With my pen, I can make you disappear.
Your name would be erased from all my stories.
Your face would be but a shadow – featureless and smudged.
Words once yours would be left to ripen and spoil on trees.
And your smile that once charmed me completely?
It would fade so fast, meticulously cleaned away
like mold on the grout, in between my kitchen tiles.
Mr. Clean would be so proud of me.
Your kisses would be tougher to eradicate.
Those lips which could claim mine with such precision
and vigor; leaving me whimpering and disheveled.
Yes, it would be difficult to forget those lips.

I read 1984 in high school, but I don’t remember it sounding anything like my poem. I’ll have to refresh my memory then. 😊

With enough ink, and enough scribbling — you can make many things disappear. Sure, sure — a black smudge may remain, but it beats looking at spoiled memories. Plus: Mr. Clean is very good at removing unwanted stains.
Do you still use a pen? Or do you usually type your work?

Hmm, I can tell you know much about scribbling away bad memories, Fly😊.
We’ve talked about this before, and I’m sad you don’t remember. I type and you write. I admire the discipline it takes to hand write your work. I’m way too impatient to go that route.

I remember! I’m just…double-checking! Yeah! That’s it!
I use a 0.5mm needle point pen — fountain pens are very annoying (based upon my limited experience using one).

So, is it the process of writing with a pen and paper that helps you write better or is it just seeing written words that spurs your imagination? Hmm, I hope my question makes sense. If not, just wing it if you can!

I start with a few concepts and then improvise the rest — typing gets in the way — because I’m too slow. Yeah! We did discuss this! Haha

What I enjoyed about this poem was the way you shared with the reader the nearly omnipotent power possessed with the almighty pen and the Achilles heal unrecognized by this writer as the emotions and intimate details of the past experience resurface. It is a lesson in power, self awareness and the illogical illuminating power found in deep emotions . Phenomenal!!!!
