And two tunnels a metaphor for? Sorry Neville, much of what I find here (these pages) goes right over my head. But apparently lotsa poets here understand one another…so…

It\'s like an Isosceles triangle, it won\'t work unless all sides are equal. Clear the to-do list with an I-don\'t reply. The light can\'t be seen from the perspective employed, turn around and get out of that tunnel. Short quirky answers to the dilemma. A most intriguing poem. It appeared to me to be looking for an impossible answer. It always seems the more we do the more do\'s are born. The light at the end of the tunnel is a bus coming straight at you.
Well so much for tunnels, for today. Enjoyed your poem, made me think. \"Is the world just a series of tunnels?\" - Phil A.

That is a bind many get caught in and try as hard as I might could not believe that therapy is able to fix. But that’s just me.

You are more persistent than I, I surrendered years ago and find that going with the flow is more in line with the Tao. I love the first two lines. When I can\'t see the light I learn to enjoy the darkness. I think the hardest thing of all is to learn to forgive oneself. A poem with many hidden gems concealed in the lines

This can be so true Neville looking back through albums show what we did with others and very few of ourselves.

Misplaced priorities and a pretty cold heart. I have been there too. Nice work.

MendedFences27 said:

\"Full of complete strangers.\" Sometimes, the passage of time leaves one unrecognizable. The love exists in the keeping of the \"albums,\" cherished memories, no doubt. This poem points to the \"changing\" of lovers over time and how it changes their relationship. I like to think it grows deeper and more meaningful. A scene from the lives of older lovers. Very poignant. - Phil A.

sorenbarrett said:

Ahh the meaning here taken in so many ways. The mind wanders and ponders, is it a desire to to forget the past? Is it contentment with the present? What does it mean when one keeps no photos? The comparison of keeping them of others and not of you creates phantoms that shadow the present. There is a metaphor here as well photos are memories and those too if discarded mean dealing only with the present. A haunting poem of dreary existence frozen and locked in the now. We are what we have become with no way to return to what we were.

Pretty happy where I am right now...but don\'t want to go on for ever... though if infinity has to be tackled then there better be some pretty good provision for this somewhere.....

….‘longevity’; now there’s a word that never concerned me much, but there are quite a few people and things that make one want to live forever!

In the Beginning of Our Forever
sorenbarrett said:

I have been there. A great feeling, exhilarating. At such times I have often wondered how there can be a begining to infinity and that such love must have extended backward forever as well. Loved the poem it reopened some old feelings and thoughts
