Best Rekindled Poems

Up on the sliding hill in the atmospheric river rain,
Captivating eyes of beauty, smile to me again.

Eyes full of rainy deluge, drenching in cold, over heart’s fire,
Like greening of balding hills, rekindle my waning desire.

Like the little birds over tall trees, swinging in wind, take...

Although I met you long ago it seems like we just met. I remember it like it was yesterday. It's a day I'll never forget. And now you're here back in my life and feels just like a dream. Because the one thing I always...

Starts under cold ash
The wisp of the wind; dancing 
Sparks fly and coals glow...

reduced
to glowing coals,
embers smolder
waiting for some bright spark
to rekindle an old flame's
liveliness

brilliant
fervid blazes
emanate with
radiant waves of warmth,
only the sun could compare
to such zest

How dreams of our youth now tiptoe
Alluring endearment memories impart
Enthralled in ardent past still aglow
How dreams of our youth now tiptoe
Rekindling passions thwarted long ago
Enamored in rhythms of your heart
How dreams of our youth now tiptoe
Alluring endearment memories impart

Lovers each parted their ways,
Tears cause misty sprays.
Colder grew them both,
Love amid them was now an old growth.

Lovers wear on their poignant face a pair of abysmal drenched brows,
Each parted brow one crumpled, other rumpled as twinge, sonorous it grows.
Their ways parted but for scores...

I stand amid the flowers of a time gone by
I search my thoughts, not wanting to cry
Haunted by a memory so tender and sore
I still my heart as my knees begin to shake more

Her pretty smile is but a distant flavor gone sour
Maybe if I...

My darling wife, I love you so much.
I miss your warm and gentle touch.
Why is it that we no longer talk?
Or underneath the moonlight - take a walk?

My loving husband I hold you so dear.
You've noticed also that we're not near.
What is it that is...

Love and second chances
They noticed each other’s alluring glances
So they decided to advance
To this place called romance

Will love strike again, probably not
But they agreed to be friends
While they both were hot

Love is like lightening
One bolt and you’re down
If it strikes again you won’t be
In the...

Wild eyed, bright eyed innocence,
Brimming with hope.
Days blurring by in happiness,
Unmarked, unblemished.
Oh, the words, the thoughts
So infallible they seem,
A certainty, an inevitability,
That stays so, 
But only till the days,
They supposedly know better
Unveiled cynicism, jaded minds
Which begin everything
With an if, a but, a why.
Faith and belief...

Rekindled

Sunken, rekindled; redefined
Remind me of something, before I find
It’s always a cycle, in my pain
Began at nothing, begin again

Over my nightmares, through these walls
Within the ashes I am called
One more commandment I must write
Within the plague of my respite

Broken recordings stuck on pause
Of all that’s...

Love needs to be expressed in many forms, many ways, all the time.
Inaction, silence and neglect are love killers.
Love like a flower, needs to be nurtured and cared for.
The written word is a powerful mode of expression.
But the love letter has become a thing of...

Ocean waves softly crashing under the moonlight
Spoken whispers as we walk hand in hand along the shore	
Motion of the waves crashing is hypnotic and refreshing
Emotion expressed by your gestures leave me wanting more

Lips kissing, teasing me with your intoxicating woodsy scent
Clips of passion playing in...

Making love to my memory
each tryst redefined
 Perfection recaptured
reenvisioned sublime 
Forever unwavering
all pain reconceived
The future rekindled  
—my heart’s reverie
