A Tossed Love Potion

I remember the pain

of that day;

so today,

I’ll capture that

piece of my heart

and place it in

a glass jar.

Bonjour!

Plus comme bon voyage...

Here on the shore,

I toss the memories

into the sea,

so that they’ll

never be

dealt, felt, or smelt

ever again…

Just one with

the wicked ocean.

I didn't know you know French!!! Ah, you and I are alike in this, I usually gather memories in boxes and gently set them free into the sea (literally!). Though probably all in my head, I feel a heavy weight lift off my shoulders. A new beginning commences. Adieu et bon voyage indeed to yesterdays!

Just a tad bit here and there.
That is so awesome! I have only done that once, but there are times where I write things that I want to let go into the abyss; in which, I feel no one else should read or know - not even myself, so I burn them.
Most days I feel like do that to all my works, but then I think twice about it and post them on here now.
Thank you so much Nadia!

oh how we wish it was that easy, to be able to shove it all in glass jar, all the heartache, pain negativity and seal it away!
Awesome imagery you create with this write Bestie....love it! :)

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you Bestie!

~I would imagine people with addictions would love to do the same thing. This is very creative.~

[sinNsincerity]

I would second that.
Thank you for reading!

I love the image of him tossing the heartbreak into the ocean. Great poem. I would have liked to hear more about the specifics of the pain and anguish--what they felt like. Thanks for sharing.

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you for reading and I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

If only some memories could be disposed of in this way I would undoubtedly run out of jars. A very visceral and original concept, with imagery that had me standing on the shore next to you. VERY well done! take care...dan

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you Dan, I really appreciate that.
To me, the poems are the jars...

[Jamestown]

Well penned brother, clear message and imagery to match!
Keep keeping on:) Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

[sinNsincerity]

Always! Thank you man!

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Yup. Throwing out the pain left after a broken relationship. Nicely written :)

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you for reading and for thinking so!

[Dani The Unreviewed]

No problem :) so i've got the meaning right?

[sinNsincerity]

Yes you did, but I would really like to hear what it means to you...

[Dani The Unreviewed]

What it means to me... Well, in this write i've seen what i will do. As a matter of fact, after a relationship is broken, for anyone...well they have to do the same. As for me... until i get to that point where i can just throw it all out... Its a bloody long journey. It also means that you have traveled a similar journey...atleast that reflects on the write.

[A. Fiorillo]

Ooooh I like this. It touches the painful experiences of my own heart...and, release..
thank you. :) A

[sinNsincerity]

I'm glad it could do so!
Thank you so much for reading, I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Greenpeace will not be happy with you for polluting the oceans with such toxic waste...lol.
Seriously though sloughing off old memories of hurt is a healthy action. As long as those waves don't bring them back to your shores all is good.
Although this write is relatively short, it sparks the imagination of the reader. I sat wondering wheather I would metaphorically toss them or write it all out and do the hole bottle thing. Not PC I know, but totally satisfying.

[sinNsincerity]

It's okay the jar is biodegradable and made from coral lol
for me this was metaphorical, but that would actually be kinda sweet to really do one day...
Thank you Jan!

[JayceeC]

Hey can't RR from phone but tell me what you think of my new one? Ending too much?

[sinNsincerity]

Sure, what's it called?
I have so many RR stacked up on me right now... every time I get it down to a decent number it builds back up lol

[Confuser]

Sin in Sincerity: I love it!!! How creative you are....the visual is so impactful and it made me smile, thinking, aww, that's what we need. All those broken hearts; what a blissful dream, how easy life would be. Great writing. Thank you so much. Dale

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you so much Dale, I am glad you enjoyed it!

[Confuser]

My pleasure, it's very good.

Throwing away your negativity into a beautiful sea
that does do the act of soul cleansing
