I suck at interpreting poetry... maybe I'm not deep enough, or perhaps I'm too literal, or maybe just dense. However, I trust your words. They are always believable and so...here, I believe there is pain.
@ all thank you for your comments... Shannon you are very close...I am blunt with a lot of my poetry...a lot of it has very personal meaning and I guess I am not a patient poet even though I try to write in a general way I don't try to intentionally obfuscate so as to sound grandiose or deep. just me...
Imaginative thought. Perfect moment.
ReplyDeleteYessir, that's a poem.
ReplyDeletejust a few words, yet beautifully saying
ReplyDeleteso much.
nicely done!
love the image.
there's something so suggestively dark and mysterious about this...
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I have one called "And Still" too. There is something about those words.
ReplyDeleteThanks all!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the movie, and how alcohol robs so many of their best selves. Very evocative of loss and perhaps regret.
ReplyDeleteyou are a deep thinker, chris, and yet you convey your thoughts and experiences in such simple language.
ReplyDeleteand the word cloy! i'll find a way to use that somewhere !
memories. i used to think they existed in the past, but now i know better.
happy weekend mr wander

ReplyDeleteLove this: "Scent of denial
ReplyDeleteFragrant" and your final thought as well.

the scent of denial is a great opening line...and sadly the alcohol will rob...
ReplyDeleteGreat opening line...scent of denial...contrasting with wine and roses ~
