I close my eyes
My heart sending out a silent prayer
Let these memories stay with me
At least these memories of today
I always tend to forget, I know
Important things, precious times
But just this once I want to
Never forget, always remember
How much fun it was
How bitterly I cried or freely I laughed
Remember how much I learned
And how much I hold these feelings precious to my heart
So even to forget and being forgotten
Is my fate inevitable
Let me just remember these times
With just these memories I will be fine
I close my eyes
My heart sending out a silent prayer
Won’t you give even this to me
O great fate?
Wonderful
Thank you! ^^
Amazing! I love how this poem can be about the marathon and life in general. “How bitterly I cried or freely I laughed” rings true.
I connected with this one.
Beautiful 😍😍
Bhasha, I love the whole theme of this poem around memories, “precious moments,” and longing to keep them in your heart and not forget them. The flow of the poem is lovely and so are the words you chose to express the hope/desire to keep even “just these memories.” Really well done!
Thank you \(^_^)/
AGREED. Love that line!!!!!
so expressive.
Thank you for reading! ^_^
I definitely feel this poem. Every line, every sentiment shared was so powerful. I really enjoyed and love this 😊 I absolutely love your line: “I always tend to forget.” It’s so simple, but its simplicity is what gives it its power. Love it. It especially plays ironically on the title. Great poem all around! Blessings <3
Great analogy of the poetry marathon or live in general. Gret job!
Wow, you have saved the best for the last
