MEMORIES

MEMORIES

 

It’s that time of year again,
when your bones begin to ache.
A new born baby smiles ,
bringing untold delights .
While a long forgotten scent ,
wafting on the breeze.
Can make your chest grow tight.
Sometimes for no known reason ,
tears begin to well .
At night,
  You close your eyes to sleep.
Just to re-enter hell .

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Every body experiences this.
It's how you call tell you've just watched a good film.
It brings a lump to your throat/or makes you cry.

Ah, words for that time of year when memories cry out loud. Some things continue to haunt, and terrible trauma and losses will do it. Well written.

You have a lot of pain in this poem. It is well written, I like it, but I wish you peace. May the Lord bless you.
