The Past

when i look at all the old photos
you've kept years before we hitched

and said "I do;"  years before we
decided to make a committment, before

rolling out the white satin runner, I feel
as though you can't let go and it seems

unbelievable on your part and ridiculous
on mine.  Yet, my first compulsion

is to tear every photo and throw away
remnants of your past, to shake you

down while wondering what's in you?
what's your motive?  What were you thinking

upon your introverted decision?  isn't our life
a reflection of better things, but then,

the gentler side kicks in, invading my thoughts
whispering quiet reminders to forget your past

for that's just what it is. . .
                                     the past.

I write simply for enjoyment and if I can touch another reader's heart,
the happier I'll be.  I write about things that generally affect life...rage,
laughter, love, nature, passion, despair, expressing the ups and downs,
the joys and what-not's of whatever comes to mind at that moment
in time; that instantaneous feeling to pick up the pen and write,
whatever the mood, mode or utterance.

As past owner/editor of Celebrated Thoughts, I enjoyed very much,
reading, posting and meeting many talented and gifted writers from
around the world and back.
