Why is it when things seem
so clear
then something
(someone)
comes around
muddying the water
the clear blue water of goodness
of stability
making the future
so...
unatainable
so...
uncertain?
And why
why
WHY
is it
that when you become so secure
in your relationship
(after problems are finally solved)
that old flames come back to burn
yet another imprint
on your heart?
Well, emotionalism and lack of understanding is the real culprit. One ought to peep into essence of a person rather than just the personality. In any case, the poem expresses the experience of what is in the wake of repeated experience of what is. Nice piece. Easy to identify with.
