where have they gone

a melody captures
recognition
a reflection
a moment
left in a dark glass

days have drifted
dust envelops and veils
the diary of my mind

conceals whole chapters
characters
events

memories muddied
fragments of tableaus
as broken colours
from fractured crystal

but somehow, I remember
those nights being a little brighter
days more blithe
and friendships more blest

where have they gone
those I have known

and forgotten

I wonder
do they remember
me?

About This Poem

Review Request Intensity: I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

Editing Stage: Editing - rough draft

About the Author

Region, Country: Western Australia, AUS

Favorite Poets: Favourite poets? So many, so varied. I like particular songs, not necessarily the singer... and the same goes for poetry. I can honestly say though, that Alfred Noyes' The Highwayman was what inspired my love of poetry - my mother began reading it to me when I was still a baby, and it became my favourite bedtime story

Very touching soliloquy where each word seems to be soaked in crystalline sentiments.
