Words of Remembrance

Do you remember

We made a plan to learn

New words every day

And share them with each other

That plan didn’t last a week

But I am now learning every day

Writing it down

In that same notebook

I looked to the first page

Struck by the ‘positive’ words

Words that I don’t look for anymore

Since the negative captures me

I realize that I am void of insouciance

That my roseate view of the future is dimmed

I am not as amiable; at least, I think so

My world and life has become onerous

I am woebegone, wishing for that splendiferous time

Slogging onwards, wishing for my nirvana

Perturbed, I flog my own heart with regret

I am sere, wishing to be swept away by some sweven

Words of Remembrance

That is what my personal dictionary

Has become to me

For the idea started between me and you
