Remember Poems | Examples of Remember Poetry

Her big beautiful eyes were piercing me up and close Her playful smile playing all over, vainly trying to prepare me But, as always, in a trance I lay, heart pounding, mind blanked out. Completely unaware of everything, except her unabashedly gorgeous presence. Moments passed, without a word, without an act Didn't know it was that typical lull before the...

In life’s wake Are trailing memories, Born from dreams With life’s bow fixed Toward an unseen horizon. Willed by bold stroke, The soul is set afloat Down a river never traveled— A river of doubt. Drifting Under the dark forest canopy The cacophony, Nature’s chorus, Is unusually silent. Only imagination’s din Echoes in the ears, Stirring the heart. An unuttered presage Taming hubris With its humbling message. On the liquid canvas Are sketches of nature Flowing past, Giving...

What is the meaning of it all? If I told you, you’d surely bawl. Cry like a baby, yes you would, If all of truth you understood. Truth can be so enlightening, Also, can be quite frightening. For from the start, we’ve known it all. Our greatest challenge is recall. When recalled the truth is real, All empty spaces it will fill. We all were...

When you stand before the mirror so still.. Do you count the years, against your will? Trace each line like a fading chart.. And mourn the youth that did depart? But what if mirrors told the tale.. Not of what's gone, but where you prevail? Not just the texture, time, or trace.. But every triumph you now embrace. The silvered reflection that greets...

When you're so low you have to reach up just to touch bottom. Then when you've reached the bottom you still have to climb higher to reach the top. This is what having depression feels like. You see no end, unless you end. There is no strength left within you to climb any higher, so you stay at the...

Black top was miles and miles away Dirt road as far as you could see The future just a minute away Was everything you wanted it to be Taking our time but not slowing down Heads in the clouds, bare feet on the ground Up with the sun, chasing the moon around Dirt road living with a real country sound The black top...

The grief I feel is of another kind Sweeter than holy water A deeper breath than moorland air to find The black of midnight, not— Of monstrous seas, but— Of restful night, donated cloak From a kindly gentleman to wear Wrapped in coolest starlight, safe Astride a destrier — galloping to water Molted feather — fortuitously found New flight, gentle wind...

For Jason and his Argonauts, golden wool was theirs to fleece For the British, Iran's oil was theirs to drill and steal In '53 the West led Iran's democracy into a tyrant's peace Now we call the trouble since all part of God's grand will So many harsh lessons are learned in winter's darkest days Only to be forgotten as...

Words are soft or words are cold, Words reject or words can hold. They can warm the heart and free the soul, Or wound a person and make a hole. They can teach a world and build a nation, Or cause a war and desolation. To keep from wandering blindly, Choose your words and use them wisely....

I'd steal it back— my poem that she posted as her own. I'd name her plainly, demand a public apology— an admission of hypocrisy from the one who keeps her hands clean, grins like a simpleton, cackles like she's getting away with it, this even meaner magic. Navel-gazing Narcissus must not have realized I was never planning to stay quiet....

Stones remember, the first cold plunge in ice-melt currents hurling the sense of fear. They remember each bump, each grind, each sudden collision, that carved their surface to soft compliance, yielding to the drag. They remember the murmuring bobble, as gentler waters tumbled them together, stone on stone mumbling in the cobbled bed. They remember the drought years - sun cracking their dried backs, leaving flakes and crack lines, on once-smooth sides. They remember the roaring...
