Best Remembrances Poems

We lay on the grass
Softened by love's rhapsody
Deaf,to breeze that chimes
Recalling all youthful dreams
of candle light and stardust.

A child of the 60’s, I was raised on radio.
Times were changing, and it was a great time to live,
for the songs made you want to be good to yourself,
be happy to love and be happy to give!

By ‘69, with cosmetics I played.
The eyes of...

Shreds of oak tree in faded gold
Drift on my life-scenes, wishes untold.

Ere ever I send to her;
She whom I love; 
Any of the apologies and explanations of most bittersweet love:
An accounting of those regrets and remorses that I have, 
My fooleries and follies and fallacies, fair as well as fell and foul, 
That I discharged;
Ere I...

A cacophony of sounds fills the air.
Bodhrans beat and the jukebox screams.
Flutes and fiddles mingle in a mad race
overpowering, the drone
of drunken revelers in the back room.
Daddy’s darling bounces upon his knee
wreathed in a smile rivaling the brightest sun.
Dinners play their spoons and dash their...

Start
My dearest mother I miss you so much
As a baby I yearned for your delicate touch
May you be happy wherever you are
I always feel your presence as such

I know your dwelling now is very far
At night I see it as a twinkling star
Overshadowed by the...

Have you ever inhaled a memory?
Planted in the past
Shadowed trails
With elusive tales
Just beyond your grasp

Have you ever chased this memory?
Seeded in the past
A kite drifting away
Its string teasing
Just beyond your grasp

Have you ever caught a memory?
A once elusive task
Its phantom tail
Once envisioned
Now held within your...

People, here as we tend to glance about,
we find ourselves gathered this Summer's day.
For there isn't a speckle of genuine doubt
that blue sorrow still lingers here today.
Yes, therein the hearts of many does it so,
tho' yet it's onwards which we shall all go,
go within memory's...

remembrances, of dad
so alive. now silent.

shall i speak it
shall i speak of sadness
not sorrowing grief
but inconvenient sadness

the gaps
the gaps of a father i did not know
did not understand
the child he once was
the man who lived and fathered me

the first of his siblings to die
they came...

Tainted one's brain remains
When scathing remembrances it contains
Due diligence when not fulfilled
Leave one in a state of surreal
In love matters, bitter the pill
If swallowed it will kill
memories of love gone unfulfilled
Thoughts unrequired must yield...

Midnight draped in raven black haunts me with hurt memories
As tiara of stars gently winks, lustrous amid pastel skies—
Igniting breath’s comfort to bloom come dawn’s fresh epiphany.

Remembrances 

 

Are they just pieces cluttered around? 

The letters in the box, the dried roses 

in one of the pages of my favorite books. 

They all seem, are going along with me 

like waves unknowingly push the detritus 

into the bed shore and bring...

SWEET REMEMBRANCES

    Where have you been?
       I can’t find, now unseen.
    But your sweet remembrance
      your mystic fluorescence
    I preserve in my trove of treasure.

Abstruse this aura of fear.
Envisioned darkness lurking near.

Ignorant to perceive what you hear.
Detached from feelings lost and unclear.

Allured by a spirit's whispers I hear.
Heed this murmur obscurity will clear.

Emerge from this somber despite the fear.
For death deceives those it draws near.

Remembrances absent in solitude for...

Inside my house – inside myself
Hushed in the reckoning of my living 
I drift in streams that have taken me here.
As I contemplate my age, my years,
Now belied by restful wisdom
I am complete and unalterable.
I have come to my final destination, my end.
My mouth is...
