This Remains Untitled

by Tom Swart   Jun 16, 2005


Books - fantasies of others relived.
Photographs - lovely memories.
Memories - you filling my heart.
Tears - memories relived.
Wine - Youth aging in a bottle.
Words - seldom the right ones.
Love - compressions of the heart.
Time - an adventure.
Youth - the life we"ve lived.
Hope - a new day.
Beauty - only you.
Autumn - death of old friends.
Death - another beginning.
Birth – women’s gift of love.
Life - how soon it ends.
Wisdom - ones life after love.
Hate - unknown to me.
Growth - my plants in the sun.
Sun - as warm as my love for you.
Friends - to understand me.
Parents - the good old days.
Brother - my younger self.
Apartment - the prison of my possessions.
Plants - my life rewarded.
Music - the tear maker of my soul.
Poetry - my hearts writings and thoughts of you.

1982

    Interesting how a list, even an apparently personal one, comes to life in poetry. The fullness of its significance touches others, bringing a lifting up of the spirit. Thanks for sharing.
