The thought of me that came into your mind, It grew; It blossomed; You thwarted it; Hopefully you are letting it wilt and die. I do not want to ignite old flames. I want to believe your words were true; After all you said them, But my mind acts as if it has a mind of its own. It's been months but still it...

old times and knew times I was thinking about how I live now in a big apartment with four bedrooms and their bathroom, and I study for me. As a child, my mother and two other siblings had two rooms and half a kitchen; the other half belonged to a woman who had one room and two children. She...

Do you remember Skipping with a rope..alone Or catching 'jacks' with stones. Do you recall Tennis against an old brick wall Or conker contests in the fall. Did you chalk out hopscotch squares Play make believe,games of dare Hide and seek or touch and run In a childhood wrapped in fun. Is simplicity a thing of the past Will life in a circle turn Will common sense..return?...

My nose felt like it was on fire and that piercing took me a week. Young and stupid old and wise. Followed by my third piecing of my tongue on a bet.dad did not...

Go quickly now Purge why and how Dance in that dream Ooze in lost streams Go fade away Thus ends last day Watch old times die Beyond those highs Go when you can Exit old span Tact follows act Don't just react Go with a smile Know ends that style One for the road Unleash old loads Go with the wind Unknown, unseen Leon Enriquez 17 January 2017 Singapore...

Observe the flow of dancing light, Urge joy to thrill that precious whole; Reach for that glow that sparkles sight. Glimpse how love feels in your own soul, Oblige the cast of poignant zest; Outlive the craze in inner child, Dance first and last your affluent best. Oomph floods the daze in thoughts gone wild, Live deep delight where time stands still; Defy the...

Old times speak soft From poignant loft Here and now hurl As moments curls Times once so fresh Now distant flash Change and old age Cast a new page Here we are dear Wrinkles of cheer So much now past To feel at last Old times loiter Mind games foibles Old primal tease Awkward odd ease Fumble with form Change alters norm Yet grace frees truth To fact new proof Here face to face Old times...

Old Times and New I travel in my wandering mind To a different day and time Back to the mid-40's When a cute young secretary was I. Back when dresses marked size 14 Are current day skimpy 10s, That's where this reminiscing poem Is about to begin. Copying documents or research for themes Required an old Xerox machine; Filled with fluid and a tray It was the...

Missing the old times Missing an old friend Her smile on her cheeks Reminds me of sweet days. Old conversations We talked things over We ended up laughing Rolling on the floor Through worst days We held each other’s hand Tears were memorable She’s my best friend. Missing the old times Missing an old friend. I’ll keep on thinking Till we meet again....
