where have they gone

Submitted by judyanne on Tue, 2015-02-03 12:09

a melody captures
recognition
a reflection
a moment
left in a dark glass

days have drifted
dust envelops and veils
the diary of my mind

conceals whole chapters
characters
events

memories muddied
fragments of tableaus
as broken colours
from fractured crystal

but somehow, I remember
those nights being a little brighter
days more blithe
and friendships more blest

where have they gone
those I have known

and forgotten

I wonder
do they remember
me?
.

Very touching soliloquy where each word seems to be soaked in crystalline sentiments.

good better and best-------------------------
only u can sacrifice
at best

the question is
not where all of them have gone
the Qs should be posed to you
where have you gone ?

ur poetry is like dripping honey.....
right from the bees comb??? ((is it correct?)
and
who but you alone know how to such nectar comb /(for rhyming)
siphon for correctness
choose which ever pleases
your ears
at best
