I often wander the corridors of forgotten times,
Reliving the experiences that gave my heart joy,
A brimming heart full of the possibility of love,
And random moments I got to enjoy.
😘
I whisper through the quietude of melancholy,
As I remember the sensation of a passionate kiss,
A word breezily thrown my way for my ears alone,
And the enormity of a loss that painfully persist.
😘
The years swallowed around the lump in my throat,
A reminder of the intensity of a glorious passion,
A forgotten tingle of sensitive fingertips,
A shoulder offered in a moment of compassion.
😘
A sensation of confidentiality accessed on the airwaves,
A distance so vast as to mask the opportunity,
Questing for a thirst of the forgotten past,
When love was held within two sets of hands in unity.
😘
A screenplay rolls with snippets from the vault,
Mingling with the archival joy of timeless thought,
Reliving the preciousness of a divine connection,
Disintegrating when destruction once again fraught.
😘
Tender moments locked deeply within the chambers of my heart,
Revisited only on the randomness of whimsical emotions,
When love’s sustainability was forever questioned,
And belief was favoured over the simplest devotions.
😘
The strength of a desire so pure as to be righteous,
Eclipsing the hardened heart with its inflexibility,
Melting the steel chains within the keeping of a prisoner,
Carrying through the abyss in a chorus of adaptability.
😘
I traverse the archived files of love, passion and joy,
Reliving the feelings in the comfort of my heart,
Is there a possibility of rekindled emotions?
The taking up of the flame allowing a loving heart to restart?

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

LEADERSHIP EDGE
Leadership is a unique blend of innate talent and acquired skills. Born leaders are naturally gifted with leadership qualities, which they hone through self-observation, self-teaching, and experience. On the other hand, trained leaders are mentored and guided by experienced leaders or mentors. While some born leaders may also benefit from mentorship, their innate leadership characteristics set them apart. The key difference between born and trained leaders lies in their purpose. Born leaders are driven by an inherent sense of purpose, which fuels their passion and vision. Trained leaders, while skilled and knowledgeable, may lack this innate drive. Ultimately, the purpose of leadership remains the same - to inspire and drive positive change. Whether you're a born leader or a trained one, your goal is to motivate your team to achieve greatness. Effective leadership is about harnessing your unique strengths and skills to make a meaningful impact.

How do we restart in our lives? Do we explore different areas of the world, change our profession, retire from our job? It is a question that only you can answer. Nice read.

Well I think there is always a possibility for the heart to restart but do we want it to, is the real question. Your poem was very deep and thought provoking! I loved it my friend!

"Misty water-color memories of the way we were." Breaking our hearts & making us ache all over again. We know we love by the way we grieve who & what have been lost.
