Best Reliving Poems

I’m still reliving that drive 
‘What are you thinking about over there?’
You deserve the world, so do I
there are stars in your eyes

‘What are you thinking about over there?’
Let this car take us the wrong way 
there are stars in your eyes 
again, and again...

Reliving Upside Down
                     by Odin Roark

The Jungle Gym geodesic glistened,
Afternoon showers dripped,
Languorous droplets fell, 
Saturating sand below,
Just like then.

Bench of parents
Reflected memories old,
Stroller wheels struggling,
Obstinate...

If it wasn't for the old Poetry Soup
Keeping my brain active and alive
I'd be a candidate for an old folks home
My mind is in overdrive

Still got lots to say and do
Before my final day of departure
This old world should sit up and take notice
And that...

I oft find myself reliving my youth
    uncovering uncomfortable truths
  about all of my foibles and most of my sins
    O, Lord! What condition my poor soul is in... 

  Whether daydreams or nightmares

Sitting cross legged beside a bonfire 
Flipping though old photos
Going back in time to the already expired
Reliving wonderful memories

There’s baby me butt naked covered in bubbles
Sister and Brother joining me too
Now I remember the greatness of having no troubles
Captured times will do that to you

A...

His eyes were wild with angry 
He roughly shoved her out of the vehicle 
I froze, terrified 
Her life was in danger 
Or was it my life in danger 
Our lives where in danger
She was begging for mercy

Once the love of her life, 
Now a...

It's one of those days, 
It hurts in so many ways. 
So many memories when I'm trying to forget, 
Waiting and watching for the final sunset. 
Laying on the floor, crying in silence, 
Thinking about my past and trying to make sense. 
Listening to songs...

a sinister reminder
of tortures of the past
is causing me to flounder
in deep shadows cast
     been through this before
     thought it had been conquered
     never again to abhor
     nor have...

Barefoot on the sand 

is it a warm place
that I dabble my toes
in the inviting water?
Say it is so, it has
been so dreary here.
I really need to escape
to a place the sun shines.

Sparkling and glimmering
crystals catch my attention
like a child discovering a
diamond or a new...

The photo placed there on my desk
Shows happy days when love was young
Smiling faces, traveling west
With so many songs still yet to be sung

We had the world then within our grasp
For we had found the happiness key
We knew our thoughts and feelings they’d last
The rest...

I didn't know
who I was
until it was
too late
to be
someone else....

Slowly falling backwards in fast forward, slipping quickly in rewind
Everything has been said and done , envy and jealousy orchestrates the emptiness of your mind
A futile release riddled with confusing censored free speech gone blind with  cold silence
Seemingly progression can't be made without the hunger...

not so lone  ago
on the road i know

we were everywhere
no doudt it was race rout
to make change
some say we were insane
walking day and night
i remember
RELIVING CLIVE RIGHTS...

Memories of my younger days
Add up to a much simpler way
Perhaps not exact
Opposite to fact
Twas a lot like reliving my stay...

Back I go retracing steps.
Against the tide I must tread,
Following the arrows down in reverse.
Each arrow head points back to moments gone,
To a time before the dawn of days past.

The footprints I must retread
Lead backwards on the path trod.
Heel to toe carefully placed in reverse,
To...
