things that securely hidden in the darkest depths of my heart leak out like poison.
I would wait a thousand lifetimes just to explain the unexplainable to my own reflection in the mirror of my mind.
I can still see him under the streetlight walking toward me and me pausing as if the watching world did not matter.
Memory like a movie replaying relentlessly.
Yearning to step into that scene and feel the passion again.
Memory turns to regret,
because there are things left undone,
unsaid.
And now the world has moved on and so have we.
All that remains are the promises that rot away like discarded poems in closed drawers.

I am a published poet and short story writer. I have been published in SNHU's the penmen review. https://penmenreview.com/author/jenny-andrews is the link where you can find my poetry and a short story. Currently, I am writing a collection of short stories, and a collection of poetry. I am trying my hand at writing a novel. Well, not a novel, actually. Make that two novels. My passion is writing. My inspiration is Franz Krafka because he managed to see the absurdity of life. Life is all about perspective and who is telling the story. We all see this life through the lens of our experiences. Literature should inspire us to think, to analyze, and to get lost in unfamiliar worlds in which we learn something new about this human existence. It is my hope that my writing challenges the reader to think, and to see a different perspective, as well as be entertained. My faith in Jesus strengthens me and gives me the courage to survive the twists and turns of this life. My faith influences a lot of my writing in that goodness always triumphs over evil, in that love conquers all. I hope you enjoy reading my blog.
