Author's Notes: Deepest Memories and Thoughts is a lyric poem I completed on May 1, 2018. The theme of this poem takes the reader on a kaleidoscopic walk through certain subjects, occurrences, situations, and experiences likened to life in general from my own personal perspective of having lived over six, and in a few years, seven decades of life. Time and distance over the course of a progressive life does give each of us a story to tell. You may find some things in this lyric write to be of interest to you. At the end of the day, we all share a common humanity. Enough said. (Gary Bateman - May 1, 2018) (Lyric)
Theme Categories: analogy, emotions, feelings, introspection, life, metaphor, and symbolism.
Deepest Memories and Thoughts
A little child
with big wet tears
An early love
a crushed heart
Feelings of utter loneliness
other people’s cruelty
Jagged-broken glass
a big toe bleeding profusely
Crying in the dark
as shadows close in
Childhood fight
a broken-bloody nose—the “Bully Boy” lost
A person’s deception foisted on others
fools are born—never give suckers an even break
A cousin in adolescence dies suddenly
his body—bloodless, inexpressive, stone-cold
Praying to God on this tragedy
His answer—Silence, Why?
Human Nature
expect the unexpected
Unexpected kindness
a stranger’s gift or a good deed
That First kiss
still blushing today
Your dreams
never lose sight of them
Long-dead parents and grandparents
always in my heart and my psyche
Life and Death
the finite boundaries of our mortal world
Eternity beckons to us all
have no fear—embrace it
On meeting God one day—
Oh, that’s who you are! mirabile visu!
My Wife, My Love, My Life
—an eternal blessing for sure!
