Everything That Will Not Change Poem by Amberlee Carter
Everything That Will Not Change
I want to remember the world this way:
The light, steadfast on the windowsill,
a breathless sky and the autumn as beautiful
as it is bitter.
The way it was just yesterday
when you held me against your chest, against
a backdropp of sunset: so many colors
evolving into darkness- rearranging themselves
into the first evening shadows.
I want to sleep with the memory of you
still fresh inside of my head, and the scent
of your kisses still clinging to my lips.
Your eyes: cathartic pools I wish I could dive into,
to drown myself in their prismatic vision.
How does it feel to see the world, to see life
through a third eye?
I wish I could see beyond my sorrow and live
beyond my darkness- then I’d see myself
not entirely unraveled, but tearing at the seams
to become something more, something other than
the girl with a big smile to sacrifice to the world,
who will always be just a little bit sad.
stunning work Amberlee.. Emotional and beautiful images Well done! HBH
a hurt heart bangs away at the soul but as always something different happens when the poem reaches in and pulls the true self into joy or close to it a wonderful poem
Amberlee, your work never fails to stun and sadden me - but when I say sadden I mean it in the best possible poetic way. The way you describe human emotion in your poems is rare, very rare indeed. It is inspirational reading. All the best, Seán.
I disagree with Mr. Hassler. I think the line he cited as depth and character. Once again, a fine poem!
I liked your poem alot. It reminded me somewhat of what I write about.
this is outstanding, Amberlee. especially the first few stanzas. very similar to anybody's fond memories. just a suggestion, you could omit the line 'How does it feel to see the world, to see life through a third eye? ' and still keep the momentum going flawlessly. well done! Jake
A little bit sad, but redeemed by poetic beauty! Thanks again for your thoughtful work!

A wonderful piece Amberlee and surprising also, as it is a break from your previous themes. This is looking into emotions, something that has been done over and over, but you do it well, it is almost as if I were reading a different writer (That is not to say that your other work has no value) . You have certainly made an impact since you arrived, but this piece suggests that you will be making an impact for reasons other than controversy. Oh, and I dont think that there is one spelling mistake. laffin' Denis Joe
