Facing the light 1978 Dieter Schwertberger (DE ES)
I think too much
on what is gone,
and all the things
still to be done
but more and more
I dwell on when
the zeitgeist seemed
much simpler then.
Never mind the darker times,
when families caused
the greatest crimes,
and left like footprints
in the sand
the nightmares I can
hardly stand.
So soon gone
those energies,
and callow youthful reveries
that made me feel
so innocent,
with more in front
than what was spent.
And so on spins the
twisted thread
of what recycles
in my head,
where memories
in which I dwell
can play to heaven
and to hell.

Oh my dear Spike.
This was heart-wrenching, my friend. To live life without the memories of painful past moments ..
what a concept!! I found myself lost within your words, dear poet. It's all too eerily familiar. Perhaps,
it is our incessant need to understand the happenings in our past, that plagues us most and not
the memories themselves .. questions often arise when we seek closure, (and closure is not
forthcoming). I have many things I'd LOVE to say to certain "memories" but, I fear, shall never have
the opportunity. And as time continues on, those "incidents" demand less of an answer. The present
is where it's at, my friend. Dweller is a perfect title for this, S. And absolutely so!!
I feel ya~ ...I truly do.
~Breezy
(admiring your word usage .. zeitgeist ya got me with that one! :P) |

Well, man, I've looked forward to reading this one since you mentioned it.
A fine piece, indeed. The rhyme is impeccably handled, and the overall format suits it well. The kind of sense this evokes is powerful for me. And that piece of art is good - I think best as a small, almost thumbnail, image, too, as it doesn't overshadow the poem like a big huge image might.
Keep it up!
