Sounds of Memory

by JHSEsq

I always have a cer­tain degree of admi­ra­tion for those who bravely put their cre­ative com­po­si­tions online. Often, what amazes me, is just how much cre­ativ­ity is out there. The Impres­sion­ist is cer­tainly a very emo­tive writer. Emo­tive, because you have to have had such sen­ti­ments, to con­vey them, even in a fic­tional set­ting. And this piece, was such a piece.

It IS a roman­tic piece, more roman­tic than the usual dreary fare, because it con­cerns the love of a man for a flawed woman, by most peo­ples eyes. But not for him. He is the strong sup­porter, he loves her so much, he can carry her too. A drug addict, preg­nant with another man’s child.

His char­ac­ter emerges too, he is shy, not a ladies man, he is mes­merised by her. We can see, behind the writ­ing, that the char­ac­ter por­trayed is the shy boy in the cor­ner. Yet he comes through with the heart of a real man.

But the piece men­tions these facts, only to dis­miss them, to focus on what is between them. We feel the con­nec­tion, their own per­sonal, pri­vate world of love and laugh­ter. We feel a rela­tion­ship beyond social judge­ment or stigma.

I don’t want to give too much away about this post, by quot­ing the end­ing, because I actu­ally want you to read the whole post, but if the last para­graph DOESN’T melt your heart, then ’tis a stony heart you have.

The Impres­sion­ist cre­ates a woman of the type any man would yearn tohold in his arms, and a hero wor­thy to hold her, and he does bytear­ing up the rules of what those images should be. The blog is Sounds of Mem­ory and the post from April 20, 2008 (Sorry, no short cut here.) is titled One Shot. A truly great com­po­si­tion, demand­ing atten­tion as The Ris­ing Blogger’s Post of the Day.
