It's good to have memories
memories of places
of gadgets and objects
for that matter, even that of cats and dogs
you can cherish them
dump them
recall n redump them
all at your own free will
But, none of these memories exist in isolation
They need a human touch to breathe life into them
you need people to spend great times at great places
please to laugh n cry; drink n dine...
it's the people that add meaning to the memory
And they add complexity too!
you can't dump them at will
They're subject to sensitivities n mood swings
you can't recall n redump them as u wish
Emotions could get hurt, hearts would get heavy
The pain's deep inside and more often invisible;
Distressed by this plilght
Good ol' memories would try in vain
to soothe the pain, bu to no avail
As time takes over
other people, other memories n other pains
follow suit
thus forming a vicious cycle in life's pursuit

on a more serious note, nice poem !
i miss the old days too..and memories are all i have..i miss the bowling moments we have had with friends...and those bowling bag and shoes that i no longer use
Nice Poem! Memoires are quite difficult to handle.. They can either make you happy for the things you've lived or make you sad by the things you do not have anymore or the ones you missed..
