Best The Past Poems
- Trapped In the Past -Escape from a world of unhappiness and sorrow
Days and weeks pass and I realize that I despise this cold hole
Let me be ...
Trapped not only within those four dark walls,
but with the elements in time and place
Let me be ...
Tears that makes you feel completely...

Dust From the PastLooking back again, back into the past,
it was written in sand, all those questions we asked
on those last days of summer, something was wrong
as the leaves started turning, and shadows grew long
There was dust on the tables, and the clutter remained
where never before, .......

A Shade From the PastJust as days long ago, when decorum resolved,
before composure, and poise,.. were corsages, unknown
Where propriety mattered, and was favored as gold,
high society, has gathered to flavor their tea

Closing the Door On the PastIt’s been many years since I’d climbed the wooden steps to my parent’s attic. The hinges of the trap door creak and a cloud of dust rises as I push the door open. I fumble for the light switch; it takes several minutes for the...

Shadows of the PastA child in time
Innocence was not youth, innocence was the times
We all sat at the dinner table
Discussions were lively, as adult’s sipped wine
That old Volkswagen, a trunk of memories
Now sitting in the graveyard of old rusty cars
Wishing for shinier days, and a fresh cold coca...

Light Verse
Haunted By the PastI’m haunted by these things from long ago;
mistakes that from the past I now regret;
these blunders of my youth that I now know,
and wish that I could change, but it’s too late;
and on my mind it’s like a heavy weight;
these haunting things which now I...

The Past Is PassedThere is so much you can let go of,
If you really want to try.
Stuff that only weighs you down,
That makes you want to cry.
Old regrets, self doubts and hurts,
That drag up pain and anger.
Toss them, ditch them, cast them away.
To self esteem they're a danger.
Worries...

The PastThat which once was and can no longer be,
a vision once seen you can no longer see.
When described as a thought, a memory,
or a seed or seedling if you are a tree.
The beginning of something the world now calls me!

Living In the PastPlay for me, Long May You Run,
to shed a tear and reminisce
of open roads when life begun,
to think of those now gone and missed.
Play for me a tender song
to share with some good friends like you.
Let's laugh and cry and sing along.
I know you feel...

Reflections of the Past, Visions of the Future
Embrace The Line
I do embrace that line- a badge of hope,
which left a shadow of sure death behind.
It represents the power to survive
with feats of expert hands which met the goal.
The need to put one's life on hold to gain
a better one- a promising...

Dramatic Monologue
Don'T Bother Overthinking the PastJust stop thinking about it,
Don't bother losing yourself to it,
Stop getting your mind overclouded
Don't overthink about it.
Past's not gonna change
Present's in your hand,
Future's awaiting you,
So does it take that long for you to realise;
Time always flows like river,
Everything that you wrote in sand of time,
Now...

The PastI wanted to live the dream
Be all that life handed it seemed
I followed my heart, followed my schemes
But life had a different direction it seems.
I think about the years past
Broken dreams that did not last
We were friends but we both forgot
Different destinies is what we...

Whispers From the PastTo walk the cliffs of ancient trails
that speak of winds and loss laid bare
midst sounds to tell of all the tales
of lore and truths they beg to share

Unzipping the PastSorting through old pictures kept in weathered leather albums
I am sorting through the questions, that are tethered in my head
If time is truly relative, (as often we have heard)...
then,...what defines this moment?
I am living here, while missing them....but is it me...
