  Your poem captures the bittersweet nature of fleeting moments with such striking imagery. The idea of love and memory slipping away in the digital age, reduced to "static sighs" and "shattered pixels," feels so poignant. The line "What is a soul but a spark in the circuitry" is especially powerful, blending human emotion with technology in a way that's both thought-provoking and melancholic. Beautifully done. more »

  I can tell you the movie Blade Runner has been a favorite of mine since high school and the more I watch it including the new one with Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford, I have come to the conclusion that these are deeply relevant story to our time. It not only talks about the impermanence and fragility of life, but where artificial life and intelligence play their part in our world. The second Blade Runner movie actually comes full circle with someone completely unexpected. Without spoiling the ending, sometimes my poems are inspired by movies. I only know that this poem not only bears resemblance to my life right now, it carries with it a deeper relevance to a relationship I’m in. The theme of the movie bears a lot of impact on life. I had to think long and hard how it applies not only to life in general, but to a very special relationship I’m a part of. I can only hope and pray that direct communication and staying in touch means just as much to her as it does to me. Survival of our relationship depends on it. I would hate to think that moments including our relationship could be lost on account of little to no direct contact like tears in the rain. more »

  I haven’t seen the movie, but I think your poem is terrific. If ekphrastic poetry is inspired by paintings, what is poetry inspired by movies called? ;-)

    From what you have shared, it appears that you have a relationship that is important to you both. You did say you are engaged. Being cognizant of the importance of communication in a relationship is the first step. Continue to be mindful of this and I venture to guess your special relationship will grow stronger with the passage of time. ‘
    Moments lost in time like tears in the rain.’ is a beautiful line. more »
