"Cigarette filters", cut down the bad,
Inhale the good. Today it was,
"Clothes shopping, skip the queue."

And all the while I was thinking of you.

It seems, all is filtered these days,
You only need to take the best,
But this will never apply to desire,
A concept inviting a bitter zest.

And often I think about days when
I wished I could filter the night before,
Shamelessly crying in the rain,
As I walked in the night, past your door.

And I thought of what lay within there,
Your home, your heart, your life,
I wondered if you sat cosily,
Alone, or with a pregnant wife.

And I thought about how I would filter,
Everything in your head that was not about me,
I thought of all of the snapshots I'd taken
Of you, with my own sad memory.

And now I realise I'm still flicking,
Through an album of images in my mind,
Unable to filter completely that space,
Where you dominate every second of time. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 236 [topic] => 24 [informant] => Phildel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LoveRemembered )

Can't Filter Desire

Yesterday the advert read,
"Cigarette filters", cut down the bad,
Inhale the good. Today it was,
"Clothes shopping, skip the queue."

And all the while I was thinking of you.

It seems, all is filtered these days,
You only need to take the best,
But this will never apply to desire,
A concept inviting a bitter zest.

And often I think about days when
I wished I could filter the night before,
Shamelessly crying in the rain,
As I walked in the night, past your door.

And I thought of what lay within there,
Your home, your heart, your life,
I wondered if you sat cosily,
Alone, or with a pregnant wife.

And I thought about how I would filter,
Everything in your head that was not about me,
I thought of all of the snapshots I'd taken
Of you, with my own sad memory.

And now I realise I'm still flicking,
Through an album of images in my mind,
Unable to filter completely that space,
Where you dominate every second of time.

excellent write.

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. ©
