Flashback To Fridays

Flashback to Fridays when I was a wanted guest a common companion strolling the riverside with more than just the moon willing to chat where words resonated with hand-cut diamonds lighting up my vision and your restful eyes where missed lessons were backtracked and praise was left to pigeons hiding in the shadows pretending not to be seen Harlequin days have passed us on by and what once were sailboat dreams have quietly motored ahead I'm relegated to slip silently in the cracks chasing down demons with a crooked stick fighting off the famine in air too thick left with thoughts lingering in a darkened sky broken in heart and spirit I'm left to die

Sometimes when we look back on our memories we have regret. We wish we could have done things differently. Well written and beautifully expressed Tim. A fine write. God Bless, JB

Sadness and deep emotions are the basis of this lovely poem, Tim. The contrast between the two stanzas is very evident and effective. // paul

Seems sadness and loneliness are holding the poetic forecast hostage today. Very deep Tim. These emotions I understand.
