Nostalgia

Amel M. Jassim

Nostalgia:
Was it the time or was it the place? 
Was it the soul or was it the face? 
That gave us things we cannot replace 
Feeling like a dream of grace 
A situation that would solace 
Or nostalgia would enjoyment erase 
Or creativity would it deface 
Let us past and present enlace 
And give reality more space
❁❁❁

Expectancy:
I am wondering 
A fact is it or an illusion? 
Puts me in a state of confusion
To where I am meandering 
Would it be a better step 
To overcome the fears? 
And stop the tears?
To regret the flap? 
It is what it is
To draw without eraser 
And avoid being trespasser 
I will win the best of it
❁❁❁

I know: 
You can easily forget 
You have nothing to regret 
Like a haunting of leveret 
Always tormenting your target 
Do you care about any spirit 
A legacy you must inherit 
Like a place you would once visit 
Loving makes beloveds dispirit
