Don't Think Twice

Dylan inspired title and such- for the "Beats of Heart and Soul" Group

 

Lyrics stirring up old memories

And I mean old

From years ago

I forget who the first one was

I certainly remember who the second was

and the third

There have been so many not worth thinking twice about

Though what I never really got was why I thought about them

so many more times than twice

 

It really was so telling

Never satisfied by age

Trying not to look back at precious time wasted

And though I have no regrets, I do wonder what would happen

If they would have come back in their time and tried to change my mind

Keep me around, keep me down

 

I don’t much remember the sound of my name

Living alone I do not hear it much

But that’s all right

I have not ever really been a believer much in empty words

Though ‘Fare Thee Well’ is my favorite Indigo Girl’s song

 

This time when your c**k is crowing, it may just be the memory of me

But I am long gone,

long long gone from your childish empty ways

All of you

Unfortunately I do think a lot more than twice

I guess that lyric was meant for you, you, and you

[Cece]

the rumblings of my memories
every time i hear a song
even now i hear my memories
with just the lyrics of your poem

with your poem there is music
that i hear and memories
of those who have no specific song
one love i know from one time

now lost in time this love
now in my memory cause
of thinking of those that can
only be remembered from song

[E. M. Murren]

Great conversational style, and wonderful flow from start to finish....we all remember more than once or twice and we all wonder what he's thinking when his c**k crows. There is a vast storehouse of visuals inside every male head (both heads:-)

[Dan Bullock]

I was going to say Don't Think Twice, It's All Right and then I noticed it in your bit-below-title...that's what dragged me and I do like the thought process. It's decisive and that is, indeed, one of the most important things about moving onto better things, which I think you have done! :)

Another wonderful piece the font was a bit hard to read but I think that's because I have been staring at paper for the past, well lost count, hours.

Good poem. It captured those feelings well. Great indigo girls song by the way.

[Cece]

i do really love your poem

[Mark Pearce]

A powerful work, even if a bit painful. Good finish too.

I would hope that you have collected a few wonderful rememberances over the years too. Something that still makes you smile.
