Making peace with the past

Making peace with the past

A Poem by Lauren Xena Campbell

 

   Phantoms of forbidden memories past

            Drift over the deserted plans of thought

   Cascading with abhorrent virtue

            Festers with in when torment surrounds you

 

Endless days to reminisce

A history freely forgotten

Returns the pain so unreal

And frames the deeds beyond repair

Capture the heart and spirit here

 

   Torture treats the unforgiving

            And the guilty with the same distance

   Gods of fury show their benevolence

            And receive the pity of self-esteem

Very interesting concept on dealing with the past like that. Also, the colors you've used for the fonts, excellent choices, seperate them at the first stanza, then blend together at the second, and seperate them again at the last one...

Anyway, it's all still good tho...

Hi Lauren, this worked fantastic - the waves as a color.. so I perceived. The description of negative thoughts from the past was just perfect. I enjoyed the complexity of this text! The ending also magnificent. :=) be well.

I liked best : "And frames the deeds beyond repair"

Deep and Intelligently written. I loved it.
Favorite Part:
"Endless days to reminisce
A history freely forgotten
Returns the pain so unreal
And frames the deeds beyond repair
Capture the heart and spirit here"

It speaks a lot with so little

Dreams are not made to be broken, but are created in the heart to write destiny! I've always loved making up stories and putting words down onto paper, despite the fact that I only really learnt to.. more..
