Premium MemberRecalling Your Kiss




I recall the kiss of your lips, 
only to increase this feeling of desperate hunger. 
Striving to taste the sweetness in a ripe strawberry
 during the winter fast…
to quench my thirst in time of desert drought…
to capture fleeting youth with a net, broken and frayed.

Do memories mock the turning hands of the clock?
 Do they

Recalling the Moment
  
flashing cool gray 
shadows matched
my fluttering heartbeat as 
a painted lady butterfly passed by

           ~ Remembering You~
 
Remembering you, is a most simple task!
It’s in the rainbowed bubbles of your arms,
I that do bask!

No, absolutely, no, not once in a great while!
But in each splendid hour, yes, then,yes I can 
In the glimmer our of past eyes, those

Premium MemberFollowing Arrows Backwards

Back I go retracing steps.
Against the tide I must tread,
Following the arrows down in reverse.
Each arrow head points back to moments gone,
To a time before the dawn of days past.

The footprints I must retread
Lead backwards on the path trod.
Heel to toe carefully placed in reverse,
To echo the way I felt at each step.
To unravel the

Premium MemberRecalling a Century of Medical Care

Our lives were so much simpler
    a century ago
  If you got sick, you went to the doc
    else he came to you
  So long as you paid him, he'd see the job through

  Fees were upfront
    None of ~ 'It depends'

Recalling 2011
Written: by Miracle Man
August 12, 2021

A violent wind, thunderous, and loudly,
moves some stationary things it touches.
If in the “fraidy hole” hunkering proudly,
you've evaded mother natures clutches


“It’s an all-too-human frailty to suppose
that a favorable wind will blow forever.”

Waves, kissing the shore.
                   Golden sunrise, I do adore.
                   Summertime, please more.

A Recalling Tongue

Rain drags words out of a dark sky.
Words raw enough to grow antlers,
lightsome enough to slip between
parting flesh,
unmade words grown
from mouse ears and the stringy lips
of hollow reeds.  
A long untrammeled Celtic rivering
unabridged and uttered sheer.

If I croon a cobbled nursery hymn 
then that blank meaningless verse
might transmute into the ancient rattle
of pebbles on

Recalling Piano Sonata No 2 In B Flat Minor

We were still free to dream,
however, a tax on any imaginative writing
that contravened the rules or regulations
for literary acceptability 
or worse
were deemed counter-revolutionary.

In Poland, the last of the hold-outs
wrote odes to Chopin
but essentially all was well ordered and
compliant to the powers that be.

Now that Chinese is a compulsory language
for third graders
many have become re-programmers
for the

Recalling a Time
Written: by Miracle Man
July 13, 2020

I’ve had days, when as a tree frog, I had no tree,
sometimes like a salmon I’ve had to swim upstream.
I recall a few days that were like skinning a flea,
and while comatose, heard Heavens choir in a dream.

I’ve been called hard headed and set in my ways,
and a

Recalling You

sometimes.... I can recall your face- your smile
your laughter lines and your frown
sometimes.... I can recall your voice- softly spoken
and how you could always make me laugh
Sometimes.... I can recall so much of you-
but, memories are becoming vague-
as time moves on and I fear I shall forget
it will be like losing you all over again
I

Recalling Instances, Not Days
Written: by Tom Wright

Time has handicapped my retention,
And entire days can’t be recalled.
But particular instances inside those days;
Still clamor for immediate attention,
From my past where they lie sprawled.
