Penning emotions,
In blue black strides
When confusion surrounds the eye
Storms engulfing
With waves of curiosity
Sandstorm of nervousness
A windfall of anxiety
The sudden apocalypse
The divination of weather forecast
Revealing the cherished self
A soul simply asks," who looks in the past?"
But the past
Like a chapter of history
Has its own mystery
Finding the real you
You, who played with fire
Bloomed in a furnace
In wrath of flames
Not to brittle
But ever last with fame
Look back
You realise
You were curious
A voracious reader
A bubbly singer
A joyful dancer
Maybe a writer
Or a cheerful leader
Maybe a follower of Guns and Roses?
The past isn't that bad?

True that one's past will meld with one's character and produce the 'you' of today. I have flashbacks of my foot in mouth moments which to this day make me cringe but the positive, as you suggest, reigns supreme.... for me anyway.
I feel that most of us who have become hooked on self expression through our poetry are in constant contact with our positive drive and for us, the future hold a wholesomeness to look forward to when we may be able to look back at this very day as a marker point in our self assessment/judgement.
We might have faced many difficulties in our past
Maybe those moments won’t be worth to remember again
But I agree, in that past , however it difficult it was….we chose to fought and thus survive today
Our emotions pen the poetry
I guess by writing positive, I can spread positive vibes around
Thanks dear dusk for such a beautiful recount you shared with me
And I don’t think you should hold cringe, your a warrior dear dusk
this is indeed charming & clever too methinks .. you just can't beat a bit of reflection to make things appear so much more cleaner & clearer .. unfortunately, too many people fail to even consider the many positives that can come from it ........ yes there is a lesson hidden here behind the obvious ..... very nicely poemed indeed ....... Neville
Upon the valleys of present
Failed to see a revive
So borrowed a bout of hills of past
In order to spring back on time
I truly agree dear Neville, it’s hard to see the positivity whether it’s past or present
But I guess I am trying my best to widen the approach
Thanks a lot dear Neville, for always praising me and encouraging me
Okay can we just talk about the line: "Bloomed in a furnace." Because I'm not just going to overlook it as if it weren't a result of a genius mind. I mean WOW. Not only does it visually evoke an image onto the reader, like a blossoming rose in a stifling furnace. But it holds so much power when taking into consideration its connotative meanings. Like I personally think that that line implies an upbringing from a soft and sensitive person who was surrounded, and influenced, by chaotic figures in life. But also the evolution of this speaker (despite their ring of bad influence) into something "not too brittle." Once again bouncing back to that furnace analogy, which one could conclude that if something is left in a furnace for too long it will eventually disintegrate, really ties in the idea that the past doesn't have the final say over your life. So although this poem could be interpreted as a fun nostalgic moment of recollection, I feel like the deeper meaning is that the past doesn't define you. Wow, powerful. ✨💖
What a beautiful connotation you held to my poetic lines
Upon the crown of gold
Your deciphering was like jewels shining high
Indeed the past doesn’t define us
It is a mix of recollection of events
But it sure in a way makes us what we are
The difficulties we faced in past, shapes us
Makes us stronger to beat the obstacles today
You fought
You survived
So you can fight and strive today as well
But your interpretation was very beautiful and thoughtful
Thanks a lot dear Rocky for a lovely reply
Great use of spaces, it adds a weird sort of tension to reading, and your lines, as already mentioned by most, are really good. I definitely want to see more of this.
Thank you so much dear reader
I am glad I could connect
I will try my best to write more and more
Words that can resonate and ease
I wish to spread positivity

No the past is not that bad. Many wonderful memories too. And learning not to repeat mistakes made in the past is a great step forward. Your poem is really excellent.
Thank you so much dear Rozina.
Yes very essential as you spoke, not to repeat those mistakes again….

Dear Spiller ,

It’s truly alright dear Vamsi
I feel so happy to read from you
In ends where we miss our meets, we recount the meetings we missed
Remind the pleasures we missed
So do you, so do I
And that’s how yonder the tree blooms every day and night
