if we let it-
freezes Time

and we move on
leaving it behind;

unchanged and unresolved.

We plant the last Kiss
with a question mark
knotted in the Unresolved.

We drag our dead poet love
into the future
bound and gagged
in the truck of the car
because all past loves
are Dead Poets;

we ignore the muffled cries
in the rear;

drive toward the future
tamping down the present
with a finger
dipped in
past and jaded memory.

We smother old past poets
put them away in the closet
because New Love
most often
doesn't share our
Former Poetries.

We reel in the Future now
before it is born;

we make Hope for New Love
to lie
down in the cold;

but, our warm coat
is in the closet
which means
at odd times
in the chill
we dream of dead poets,

who sometimes
don't remain
dead still. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 225 [topic] => 43 [informant] => lnnie [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

I am amazed at the originality of your titles and your poem topics. If I could only be in your mind for one day, just one! You have this way of writing that makes me feel things. I don't even know what the things are, but I feel something. More importantly, you place thoughts in my mind that I've never thought of in such a deep way.

LOVE LOVE this one.

Oh this holds true for me! I love your style of writing. Thank you for sharing this one.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
