In Sanity

Contributed by Nazmythian on Wednesday, 29th December 2004 @ 02:57:45 PM in AEST
Topic: MiscPoems



~ ~

Sweeping through the corridors
of my mind
Dusting off the pictures there
she finds
Shattered remnants of
her memory
Tossed about and left
half-hazardly
Cleaning cobwebs from the
dark recesses
White washing the walls then
she addresses
Tapestries in tatters
on the floor
Pieces left behind
from times before
Salvaging all that
which can be saved
She boxes them away
for rainy days
Wond'rin how this mess
came to be made
She turns to view her handiwork
then fades
Back into the darkness
whence she came
Tending to the ever burning
flame


~ ~

( Post Script : I felt a need to clarify after the fact
I was attempting to capture the image of a memory, cleaning up the mess my conciousness made of it, as it came and visited ... then it returns to the place where memories reside ~ untill you call them up again ... Nazmythian )

I see a window in the sun
A dusted room that's clean
I see there all the work she's done
You reaching for caffeine.
*grins*
Lovely imagery. Good motivation for spring cleaning days. Cheers!

Great way to mentally clean a closet. I really like the flow and wording of this poem. I was intrigued by the last line articularly... "Tending to the ever burning flame. I'm thinking that is your inner flame of life

Super write, Naz

Wow Nazzy! You are too deep, man.
This was great as is all of your poetry. How is it that you
seem so able to read into my thoughts and put them down
in verse better than I ever could? God, how I love reading
your stuff!
Take a bow.

To be honest, I didn't really understand the poem. Was there any meaning behind it or is it just the way its put on paper? I still liked it though.

Well Nazzy, I don't quite know what to make of this. lol.
And I too wonder if there is meaning behind it. I think, knowing you, that there probably is. Could be wrong, though.

Anyway, Good write, I especially like this part:

"Sweeping through the corridors
of my mind
Dusting off the pictures there
she finds
Shattered remnants of
her memory
Tossed about and left
half-hazardly"

Don't ask why I love it so much...I am unsure, maybe it just speaks to me.

Great images.

Great write hun,
*hugs tons*

Yes, I can relate to that---especially with the postcript. Memories are so precious and at the same time so volatile. Sometimes they attack without warning. Other times they are peaceful, gentle, and serene. They can be as addictive as a drug if you lull in some of them too long. Well, you certainly do make me ramble. I think this is one of my favorites of yours.

What an imagination you have, cheri!! INCREDIBLE! Spring cleaning time. Yes, I might have to start myself; my closet is just about to bust! Your attempt to capture that image is flawless, douce Scott! An excellent theme and meaning! LOVE IT! Another piece of perfection to add to your endless supply! Thanks so much for sharing. All my love. Forever,

Votre cheri fleur *Stephy*

Geez, Nazzy - if you knew how many times I've been to this page, you'd probably tell me to forego the comment... for my consistent re-reading of this piece says much. I love this. Love this! I do so enjoy how you mind works --- and THIS... it's just fabulous. Poetically, intellectually, emotionally - all of it.

Funny... I have a feeling if my memory returned... he'd trash the place. Pity, too... as it's all I can do to keep it all neat and orderly. lol... yeh.

Wallowing in this... somewhere just below its surface,
SNM

Another example of the originality of your mind.
Very clever and very refreshing!!!!
To me the cleaning up is like trying to refresh the nmemory, recalling evry bit of it that you can...GREAT analogy!!
