Your RemembranceYour Remembrance
A time, just a time, lived to you in his heart, passed age, this love
Age, nothing remained, an empty marble tablet in a cemetery park
Your path walk is late, didn’t you see? Worn, unreadable letters
On the stone, all the noble sentences were addressed to you, only
But, but someone is waiting for you. In...

Your MemoryYour Memory
An ominous wind blows over me, a long time ago
From the past, nice face, blonde hair, a phenomenon
Strange temptation, mysterious curse of love
Why are you following? Why? A decaying corpse
A dead body is nothing to you. The soul isn’t yours
You are late, and I have passed away. Lost time
Lost time. The time is lost....

My Heart Erupts
Leather bound thoughts, tied on pages,
whispering to me of each day's beginnings
This sheet peels heart's despair
Creeping on bondage of words not spoken
that in the light, a yearning arises
Spilling yarns knitted but unraveled-
Time's remembrances awaken and heave
Soaking memories on the earmarks of carbon
To learn that passages with bleeding lines
Never open to rage...

On Second Thought
Present cannot set advantage
Over past, that seems like gone
Though it’s always on the verge
Of the memories you prone
To belong to, while intending
To break free from shades of time
Partly loosing understanding
Doesn’t look at all sublime
But it goes like Latin dictum
Drive the nature out of door
Then it flies back home to victim
Through the window, like before.

Pixie within the pinkPixie within the pink
let me swirl your tyranny into the high-octaved melody of my earliest endurance
Right as the clock ticked to six, the creaking sound of my mother’s war cry made me bury myself under the blankets.
Laying on the pretty quilted baby pink sheets as the pillow moulded to my head’s shape, opening my soul’s...

To fade awaysomething really familiar to my soul
to be stranded in a place
where memories are made
where memories are cherished
with pieces of the heart
not really broken
but rather tainted
from the unspoken truths
that are hidden from the time spent
with the unspoken love
of the future longings...

A CABIN FILLED WITH MEMORIES
I’ve said this before (and I’ll likely say it again!) about our cabin in the trees…
How it’s not just a cabin…it’s a cabin filled with memories.
Memories…compiled from the time our children and grandchildren were small…
each memory plays a part in the magic painted on its walls.
And the way I feel about our cabin…I know I’m...

The Horse Stable
‘Live in the moment’ they say
but it's hard on a winter's afternoon,
inside, warm in a comfortable chair
when the mind drifts, wanders off
to find a park somewhere
at the end of a childhood street.
Dragonflies patrolling the hot, pine
scented air and sunk in the shade,
an abandoned stable thick in spider
webs and behind a half door,
a long,...

PREGNANT MEMORIESPREGNANT MEMORIES
The love we shortly shared,
Was as the sunlight of life,
Fueling and energizing souls
With unimaginable pleasure:-
We met, touched, and loved,
In that moment, we were one.
But as time faded, we melted,
Flowing away from each other:-
Now, in the quiet of night,
In the castle of my heart,
And in the temple of my mind,
Thoughts penetrate the distance:-
Indeed, each...

The Gate of PainI scream at the universe
for injustice and unimagined pain
when my GOSSAMER heart opens
the gate of GRIEF-STRICKEN memories
of a GHOSTLY face
that lies in a GRAVE of GODFORSAKEN despair
still GROANING inside my soul
where I crumble in tear-stained
mutterings of worthless thoughts
of days and nights that could have been...

DAILY GRATITUDE MEMORIES
When I see time moving ever forward…
and each day I grow a little oder than the day before…
I am grateful I have a way of looking back…
grateful knowing that’s what memories are for.

GRANDPAS PATH
Our cabin in North Carolina was built by Deborah’s mom and dad in 1983…
It rests on the side of a mountain…nestled in among the trees.
When Deborah’s dad was alive he had a garden terraced off at the bottom of the yard.
He built a pathway to this garden…to make the walk down there…not quite as hard.
This...
