Not Forgotten

Not Forgotten

A Poem by Tate Morgan
"

I remember the dark door where we hid from all the rain A dry respite from the storm safe in arms I'd felt no pain

"

 

I thought I had forgotten

what with spring came back to me

Words un-uttered thoughts we stirred

of the way things use to be

 

I remember the dark door

where we hid from all the rain

A dry respite from the storm

safe in arms I'd felt no pain

 

I went back to the small doorway

where happily our loves had played

My heart ached for what could have been

if behind that door we had stayed

 

With wild, spring, rain and thunder

something wondrous comes this way

Your eyes had said more that night

than your lips could ever say

Author's Note

Tate Morgan
Sometimes the thoughts of the mind take me back to times that seem like yesterday. However the day has set on those times and the new day risen on better ones.
This is a poem set to a 7 syllable count in the meter. It has a simple A.B.C.B. rhyme scheme. The 2nd line of each quatrain rhymes with the 4th.

"Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: It might have been." Yes, sometimes our thoughts do alight on pleasant memories of times past, and we ask ourselves, "What if?" Of course we can never be sure, and the mind cleaves toward pleasure, not pain. Memories are like New York City; a nice place to visit, but you really don't want to live there.

Yes of course...
Good one :). I liked the wordplay in this one.
"My heart ached for what could have been
if behind that door we had stayed" - Ya . we all have that "what if" moment that will haunt us forever.

I loved the last stanza.
"With wild, spring, rain, and thunder
something wondrous comes this way
Your eyes had said more that night
than your lips could ever say".
