It might be the whiskey
Or it might be the mood
Here you come dancing
Across my mind's stage
Bringing back those complications
I still don't understand
Life was pretty simple
Until you drew me in
The abstract tones
Of your soul
Then turned me inside out
I still don't understand
It was probably me
Or maybe not
Time says
I will never know for sure
Those abstract tones
Left a mark
I carry to this day
It's so hard to follow when the abstract comes up... and a painful memory where cause and causality blur...
ReplyDeleteOh to bring back the simple life and leave the abstract behind....
ReplyDeleteThose memories can run pretty deep, can't they? Well said.
ReplyDeleteIt's Both : )(

Some people dance in and dance out. Some I can't follow.
ReplyDeleteAh, reflecting on those former relationships and wondering what might have been....not always easy!
ReplyDeleteVery nicely put together - a cool retrospective with just a touch of blistering. We women often appear in abstract tones only because of our different wavelengths
ReplyDeletevery true...
DeleteGood to have memories like those. Needing reflection. Thanks for dropping by my Sunday Standard today Robert
ReplyDeletemuch love...
Now and again my first love dances across my mind, stirring memories and wondering's...
ReplyDeleteI agree with TTT, we think differently...

Sometimes, it is the mood that sets the mind to wandering. Or perhaps it is a song that sets the heart to dancing.
ReplyDeleteLove it!!! You had me at:

Been there - done that - bought the T-shirt. Well, haven't we all? ~ Smiles -
A fantastic - truly relatable - piece of writing!
I know that looking back and wondering..........as ZQ says, it is likely both...........
ReplyDeleteI am sure we all store those little memories somewhere of the liaisons which came to nothing but still nudge us in the ribs now and then but keep from our partner.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautifully emotive. In life we gather much experience and wisdom.. and sometimes learn that it was all worth it in the end 💖
ReplyDeleteabstract tones of your soul... love that.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, there are those who do that! You've captured the experience very well.
