Best Unforgotten Poems

Take me there to yesterday's Summer night.
Walking on the beach,
sand between our toes,
hair blowing in the breeze.

When ripples in the sea,
slowly cleansed the sand,
tickling our toes,
washing away our footsteps.

On the edge where ocean meets land,
shoulder to shoulder we sat,
listening to calm splashing waves,
our tanned skin...

 Take me back to yesterday's summer night
Walking on the beach,
Sand between our toes
Hair blowing in the breeze.

When ripples in the sea 
slowly cleansed the sand,
Tickling our toes,
Washing away our footsteps.

On the edge where ocean meets land,
Shoulder to shoulder we sat,
Listening to calm splashing waves,

There were thirteen of us,
but now there's only twelve
Our brother Jay
will never be forgotten by us
His time on this earth is over,
I pray that he used it well

Our brother Jay was an exceptional lawyer,
be he died like a very foolish man
He fell asleep one late...

I will never be ready even though you signal your leaving
I foolishly keep the bright days since so much yet needs sharing
of long partings after our intense then rare meetings
of wild childhood stories and unfathomable blur future waiting
nowhere we could ever imagine even truly existing.

Memories of members of families, friends, our loved ones
Remain in our memories
We remember their presence, as time drips forever
We reminisce with tears, joy, pain, laughter at our fights and struggles
We visit the places that rekindle their sights and perceive the scents that linger their smell
Their...

I was the lucky one
The apple of his eye
He chose me to walk with him
The memories will never die

Two brothers older, two sisters younger
And I the middle one
Although he is with me no more
I'm still my father's son

Woodstock,Athlone,Mitchell's Plain...
We toured mostly by foot and sometimes...

I've captured you from death's snare,
While others were unaware
No more worrying,
You are unforgotten

You are alive
Others deny it 
Well, I know...
You are unforgotten
In my memory
You are unforgotten...

I remember when we first met, my daughter ran off to your special yard, she must have known you had two wonderful kids and known she would be safe.

We met under uncertain circumstances, your approaching me, Oh how I wish I could flee, please be...

At times in life as we struggle along,
We wonder why? The hard times we're seeing.
And in our heart's we're singing no song,
Perhaps questioning our reason for being?

But then God puts us in someone's way,
Someone strange to us at the time.
But presence alone can't brighten our...

Across the country, I’ve lost my sense; 
I sit and count the days. 
The days I have not perceived your say. 
I’m gone in a haze recollecting your mysterious gaze, 
am I crazy to say I keep falling in this passageway; 
your love is enchanting...

Once my life was filled with love and happiness
Now I feel lost and alone
Once I never had to worry about being alone anymore
Now I feel I could never find anyone like you
All I ever wanted had been taken away from me
And now I’m left here...

NIGHT OF THE UNFORGOTTEN


     Tinkered with the moonlight as it danced upon her face
 
     Imagined touching hidden places draped in endless lace

     Swept aside the trace of curl that sheltered tender ears

Unforgotten Beaches

The ball bounced across the smooth 
polished tile 
past the sleeping cat that adorns the 
door 
Out across luxurious green lawns 
Past the sole yellow balloon 
that lingers near the sad painted clown 
propped against abandoned arcades 
Rolling feverishly down the decaying 
boardwalk 
Where...

I felt her movements, I felt her life
In my life then, I had much strife
I loved my little child so deep inside
She would be my joy, my true pride
Then one day I felt her great pain
I knew my life would never be the same
I did...

With every step I take your face i see.
It haunts me, the days you spent with me.
Sweet memoirs, but bad encore,
I saw but I didn't want to anymore.

Beautiful, magnificent no words can tell
what i saw, for what i fell.
You bowed, held your hand and asked...
