Perhaps
the people
we once were
stalk our inner corridors
walking them like ghosts
the people
we once were
stalk our inner corridors
walking them like ghosts
holding on
to fragments of memory
and strains of music
that we
can no longer
hear
to fragments of memory
and strains of music
that we
can no longer
hear
and perhaps
the nuances and scents
of times past
permeate
hidden inner corners
awaiting
the subtle moments
that trigger recollections
of things long gone
things
that maybe
we would much rather
forget
.

...wow those lines and this piece are hauntingly beautiful.
i really enjoyed where you took this ... wonderful.
This poem was very, very beautiful. I loved the imagery you used and the way I couldn't read it without picturing everything in my mind. I absolutely loved "Perhaps the people we once were stalk our inner corridors walking them like ghosts." This was such a wonderfully written piece. Almost like music.
Well done! :]
this has done miracles for my mood! brilliant!

Beautiful
Beautifully done. We must be all that we once were - and all that we will be all at once..Jae
So much to think on in this beautiful poem...i love this one Susannah! :-)
Susannah, this is very thought-provoking, but also very eerie. I like where your mind went with this!
I love the idea of our past selves stalking our inner corridors - really cool poem!
So true.
other comments pretty well cover the bravos and hoorahs. All I can do is add mine. Nice work and more bravos and hoorahs from me.
Nice writing, Susannah. I do think there is truth -- that the people we once were ARE still somewhere inside us.
Thanks everyone for reading and for your comments, much appreciated.
Susannah :-)
