what once was terrifying
alive with jealousy and spite

over time has become quite shabby
just a ghost of a memory

it comes of its own accord

This is really good. I truly enjoyed it.
thank you! ♥ i appreciate your visit and kind comment!
Wow the poem and the pic and the song! Wow to “Happiness” and Wow especially to “It comes of its own accord.” I Love when the jealousy and spite peels away from the things that once terrified me so that ghosts can be pages I bookmark and visit or not.
you really are too kind, Susan! ♥ thank you so much! loved your prompt!
Isn’t it crazy how drastically feelings change with time!! Great poem, dani!
i don’t believe time heals all wounds, but it certainly does lessen the intensity. thank you for your visit and kind comment, Hannah! ♥
Some ghosts are welcome in my rear view and others are not!
Fun to ponder your words-so much insight!
Thanks Dani <3 it
thank you, Ella! ♥ i think we all have memories we wish we just go away. {smile}
It comes of its own accord… There are some facets of thought and feeling which seem to escape the control of the individual. You have expressed this so well in your poem, Dani…
thank you, Kerry! ♥ you have no idea how much i value your opinion!
That is quite a change to a ghost of a memory ~ Very nice repetition of the first and last lines ~
Good to see you Dani ~
thank you very much, Heaven! ♥ much appreciated. always nice to see you!
intersting…i like the repetition…and what you have sandwiched in the middle tells the story well…ultimately it does come as it will…perhaps not as often as before but neither the less powerful….
i don’t know which is more frustrating ~ having a memory we don’t particularly want surface or trying to recall something that remains out of reach. {smile} thank you for your visit, brian!!
isn’t it fascinating in a way how feelings change over time…what scared us once loses its power and other things maybe the other way round
that’s true! thank you so much for your visit, claudia! ♥
So true and scary that memories fade like this, yet perhaps it is for the best :)
or at least lose some of their intensity over time! thank you for your visit and comment! much appreciated.
Fireblossom? I hear she’s a troublemaker!
you got that right, chica! ♥
