"Life overflows with brilliant memories-
lodged deep within to find again and see."
by Poet
I ponder on a word that means so much-
a word that congers thoughts of lucent things
grouped as those objects we observe or touch-
such as the glowing moon- or diamond rings.
Yet, special is that shine that dwells within-
those memories that spark a recalled scene,
then rises to our thoughts as we begin
to search that field of images still keen.
So many gems lay sparkling in our minds
of wondrous days and years, we can recall;
and each gets glossier as it unwinds-
while joyous recollections shine- enthrall.
Pray that our shiny jewels are kept sublime-
as we proceed to polish them with time.

Love feels like an illusion;
a mix of lies and the truth.
For it's non-responsive to
the expectations of youth.
Facing doubt and frustration;
bravado falters, then slips.
And yet, in your fantasies,
passion congers eager lips.
Hope courts imagination;
summoning a dreamy smile.
And you find your private place,
where you haven't been for a while.
You're searching for a soulmate
who’ll embrace your existence.
So, you continue to look;
with undying persistence.
You fall in and out of love
with the ghosts of yesterday.
And yet, feigning happiness;
say everything's okay.
