When tomorrow
Seemed too faraway
A moment frozen
Words left to say
Tall it stands
The bitter rage
The battered love
A burning page.
Emotion with
A strangle hold
Reflected sorrow
Years untold
That drifted
Upon each wave
A sentence which
Could not be saved.
Each scrap of paper
Like idle lies
Formed tears
In weary eyes
The moment now
Lost to time
A closing curtain
Thought divine.

This poem could have many interpretations but the first that came to my mind was something written that left a burning impression, whether misinterpreted or whether the message was meant it burned. Nicely written

I looked at the endless list of poets who ended up committing suicide - because just once they forgot to burn their words and believed them...Let's be careful and keep lying !
thats true my friend, thanks and a much appreciated read
Wow, Norman...this is heavy and deeply reflective. The sense of old pain finally being brought to an end gives the whole piece a real finality. Thereβs sorrow in it, but also release. Beautifully done, my friend. πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

But the words will aways live on Norman.
