Memories...

Moments of pure beauty,
Torture madly with you gone,
I badly wish to forget,
But sadly still hold on,
To ignore you is to feel empty,
Hollow and plain,
Like a few notes are missing
from the music that's playing,
When thoughts of you
intrude my brain,
It leaves me in
Indescribable pain,
Longing for something
I'll never see again...

These heartfelt poems are cutting me to the bone.
All of us have been there.
Not many can express it as well as you.

Pain is the feelings that no one wants to feel, but the truth is pain is the one reason why people being so wise and brave as they grow old.

But when thoughts of you
intrude my brain,
It leaves me in
Indescribable pain,

O my! I so know this feeling, only another who suffered the same pain, will know how it feels. Torture is how I describe it.

So sorry Tony, but this is how life is sometimes.

Sad but we do have to go through life in all its ups and downs.

DH most of us have been through the grinding stones of pain and came out crushed yet we have to leaven it with our tears and knead into the bread of hope to survive.
Reminds me of the lines of the famous Indian poet Sarojini Naidu...
Oh! fate betwixt the grinding stones of pain
though you have crushed my life like broken grain
yet I will leaven it with my tears and knead
the bread of hope
to oomfort and to feed
the myriad hearts for whom
my spirit bleeds......

But when thoughts of you
intrude my brain,
It leaves me in
Indescribable pain,
Longing for something
I'll never see again.. yes always the sadness lingers of not being able to see the one we loved again.
Sad but lovely poem.
