Memory Lane
Strolling down the memory lane,
Mirages do not seem so strange.
Trails of nostalgia stay engraved,
In the happiness I once embraced.

Crystal pools of radiance.

A NOSTALGIA TANKA
Spring is cricket on the green
Summer is picnics in the park
Autumn is conkers from the crescent
And in Winter slides on ice
across the schoolyard
After Eihei Dogen (1200-1253)

Love Remembered
From finite
Garner nostalgia
From olden days;
Golden rays,
Green boughs,
Soft meadows,
Stars reflecting hope.
The elder watched
The constellations,
Shaping and re-shaping.

Untitled 2
a lament for forgotten yesterday
a muted sigh for a vanished past
what becomes of a new tomorrow
what remains of this inert today
shackled by nostalgia
searching
ever searching
for that other, better way

Vagabond
Like a ravished maiden
pale, forlorn and ashen
the birch lay in the still pond.
Dreams of Ophelia evoke nostalgia,
as golden tresses move on,
splay upon the water
feast upon our daughter
a beautiful vagabond.

vignette-EASY LISTENING
With nostalgia,whimsy and wit
Into English folklore he was writ
Showing his loves & himself,without measure
His poetry became a national treasure
metered euphony,a reading pleasure
Tribute to the work of John Betjeman mentioned recently in my blogs.

Continental
Crop dusting now,
Endings inevitable.
And in this keyhole
I strain to see
your nostalgia.
Patty cake games
Untimely now
And your breath
so much slower
than before.
This closeness
will follow me
eternally so,
until it is my
time for
Departure.

First flakes of snow
Here they come.
First flakes of that white snow
Still stirs the child in me
Melting flakes on my hand
envelop me with nostalgia
Still I get that smile on my face
Still I start dreaming
Still I feel warm at heart
in that chilling cold
Still I want to dance
With those first flakes of snow.

Small Sizes
How come 50 cents bags of chips
taste so much better,
than their big-bag cousins?
Or 7 oz. nostalgia coke soda bottles
have such a taste, oh, so devine?
I puzzle over such things,
I guess I'm just the wondering kind...
So it follows I should be happy,
To have this shrunken mind.

Smoke
I've always been
hypnotized by smoke,
how it curls and hangs floating,
the only bare remains of
fleeting thoughts.
The scent raises nostalgia
from thin air.
My sweet grandmother
in her warm kitchen,
sipping milk with ice,
waving the trails
of her lit cigarette away.
They danced like phantoms.

Ever So
the sun is going down in not so sunny california
time wasted time gained
missing you
ever so
the night creeps in
fimiliar memories breach the skin
filling me with your memory
ever so
the nostalgia is suffocating
my heart struggles to pulsate
the breathing stops
still you live on
ever so

Coffee
Warm, dark, and
Soothing.
Your promiscuous
Odor lulls me into
A spell
Of nostalgia and
Excitement.
Your rubust flavor
Fills me with a
Voluptuous
Propensity for something
Spicy, and as your
Contagious titillations
Course
Through my body,
My brain becomes
Enveloped in
An euphoric wonderland.

illiterato
On a day of rememberance
Cold nostalgia
Playing in your eyes
Heart stabbed
With un-spoken words
Niether dead
nor alive
silent lies
mournful sorrow
Hidden in the uprise
No one said goobye
Not a word whisperd
crying in the sky
Forgotten words
shadowed grace

Dreams Glowing Brightly
Dreams wed forever partied in the park.
Hope's voice permeated life's freshest air.
Beloved friends, there rejoiced at love's spark.
The wedding guests adorned in formal wear.
Enjoying snacks and drinking way past dark
Oh sweet nostalgia, come again, so fair.
Beneath night-lights held tight by romance.
Couples glowing brightly, spinning…thoughts dance.

Mouth Wash
Minty is this unwelcomed kiss,
which
never happened in the first place.
But should have,
at least my obession
told me so.
And nearly half a lifetime
later I digress
and stick inside this
ridiculous nostalgia.
Like concrete frozen
inside this time bomb
of an igloo.

Flash of Youth
One again hears the rendition
of the songbird’s morning tide trill,
amongst shades of trembling light
that, which still meanders upon
the hillside, where unsung meadows
interact in dishevelled jade,
here were one to relive again
if only a fleeting moment,
an indulgence of nostalgia
that for me, cements in my mind
my youth and my esteem for you.
“A portrait of foreverness”.

Send me a beam
Wrinkle at the line
creams for the age gap!
Holiday in France this year
friends, friends fill an hour.
Or two. Home I say:
danced to nostalgia
in boxes and mind pills.
Then straight jacketed.
Sweet as sultanas
The dreams curbed me in.
A beam houses in Ghent,
One you lived with me
wrinkles our deep lines
for filling water
gaps between here and there.
Yet you & I will see.

Echoes of the Heart
serenading soul's introspections
canzonet of reverberations
as nostalgia pulls at the heart strings
memories, the heart's symphony brings
introspection strains fill my senses
soothing to let down my defenses
a poesy of echoes then take reign
like a balm, alleviating pain
through life's ups and downs reminiscing
heartbeat of an echo sparks blessing.

Sepia
Spend your days in black and white
Day dream away in sepia
Reminisce of yesteryear
And nostalgia bleeds from you
You've locked the door and lost the key
I know you'll never let me in
I kept on knocking 'til my hands bled dry
Who is that stranger in your skin?
And rain falls harder every day
I need to find a place to sleep
I searched for shelter in my dreams
But even they had turned on me

Forget - Me - Not
Remember us; forget- me- not,
my lips now, liked severed petals.
Blossoms grew with every smile
then, our kisses became the nettles.
Remember us; as glory stems
and nostalgia frames our past.
One sigh, in time, and bittersweet
as memories between are vast.
Remember us; forget- me –not,
and now blossoms another rose.
Yet, as my wounds linger to heal,
your half of our flower grows.

Lost and never found
Follow me to the metaphysical plain's where spirit's graze, we'll get lost in the darkest part's of the forest for day's, following any direction that nature sway's, ocular perception's in a kaleidoscopic maze, ascending infinitely in a spiritual phase, psychedelically extracting thought's the mind never portray's, nostalgia quickly decay's, there was never a place for us among society anyway's.

STREAMS OF CONSCIOUSNESS
The imaginary musings of my mind,
experience past & present lingers long,
dusted off,re-opened,viewed from time to time,
retrospective perspective changes all;
Maturity's long-sightedness squints aghast,
then savours the mellowness of memory;
A tear,a smile washes nostalgia's face;
Today will be yesterday,gathering dust,
then filed,microfiched,all too soon forgotten
'til an event unlocks the museum again.

The Nearest Exit
The Nearest Exit …
… discarding memories,
suffocating in nostalgia’s
throttling grip,
I flee, moment by moment,
away from the now,
seeking, yearning,
chasing phantom clouds of
promise,
coveting shrouded whispers of
hope,
seducing empty vessels of
belonging,
I flee, moment by moment,
away from the now,
seeking, yearning,
lost, alone, torn,
slowly crawling to the nearest
exit

"Kitty!"
He calls my name now
In sequins
Like a brocade of sounds
pattering from a single mouth
I continue to lick my behind
Showing the absurdity to the sorcerer
He doesn't feed me; he doesn't know me,
Though I slept on his belly on my first Christmas day
No bigger than a baby shoe...
Damn the cat's nostalgia!
We bore it out of our souls
Like machinated shovels
We live for the next kill
Afraid of every God damn moment...

Bitter Sweet
What was to be can be no more.
What lies here now did not before.
He broke her heart so she broke his
She still remembers his soft kiss.
The web of lies did break with ease.
As one another they tried to please.
When temper flew they broke apart
But nostalgia remained in their hearts.
Now tears find their ways down her face
As she reflects upon her fate.
She remembers him with happiness
But her bitterness cannot be missed.

Sugar Gift of Autumn's Hips
The sun persuaded the earth to move
and slip,
slip,
slip from her summer groove
as we climbed to the top of the autumn trees
and swayed with the sway of the orange breeze
He held in his hand a bouquet of leaves
all crackled in crimson he gave them to me
Their scent lingers still on nostalgia's page
for I laid them to rest, as the season's sage...

upside down where nothing falls
open minded patchwork of dreams
one minded irritated hole screams
gliding feather won the thunder race of kings
whirling nostalgia the howling star links
raining abstractive tons of anima, it stings
pick up the phone and heart sings
drown struggle, breathe revolt, mass drinks
puke pride, taste flawless imperfection, too loving sane
...skied harmony, swimming sun
upside down where nothing falls
picnic in unbound space

To Ram
By Graciela Rincon
I take the ray and the storm of
The arch of rainbow in my mouth.
I leave you my my soul,
And the nostalgia
Of my leaving very far.
Each night I shall call your fire,
And your mysterious look.
You will not die in me,
And in each Milky Way,
Showing in the balcony of time.
Your image leaned in the
Sea of the South,
Will illuminate the solitude
Of the Universe.
In all the ways you will
Walk with me.

Zero
Josiah conquers revisionists
by stating an old-world axiom:
“When seeking structure,
one must be mindful of decay.”
He taps a rusted column with
an ordinary wooden cane,
releasing decades of oxidation
in particulate dust.
As his nephew secures the wire
on the final shape-charge
a tear wells with nostalgia
and sympathy for the hobbled
until the flurry of blasts
at zero.

Her Sorrow Looks for a Company
She’s going to be fine. It’s a trifle.
She’ll survive it like many times before.
Only the silence and pain are awful.
It’s not possible for her to ignore
The nagging pangs of soundless loneliness,
The scent of nostalgia and longing,
This pervading feeling of emptiness,
This impossibility of acting.
Thus, her sorrow looks for a company,
But it sees nothing on the horizon.
So she sets out on a lonely journey,
Undergoing another life lesson…

A Pretty Picture Box called Nostalgia
What recollection
I have in mind
In the name of progress
I put away in the garage
In its very own box labeled nostalgia
A long time ago
To painful to revisit
I choose rather to ignore everyday
As my gravel worn wheels role on bye
Into the omnibus skyline abyss
Floating in free fall decline
And I think to myself
If this is the future
If this is progress
God help us all
And
Brace yourself for a heavy fall
We were never going to head to the warning call

I want to die
I want to die and go home
Life is void and transient
Sorrow and hardship is the pillar of life
Inequality and segregation is
the other name of life
Nothing is in life except mirage golds
that will even mislead me
to miss the eternal home
where things are utopia
and sorrow and agony, you will not taste
But eternal joy that will honey your soul
I want to die and go home
Torment has conscious my nostalgia
I will be happy if I die
For this home is elysian.

What Do I Know
What do I know about pain and tears
About love and hate
About loving and not being loved
About changing tears into rain and dawn into wine
About night and day being the same
About time and space
About dreams and reality
About happiness and sadness
About memories and nostalgia
About life and death
About destiny and fate
About beauty
About you and me
About words and songs
About falling off the universe
What do I know about anything, I’m just a poetess!

Clannish Hyperbole
Hand-me-down myths,
like ancient monoliths,
clan's fondest memories
by nostalgia embellished;
larger-than-life sagas,
truer-than-truth legends,
hyperbolic narrations
of happy exaggerations;
that's ancestral history,
coloring one's genealogy,
seeping, coursing down
bloodlines, tribal milestones,
its gravitational whirl stirs
generations' imagination,
east, west, north, south
through word of mouth!

teendream
hanging out
that’s what we do
pondering glory and greatness,
drinking nostalgia from a plastic cup
that clock ticks,
that song plays,
cross our t’s and dot our i’s
play fast and loose
eagerly feel up life
say we won’t look back,
but do it when we think no one’s looking
slip, swallow, sing, startle, emerge
try our very hardest to be unique
and close our eyes so tight
that the blackness deepens around us
make our bodies a smile,
open, and begin again.

A Sunny Wait...
Young days start with a nostalgia
for a lost freedom
Anxiety was the prime suspect.
As the age moves on,
truth consumes the virtue.
I hold this insult
in the throes of conscience with tears.
The dreams did not last long
in the wild eyes of geniuses.
Grace and dignity fell short of sinners.
The prince of blackness strode
on the white souls.
I could not have been a witness
of paradox.
Lacked in the old books
I still wait on the highway
for a sun to climb the hill.

Dear Diary
Dear Diary ,
a lingering thought of nostalgia.....
reminiscing.....
such a beautiful time in my life
the place of a distant dream.....
does it take you back.....
the life changing music !
the freedom.....
our love.....
I wonder where you are today.....
a deep breath, a sigh
I do miss you.....
a lingering thought.....
a reflection of who we thought we would become
a promise to always stay together.....
such a beautiful time in my life.....
I do miss you.....

I crave
I crave for thee oh heights
Fathomless heights,
Hiding beyond the skies
Where wisdom and wealth lies
I crave for thy zenith oh heights,
Fathomless heights;
Not for the audacity of euphoria
Nor for the aroma of nostalgia.
I crave for thy topnotch oh heights
Fathomless heights;
To become the epitome of an epicure
And my brains and brawns to insure
I crave for thee oh heights
Fathomless heights:
The abode of the twinkling stars,
The home that can’t behold scary scars.

New World
I stand on the edge of my sanity
Looking at my past
On the horizon of a new world
Hopefully the last
I can glimpse that life in another world
Without a mirror to see my face
To confirm, that nostalgia lingers
Even here, in outer-space
Were I to wish, I could go back
My wishes would, be all in vain
For the ones I loved are dead and gone
And in this place, I will remain
So goodbye sweet loves
World and family, I once knew
I can't go back to visit you there
But know that I'll, remember you

Vanishing Radios
Tuning and tuning,
Miles lie vanquished.
Mind’s swinging,
Hanging on the tuner,
Is so sweet.
Tuning and tuning,
The world beats within walls.
An old love is rising
With a cup of nostalgia.
Solitude flees away
From its spell.
Often, after lunch,
It serves siesta well.
Like an infant on the lap,
It makes you unconscious about time.
Televisions conquer
Villages, and radios vanish
With old laps.Tomorrow, under
The dust, it will sing away,
And its lovers will hear silent music.
