because i forget
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
to tell this day
from any other day of love or rain
a wisdom just ahead
of things remembered

because i forget
sometimes i just want
to feel loved is to be
free to be truly one self

no more effort
no more fear or fake
no more talking to walls
heard and felt and let go

i can say this
because i am
just a name on a page
nothing more
because i forget

rhia, I prefer writing full of visual imagery. This one grabbed me because of its truth. And yes, my partner and I often achieve that trust, but so easily we FORGET to nurture it. ~Van

I relate to alot of your poetry, but this one has relly nailed me. You're wonderful. ~DeAtH

to tell this day
from any other day of love or rain,
a wisdom just ahead
of things remembered, like
a measured step on riverstones
should suffice. What grows
and lives out of that stride
should render thought's
currency of sweeping sand
and passing sight. Because
I forget.
