Never going home again

NEVER GOING HOME AGAIN
I've finally got here, IÂ’ve come so far
to arrive at a mid-station, a new place
IÂ’ve never been before, and now I leave
With homesick feelings of fine fairer days.
To see the road stretched far and away,
winding where it goes, it is never straight,
I wonder where itÂ’ll lead, where itÂ’ll stray;
the urge to turn tail and run back is great.
But I am never going home again,
thereÂ’s no ticket for going back in time.
Past cravings are for ghosts left back home,
I'll bear the pain of leaving old things behind.
Let the past slip into a thought preserved
in a frozen mind frame where it deserves. -

i see you are trying your hand on a sonnet.
and a good one too.
very philosophical .
like these lines:
"Past cravings are for ghosts left back home,
I'll bear the pain of leaving old things behind."
sometimes letting go is hard to do.

Thanks. I wrote this on one of my down days some years ago (or so it might seem).

as much as i wanna tail back to familar grds.. its no longer an option opened up to mi.. -
relates to my feelings too.
liz, any plans to send to some on-line journal? -
It was sent to 2nd Rule and rejected.
No, I have no plans to send this anywhere, nor do I have any plans to change it. So it remains as it is, written when I felt it. Not good enough for literary magazines, but just a piece written from me.

perhaps "Never Going Back Again" theme .......
sounds more appropriate
-
More appropriate if speaking generally, but that's not what I mean. I really do not want to go home, as in going back to a place-situation one was in. If you had a 'home' like mine, you will not want to go back to it either.

i still think it is a good piece.Originally posted by Bluesky_Liz:It was sent to 2nd Rule and rejected.

yah, don't change it, it reflects your mood at that time. -

DonÂ’t send this poem to any literary magazine.
Not that it is not good enough but in my opinion slightly too personal to be published. It is a great poem to be shared among your friends. It is a great poem to be posted in DPS (S).
Thanks for the read my friend. You know you are getting better. -
Well it was something I wrote, prior to discovering pffa, so no, it's not going to be sent out again. Not like this anyway
>>Not that it is not good enough
No need to cushion lah. It is NOT good enough period. -
i still think it's really quite good.
it's about emotions. -
