AN UNMOCKED ALLEGORICAL FLASHBACK

AN UNMOCKED ALLEGORICAL FLASHBACK


When we were young and growing up,
Granny said that all things have a seed,
And that every seed produces its own
Things to be reaped: good or bad:-


At the time, it was hers and the bible study
Lesson to be taught and remembered; however,
At that time, I didn’t get the full allegorical meaning
Of what she

A Flashback of Life - The Tesla

A birth of new life
In the middle of the night
He stands still

Showered upon the earth
Bringing new hope and beginnings
Accomplishing their will

The making of curiosity
The earth's feature
Brought his mind and body on a hill

A Flashback: The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones,
a prominent singer of ANGIE

“UNDER MY THUMB,
the girl who once had me down”

He may wish to create a portrait,
and PAINT IT BLACK

When people make wishes,
He says “YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT”

It’s autumn now,
TUMBLIN DICE here and there

When going to barn,
WILD HORSES seen afar

Being in an odd town,
HONKY TONK WOMEN lived there

THE PRESENT JUNETEENTH: A 2025 Flashback

THE PRESENT JUNETEENTH:  A 2025 Juneteenth Flashback


Beginning with the celebration
Of our Juneteenth,
We prepare a new perspective
For the 4th of July:-
Though this nation now stands stalled
On the brink, she remains our nation
That she is also our nation too, there 
Can be no lie!

What a uniqueness her oppressed people
Now share?
Two juxtaposed emancipation celebrations 
Back-to-back:
Going from these

Maestro Sister Jan

Please play a song for me Jan, in flashback
A song that brings lovely memories back
I well remember days from long ago
How we adored our musical maestro.

We'd stand round the piano as you played
Mesmerised by the sounds your fingers made
And here you are many decades gone by
Tickling the ivories, and still we sigh.

Flashback

We jumped and played in the meadow, I'm alone on the porch.

Flashbacks

memories come creeping
flashbacks to grief
ignoring the happy moments I treasure
in my soul

FLASHBACK

A bowl of cereal
                  The crunch of memory
                              

Shattered Timelines of Grief

Grief is an earthquake, sudden and unforgiving,
Splitting the ground beneath your feet,
Turning the familiar into fractured ruin.
It shakes the foundations of who you are,
Toppling memories like crumbling buildings,
Leaving nothing but dust where laughter once stood.
Aftershocks linger in the quiet moments,
A tremor in your chest, a crack in your voice.
You try to rebuild, but the landscape

SELF PORTRAIT: APROPOS OF A FLASHBACK

I'm a dark-hued poetic mind
           Writing mine:
Inking navel keloid words
            Water-broken
           From pregnant

Flashback Forward

Tired eyes within an expression of lies.
Modesty sold to both youth and old.
Peering out of an unseen future.
Days spent in a sweatshop to pay rent on a house occupied by a phantom with no name.
Dreams of a surf bound to a contract with no expiration date.
My reward for a job well done being an expedited

My Life

Life is so vast
Too many details to remember
But in one flash
I am able to see it all

I see my family
My sweet parents
Cheering me on in my best times
My beautiful sisters
Holding me through my worst nights
My brother 
Making me laugh until I cried

I see my friends 
There with me through each phase
Reminding me of how beautiful

Sweet Flashback

Life is a quest fascinating and sweet,
It's a book with many empty sheets. 
At times you may ride the roller coaster,
Or you may feel you are riding a roadster.
Ups and downs, highs and lows, 
Cherry and merry, all the way. 
Life is a thrilling journey,
Of happiness and trouble loads.
