I haven't written in quite some time, but I felt like writing recently and this was on of the many outcomes. C&C is welcome!



Do you remember when-

Our smiles were traced by silly things,
Like Sticky note drawings and Paperclip rings?

Before we ever made these promises so sincere,
We made simple tokens to which we could adhere.
Basic little trinkets, forged from the heart
That proved to be our love's solid start.

So if we could just retrace our steps this time,
I'd bring with me this simple little rhyme
To let you know that no matter how we far go
That our love could be the one to forever show

As a beacon in the night to those in despair
That love can over come any kink or snare.
Time is all it takes and a little bit of trust
For love to wash away the scars and aging rust.

So if you'd just close your eyes and trust in me
We could reforge a love out of simplicity.
We could reseize our heartstrings
With Sticky note drawings and Paperclip rings.

If you'd just believe in me again-

We could face whatever tomorrow brings
And leave this world on luminous wings,
Believing in a time filled with simpler things
Like Sticky note drawings and Paperclip rings.

I'll try. Not sure how much I'll post considering it took a bitter life change to start writing again. But thanks! :)

Haha, thanks. Aside from the closing stanza, that was my favorite part as well.

I love that line. I think it's really fantastic. The entire piece was phenomenal in my opinion. You've done a great job of portraying your emotion and, well, a piece of you in the writing, and I think the flow and cadence of the poem was really well done. I can't wait to hear more!

Thanks, a lot. I've been trying to put my emotions into proper words since the break up and it seems they're finally coming about. But I kinda wanna work on poems that aren't about love next. x) Play more with imagery than emotion.
