our seats
Sinking, bottomless, dark
Scared
Gripping the handlebars tightly
never letting go...

I gotta whole lot of emptiness,
a vacuum full of void
With no more heart problems around,
I’m not beset
by any sadness or regret
To tell you the truth,
I’ve got plenty of nothing left
There’s only an empty chest
of bittersweet...

United Colours: Orange

Pathological agreements made from your spicy allegations,
neurotic contributions based on a fire lit from clay,
all the inescapable state of affairs from intimidating celebrations
my amber ways, your mania stays, controlling on display.

Pornographic images of destruction to a greedy mind
Starvation of education and chivalry very rare to find
Bittersweet memories becoming even more bitter
Wovening hatred and lies our society the fitter

I'D RATHER WADE THROUGH TURBELENT WATERS,
WITH YOU THERE BY MY SIDE,
'CAUSE I KNOW I'M BETTER WITH YOU, A MOMENT,
THEN A LIFETIME WITHOUT YOU,
ACCOMPANYING MY PRIDE.

I'VE SEEN BITTERSWEET MEMORIES,
DANCE THROUGH MY MIND'S EYES,
GIVING ME THIS HISTORY............

These old paths of mine still dear to me 
Lead through the woods to the timeless sea 
Bringing back life's bittersweet memories 
As I walk my tears away.

The past has painted a dreary history 
with emblems of bittersweet memories, 
Benign soaring deeds in almost everything, 
but generations to come will be a surprise. 

When worlds far apart ceremoniously unite,

Unfathomable is my lamentation and melancholy,
     Boundless and infinite this inconsolable heart;

My true love no longer loves me anymore,
and the love in my heart, what am I to do with it?

Joyce was my friend
We met as adults both troubled in our own way
Her smile brighter than any star
Her laugh just as contagious

She was a patient person more so than I
And her dreams were big but...

I watch these flames catch fire
Burning bittersweet memories
That have been tainted with
The touch of cold Hate.

It's not you I hate, I could never,
It's the feelings you gave me
That fuel this rage, I'm not used
To feeling...
