Doug,
This sounds like a painter trying to remember a past love to paint
him/her. It also shows how strong memories can bring both
joy and pain.
Keep writing
Joan

Interesting poem. I loved the image you chose for your poem. It forces us to think about life and happiness. I really like the last line it give's the poem as a way to paint an image. Well done. Thank you for sharing. ~Brenda

Dear Victor,
Gee, this makes me think, something I hate and very rarely do. Thus, I might take issue with the phrase:

Cannot...
last
Nor, us

Only the past
lingers
ever present

Surely, we must last - at least long enough to think we might not. There, now I have a headache.
Regards
Reg

This poem, Scale Squared, is a hope that things won't change, and all we know and admire fall to dust. This phrase is sticking with me:
Images
of forlorn order
layer themselves
with dense entropy

Happy day.

I really enjoyed this lovely, melancholy poem. So many snippets of pictures evoked, packed with emotion. I've been away for awhile and glad to see you are still here, writing better than ever. Take care -

This sad poem has a happy ending, when you admit you have found your happy place, away from memories perhaps, or a way to express your feelings. Either way, a thinker's poem, so I like it very much.

I loves your comment in the author section! I agree, you're the author.... you get the power of the vocabulary.

Your last stanza was so picturesque! I saw the artist (just as you were as a wordsmith)_ claiming and creating his own world.

I enjoyed reading this poem very much. I wonder which came first the artwork or the poem, they seem to go together. I love when I have to ponder on a poem. Thank you for sharing. God bless

Hello Victor. I enjoyed this expression. It seems to follow a pattern or train of thought brought out in this particular painting or maybe the painting was about the thought. Personally I believe it's hard to accept things that you simply don't want to happen for whatever reason, but time and life keep marching on and sometimes it feels like it isn't easy to hang on to the progression. Your writing is so abstract it borders on brilliant quite often. Just hang in there ... you'll make what you want to happen - happen. xoxo Kiwi

Love the meanderings of the mind through a room's empty echos, Victor -- memories may be fixed, but they seems to change form with the 'reminisces', don't they? :) Thanx so much for sharing this evening! ;) Yvette
