I can`t see the sun nor the stars
Behind these bars, it doesn`t matter
If you`re near or far
Life goes on alone
Trapped in a nowhere zone
People go on living day by day
While I`m frozen in time
My thoughts are always far behind
Isolated from what I once knew
Sitting here knowing we`re through
No more, me and you
Why do I go on remembering
What else, have I to do
But, sit and think of you [comments] => 5 [counter] => 131 [topic] => 24 [informant] => jamesstockdale [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LoveRemembered )

Behind These Bars

Behind these bars
I can`t see the sun nor the stars
Behind these bars, it doesn`t matter
If you`re near or far
Life goes on alone
Trapped in a nowhere zone
People go on living day by day
While I`m frozen in time
My thoughts are always far behind
Isolated from what I once knew
Sitting here knowing we`re through
No more, me and you
Why do I go on remembering
What else, have I to do
But, sit and think of you

Another piece that I am sure that many, myself
included, can easily relate to. We tend to use our
memories to tether ourselves to the past. Having
minds like we do it is, in my opinion, one of the most
difficult things to do as far as letting go of the past
and moving on all the while keeping our memories
close to wash away the grey clouds and allow the
sun to warm our hearts and let the world back in.
Great writing as always my friend. Although there is
great sadness here you express it brilliantly.
Sometimes opening the flood-gates of our heart
helps the healing process begin.
Again another brilliant piece.

Trapped in lost love is indeed as you portray it here; a prison. The irony is, the only way to free ourselves is to allow love to once again possess us. Love got us in and love must get us out.
Time has no intention of waiting as we languish in limbo.
Perhaps that is why the price of wisdom is time.
How sad that you have concluded to remain is your only option. My heart wants to send you a cake with a file in it.

Yes it is true that one is behind bars in real love. Nice piece thanks for sharing. I am putting a poem out there entitled Quest you might like to read it.

Thanks
