Best Sentimental Poems

There are certain items kept
Sentimental objects are special
They hold the good memories
Some of us own one object
While some of us own several

It could be anything owned
Mine are several items
I treasure to my heart
I framed a Christmas card
A scene of Colpoy Bay area

A painting framed of...

"The love between a mother and daughter is like nothing else
in the world. It has no rules, it dares all things and crushes all
that stand in its way, and cannot be destroyed, even by death."

Sentimental scars
Hurt so much more
Than these physical blemishes
I’d rather bleed briefly
And heal with a scratch
Than bleed forever
And never be repaired...

My dearest, darling lover, 
Through this electronic medium
I touch and caress you with my love

As you read these my words to you
Feel the tenderness of my lips upon your neck
The aching of my breast, molded to your chest

Stronger than the miles between us, is our...

The way to a man's heart is through his heart
Contrary to how the old saying goes
After all my years this is what I've discovered
It's an axiom most people don't know

The “through his belly” quote wasn't accurate
As far as this old guy's concerned
If you could know...

Recalling yesteryears;
reliving every scene.
And doubting choices made,
dream of what might have been.

Time slowly unravels
the tangled threads of youth.
Revealing faceless lies
that camouflage the truth.

You peer back at a heart
love overlooked in haste.
And savor the moment;
for its bittersweet taste.

Though faded memories
fail to recall her face.
You dream what...

My parents were born in the USA as was I,
but about my heritage I have never been shy.
My grandfather came from a distant land,
one I've never seen, but still hold close at hand.

He took that "slow boat" from Europe in the first part of the...

A few minutes ago, a loud text alert startled 
me and woke me up, and yawing
I fell off my comfortable, canopy bed:
a heartbreaking message appeared
on my black IPhone, I started shaking, 
" Pretty boy, I'm leaving for sunny California, 
it's about  time you had...

Now at an advanced crotchety age
namely three score plus one Earth
orbitz around the nearest star,
yours truly revisits
poignant episodes foisting
launching snapchatting

one after another crisis
sidelining ability to cope
pursuing life, liberty
and pursuit of happiness
whiz hard by at light speed.

Though just a kid during third industrial revolution,
I remember feeling...

Stunning scenery in surrounding twilight 
lists lissomly, touching corners of my mind,
bringing promises of the forthcoming night
with billowing breezes, of the serene kind.

In muffled silence, smitten by its splendor, 
the Composer's tempo sets our feelings on fire.
Seductive sounds spool us with erupting ember.
Enticing eyes envelope...

A spirited moon skipped and skid
across the silent snowy steppes
as a pale sun sidled and slid. 

Her passionate sensuous steps
softly seduced the stars to shine
across the silent snowy steppes.

I beseeched the night to be mine,
singing a sentimental song,
softly seduced the stars to shine.

The Milky Way...

Dedicated to My Daddy, William Cason Godwin, 1931 - 1998

Heart-fragile, love flashes that my memory stashes
Live on to hurt me in sentimental, joyous ways;
His dog tags, medals and ring sit in my jewelry box, and
I am soothed mumming around home wearing his old socks.
Time fragments...
