Moments become Memories

by N J Thornton   May 31, 2007


If happiness was a lifetime
and grievance not a breath,
would rainbows still be
rare and beautiful?

If time had slim reason
and cycles tuned to lines,
could limbs still stretch out
in comfort?

And if passion was everlasting
and security in the genes,
would a bouquet still be
a generous surprise?

Still, summers will turn to autumn
as sentiments begin to change

and as our moments
become memories,

I want you to know,
I'll miss you.

    You got me man. You got me hooked on this one. Wow. I wish I had written something like this. These were my exact thoughts. But I guess I lack the creative power. Amazing, I mean it.

    The images in this are beautiful, and the way you have worded this is pure poetry. This poem really stops and makes you think... and feel. I especially love the last two stanzas. A great poem indeed.

    Peace, Poetry & Power,

    Wow, I really liked it. I think your point was very powerfull. It's inspiring poems like that, that make mme want to write. The only thing I didn't like, was how the stanzas were off. I knwo I have no room to talk though because most of mine are too. It w3asnt until I got on this site that I even knew about things like that. Some people can pull it off, and others can't. You did it well. This was one of those poems I did not want to end. lol keep it up. I was looking for somone to comment my poems, adn I remembered how honest you were, and such a good poet, so I chose you. lol you are in my favorites. well God bless

    This really captures a lot at once, and its a nice read (there are a lot of poems that have a ton in a few words that are like eating a stale swedish fish when you read them - you feel like you have to chew for an hour, and digest for longer! this was not like that at all!)
