All Comments on 'Ago Again'

How indeed we look back, remember, feel...as though it is now, and not yesterday. The emotions so strong, so set within the stone of our being. A permanent reminder of what was...still is, though we cannot touch it again.

Very powerful, something that I think many if not most, can relate too.

Beautiful Vixxx Truly beautiful.

Many Feathers (aka) Your Man of Sand (Thesandman) *grin*

Vixxx this is an outstanding piece,

Looking back, remembering, wishing?

Really beautiful but not in a obvious

way, your wording is subtle yet powerful

at the same time, excellent work!

grasping morsels of this love from crumbs of time we find too rare

Clinging onto faith, the one strong thread that shows no fraying

Loved those lines!

Great Work,

Thanks.

Nostalgic longings and mournful rumaging through the ashes of times past, conjuring up memories. Sweet bitter pain.

I don't see how this didn't get an editors star,

this is one of the better poems this year, up there with medusa's chant. I dub this one of the top poems produced so far this year L~ great write~

penetrates throughout me in all aspects. and i have to say that this stanza is the penetrator upon me:

Desolation’s mate, I’m companion to oft time sorrow

Eternal sadness with little hope; overwhelmed by all despair

We’re each alone in barren solace with faintest chance for our tomorrow;

grasping morsels of this love from crumbs of time we find too rare

the element of darkness is what that is dripping in my mind. I am privy to dark elements. aside from that is has a compelling nature of need and desire. It's romantic and yet grappling with areas of the struggles inside.......nicely done......very smooth and the words seem to be meant for each other when reading it.......don

and wonderful the story line ..one can relate to such an impressive pen..one of the best I have read by you dear...lovely...*blue*

I disagree with some of the comments. I think this was a good idea but the execution was not up to your best work. For example there are 12 'ing verbs including 5 in the first stanza. That creates a rather passive feel which with more incisive verbs might be improved. Also the line breaks seemed a little laboured, maybe shorter single phrase lines might be worth considering. Then maybe it's just me

A sad and lovely poem. At least you didn't have to tell me what this one was about...

Ago Again is something I can relate to, and so beautifully written. The emotion evoked with every sentence makes my heart swell for times passed that I long for once again...if only one more time

Vixx, you make the reader feel these emotions and the longings you so eloquently convey...you have magnificent talent!

XO,

Beginning the verse I hear

Haunting yearning, desolation's companion--

Powerfully these thoughts spring unbidden.

And then I scan your third stanza

Seeing the power of your mind,

evoking, even anticipating, your feelings

You open your soul and share your all,

commanding attention and thought.

A darker vision here, of passion lying dormant

the joy of life's exhultation missing

with only hope's persistent heartbeat sustaining

for a future yet to come.

A deeply moving verse, talking of a love that's been put aside -- denied but not forgotten. The depth of the feelings are just bursting from you in this powerful writing. CP

deeply moving rendering ~ of love once known with hope of reclaiming.
