orchidee said:

Good write N.
A rather gloomy-sounding title to a hymn is \'Buried in shadows of the night\'.

Bella Shepard said:

It\'s always the \"what could have been\'s\" that seem to plague us most, because we\'ll never know what an opportunity might have brought, so we lament what never was. We are strange creatures, are we not? Love your insight into human nature, along with your style and grace. Great write my dear Nev!

Inventive to make the title be your first stanza-like the ambivalence in this poem-

sorenbarrett said:

In these four lines you have encapsulated the frustration of a poet with the language he/she is working with. How many times in writting have I found the word in another language much more fitting for either meaning or rhyme and at time there exists no word that I know that expresses the feeling and no simple metaphor either.

As Yet Unfurnished
L. B. Mek said:

erm, so Hyung
sometimes I just read your title and then
lose control of my fingers for a bit
inspired
to try and scribble a little poetic reply
since I so relate with your words
thank you!
(replete, with our youthful zeal
lust inspiring us to love without handbrakes
we were young
all we chased was a place
for us to embrace
and cuddle, all night
since, climbing out
of the toilet window to evade capture
got old, after one rainy weekend
so now
we trace Time, in a finger caress
with that ease of mind
yeah, it\'s a lot of money
when between us, we can barely
pay the rent
let alone the bills, but
the memories we made, in that
very first place, we both
got to call our own, even for just
a while, lasted us a lifetime
dear, first love..
and yes i still remember it all
like it was yesterday
wine n dining you on tuna sandwiches
and cheap strawberry wine
making your lips, taste
a little more sweet, with every sip
I remember it all
no regrets
just mementos I cherish, with pride
knowing how lucky I was
that it was you I got to share
those moments with)

Requiem For a Lost Cause
MendedFences27 said:

I think this is a desire to focus on the important things in life, closeness and \"time together.\"
It sounds by the title it is something not to be granted. Outside influence to force a separation? I enjoyed the ease of language in this poem. It sounded as though it was being softly spoken, almost mournfully. As always, a most enjoyable treat. - Phil A.

Requiem For a Lost Cause
Bella Shepard said:

You pull at the heart strings with this beautiful poem dear Nev. The simple pleasutes of coats touching but never close enough, the taste of a crisp red apple made even sweeter when shared, and the park bench where two can sit as one and just enjoy one anothers company. The longing for just one more encounter makes this so priceless my friend. I love it!,

Requiem For a Lost Cause
arqios said:

Brings to mind the red coats and the blue (?) the history of it is getting vaguer as the days go by. The \'very last autumn\' sounds a bit ominous.

The Mess They Leave Behind
Christina8 said:

The fact that she killed someone whether she was injured or not should send her straight to prison.....no compensation for that kind of dumbassery in America!
