Along the avenue of lost souls
We danced deliriously
Entwined in each other
Oblivious to everything else

Along the avenue…
Poetry
Autumn breezes
She lassos heartstrings
Floating on an Autumn breeze
He feels the soft tug

This is the why…
You can’t erase a feeling
It’s like lying to your soul
Everything you feel
is a product of the whole
The sum of our emotions
remains buried deep inside
Sometimes they all surface
to be a witness or a guide
Everything we hold onto
has a purpose to protect
We mustn’t overlook that
in our attempt to neglect
The will that gathers within
lives to set our spirits free
Provoking our potential
to be what we might be

Review of “I can’t remember you” by Adam Fenner
Many thanks to Adam Fenner, who writes poetry, short and full-length novels, and past and present poetry reviews on his blog. Adam decided to feature my poem today, and I am honored by his decision. I hope you’ll all go check out his page, which can be found here.
Conclusions
There are levels of love
pain flowing through each one
when you consider the depth
the intensity is overwhelming
I cry when I think of the ones
who left their scalding indentations
I smile with immense satisfaction
realizing I survived them all
I have grown with every storm
as tears watered and rejuvenated
rooted in newfound knowledge
reaching for an endless sky
And all the levels of love
make perfect sense to me now
I’ll be holding onto the ones
who understand these words
