COSMOS
I move you
to the hidden corners
of my thoughts
In the archive
of my dark soul
trying to hide you
between yellowed books
in which I daily muse
my soul
moving back and forth
to the tired body
of a crucified cosmos
the endless quest
trying to avoid
or is it an illusion
your picture not fading
in vain, I remain
endless remember

smiles. nicely written amanda…i like the flow and the offset rhythm of the last line gives it emphasis…some memories we would rather tuck away but they rear their heads regularly painting all we see…

August 3, 2010 at 12:59 pm
Your poem is beautifully expressed and very familiar – it’s in the night I can’t avoid memories, words,… regrets. Sleeplessness too. 😉 But I can’t really complain, some of my most inspired writing has come to me then – or the germ of it has.
trying to hide you
between yellowed books
in which I daily muse
Oh yeah…
August 3, 2010 at 1:16 pm
Thanks, I am glad you liked it…and so very true, I write at my best early inthe morning too…so happy to see you here my friend. Have a wonderful week x
August 3, 2010 at 1:18 pm
Beautiful….the more you try to put aside a memory, the more it haunts you.
I like the dark mysterious sound of this poem.
You too have a great week 🙂
August 3, 2010 at 1:45 pm
Good layering of emotions, very well captured!

So. Nicely worded… “endless remember” sometimes some people, some thoughts, some incidences never cross the corners of heart… Like it!
August 4, 2010 at 7:15 am
Thanks Surbi, it’s wonderful to have you visit…I appreciate your comment so very much. Have a fabulous day xx

I’d say I was awake with you, but we are living on different days…but I know how thoughts can keep us awake when what we really need is some good sleep… here’s to sweet dreams for both of us and any others who have been awake in the wee hours! I love the image, the poem, and the song… Happy Day to you! Today is my birthday, I am being celebrated. Heartspell
August 4, 2010 at 7:27 am
And my heart is with you gorgeous girl…nothing like a birthday!! My heart sings with you…always!!! oxoxox
August 4, 2010 at 4:20 am
Amanda, sharp-edged poem about viseral reminders that do not fade. Quite like the lines: in the archive/of my dark soul and then the suggestion of time as ‘yellowed pages’. Written with such care of spare detail. Thanks for post.
August 4, 2010 at 7:28 am
Thanks so much happyflower, I am thrilled you liked the poem and even more happy to see you here. Hope you have a happy day and I’ll be visiting you often too:) Hugs x

August 4, 2010 at 7:29 am
Know for sure that I will do the same…I am an ex SA living here in Australia now…en ek is mal oor die naam Stilekke!!!!!!! Lekker dag vir jou…(of lekker slaap) and keep writing…even at 3am!!! Hugs xxx
