Past, a moment to look upon

spilleronsheet

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.

                  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.

                  • spilleronsheet

                    Thank you so much dear Rozina.
                    Yes very essential as you spoke, not to repeat those mistakes again….
