Arms Length Away

Nostalgic

My teenage days are just an arm length away
I'm 20 now, and I know in the past I cannot stay
Faded dreams and vibrant memories are all thats remains
Of a long forgotten time, like the horn of a distant train
Still images like a slide show in my mind
Metal and memories left behind
Another time, looking at another face
I find myself in the middle of a forgotten place
Burnt down for a mini mall
I can still feel the wind of Fall
And the smell of orange blossoms
Bad smell to some, to me it's awesome
Everything else has been replaced
Buy my memory will not erase
Pictures fade, and video corrupts
But my memory will never erupt
Tapes were still a popular item
If you had a beef with someone, you'd just fight 'em
No guns were involved
Fists were an end to a cause
Growing up meant driving a car
Not getting drunk in a bar
The girls were as rowdy as the boys
ATV's took over childish toys
The world stood still for a moment in time
At least, its stuck on a moment in my mind

I have always loved Nostalgic poetry. I would say it is in my top favorites list. Your closing lines were the perfect summarization---
"The world stood still for a moment in time
At least, its stuck on a moment in my mind"
You are so very right...There are moments when time must have stood still because our minds rewind and review...
I am fascinated by the way you tell a story thru your poetry. Truly I am.
I don't think i've welcomed you to YPDC---so let me take a moment to say---Hello and welcome to YPDC. Your poetry enriches this site.
Keep writing Cowboy...
Kie :)

| This past week I've been in a nostalgic mood. I think it has alot to do with the song Photograph by Nickelback, for some reason I can't get that song out of my head |

Nice words-
Perfectly positioned to express what we all loose as time passes and the distant drums sound sending us into an unsure future-
Keep writting...
