"Photo"
  by iva


The year
was 2009
Women were men
and
men wore pink
He was a
picture taker
she was
a picture
that couldnt be
captured
Still moments lke
freeze
like memories
half remembered
like pause
like
hold on for a minute
like love
in the blink of an eye
in the click of a camera
Outline
the frame
red gold and green
a special kind of wood
to last
even though it didnt
and in that frame
was the picture
never taken
absrtact if anything at all
See love upon the wall
hanging
hooked
cobwebs and dust
still there to be looked at
like
freeze
like
memories half remembered
like
pause
like
hold on for a minute
like
gone
in the blink of an eye
in the click of a camera too

I enjoyed this whole thing, but my favorite part was: She was a picture that couldn't be captured. You took me to a place of abstract. Making me want to write.

caught by the \'women were men/men wore pink\' line. Man...damn it if I am not guilty from wearing the pants all too much, but yes...I look at that line and definitely see it too. The rhythm of this piece was erratic...the spacing placing emphasis within the complete thought...had a nostalgic feel to it. Really made me pause and remember.

I love this poem...I feel it sooo deep and see it too, all like an antique photo...it shouldn\'t be that way I say, but of course it is...and the sages say, Life is perfectly what it should be...who am I to argue, even with a photo?

Like PJ, my mind went so many different places with this. Memories half remembered...hmm..interesting.
