Recalled World

I knew you were the one with my eyes closed
I loved all of you - from your nose to the tips of your toes

You challenged me and I took you up on it
But before you really gave us a chance - you just quit

I know now that all of it was just lies
So Halloween of

Premium MemberBeauty Recalled

grieving sad loss of summer
it is time of greatest joy
when old bones no longer ache
and eyes are blessed with colour

to smell crisp newly mown grass
after warm summer shower
herbaceous border delights
hollyhocks reached perfection

midnight, smell the torpid air
wisteria in moonlight
salamander on old walls
nightlight with aura sheds glow

drinking strong morning coffee
wide eyes take in this beauty
never to be

Premium MemberShakespeare Recalled

Stratford-upon-Avon Shakespeare's town
Where shades of the past are present each day
in daub and wattle homes there can be found
Medieval moments that are at play.

Tragedies staged with death quite violent
In his writing of revenge and torment
Shakespeare lies buried his quill now silent
He wrote of passion and evil portent.

On cobbled street where Tudor shoe did tread
Walk in

Anger Recalled

I
What does it mean if vain thoughts rise?
Long-buried people, events, may arise
Suddenly, even after forgiving an ex (wife)

II
Does it mean forgiveness is not?
I don't think so; perhaps quick fix was sought
Or new partner has connections to ones that fought (u)

III
Talking is the only way, the searing way
To expose little, un-needed lies, so u can say
Little

Premium MemberSweet Moments Recalled

you meet someone
  you haven't seen for decades
what do you talk about
  where do you start

right where you left off
  all those years ago
if it's an old high school chum
  you might recall teachers
or school plays or sports teams

if it's a college roommate
  you'll probably relive a few of those
drunken

Retired Doctor Recalled

Couldn’t leave yet,
One of them that I’d met 
Moaning and screaming,
It feels like they’re dreaming.
Needed again,
Glad to give a refrain
But I’m now nearly eighty,
Active still though, matey.
Couldn’t say no,
Knocked up, asked not to go,
Help this doc has displayed,
Over this whole charade.
Me retired so I’ll roam
Exhausted, I want home!

Premium MemberNostalgia Recalled

Memories surface,a requiem of
sounds,heaving emotions realign,
words recalled speak volume from
deep within , and live again on a trail
of nows  then wash nostalgia’s face
with random spontaneity from
the unconscious mind.The house
full of yesterdays,books that filled
wet Wednesdays,cross-stitched hours
upon the wall.Eclectic collected 
moments,sentiments,priceless,unique
and irreplaceable,this smell of love
percolating into endless tomorrows.

~ Faces recalled ~

A tear slipped down my cheek
       into my heart
Good friends from whom
       I've split apart

A downward gaze
       a moment's reflection
Faces recalled
       with teardrop's affection

To Those Recalled

Escaping into verse,
  the base of the tower rumbled,
  the ground beneath was shaken
  with new cracks inside its walls

Escaping into verse,
  all towering deception crumbled,
  as the self-anointed jumped and fell
  landing prostrate and so small

Escaping into verse,
  the mime shouted out enabled,
  his silent thunder

A Dream Recalled

In my bed, memory took fancied flight,
When I met with dear friends the other night.
Some Loved ones and Folks I’d known so well,
Stopped by to visit.  Numbers more than I could tell!

Some of those seen, had long been away,
While others, were met only yesterday.
But all were welcome; they made me glad,
Though now I’ve wakened,

Premium MemberRecalled Memories

Tenderly she picked the pink flower
day dreaming of the first flower given
wandering over to the bedecked bower
she dreamily looked at the garden

Memories of happy times came flooding in
the places they had visited together
Roma where they bathed in Turkish basins
Athens, they were victims of a flasher

Paris is the city of love and romance
here they had dallied

Premium MemberRecalled To Life

His heart ached as he looked at her
Her eyes had no sparkle
She walked ignorant of the fact
That her footsteps rocked his world
That she exuded sexuality
She walked unaware of the magnetism
Of her form
The sheer beauty of her hair as it caught the sunlight
She had been robbed of so much
He knew
He knew only too well
That she had

Red Sea Recalled

RED  SEA  RECALLED

Perim squints in sun without relief
Through its narrow windows
Towards the mirage
Of  Socotra’s pearled reef

Red and shallow sea floor
With coral islets shimmering
And rainbows of fish
Near its dusty rock shores  
 
Crossed by the Tropic*
Crossed by dhows
Crossed by  Moses
Crossroads geographic and historic

Its waters stream  warm
Through the gate of tears
