Burn in the cool sun,
Be a friend of the old moon
to recollect love

Remember
Echoes from the past
Still my thoughts, color me
In hues of melancholy,
Abiding, gentling, forgetting
There are moments
When hope was lost in the ancient
Feelings, bleeding
Through the silence, preventing
The quiet to rest on the prayers
Pleading for the light to shimmer
Into the present, where
Promise fades and grace, so amazing…
Reflections of my spirit
Breathing joy, heartening
Laughter, caresses
In the beauty of

I Recollect
Ah ! I see stones!
I have lines on my face
They mature me
I see viewpoints - perceived
Mixed emotions
The vibes in my head
Hearing the words that you said
It's compliments?
Isn't it so
These words are all I know
Stones on my mind
What then shall I find?
I am perplexed
It's all convex
Concave? It sunk in
Here we go again
It's in my head
The words

When Will I Recollect My Memory
Struggling.
When will I intervene
to stop my tears
from flowing endlessly.
When will I take action to
invade my happiness
hiding in my closet.
Walk.
When will I hypnotize
my spirit and soul
not to abandon me,
nor elope with
my liberty.
Action.
When will I embark
lift up
my compassion
imagination
and forgiveness
to fascinate
my existence.
Smile.
When will I stabilize

A Recollect
Carolyn, not the throne blighting enigma
But she who carries a name like a country
From that warm Devonshire persona
Tolled it from the multicultural bell of history
And I today see the end
Not from Mayan Calender or prophets' plight
How our time has warped and bend
How spotted is the brightest light!
How tormented is the bravest of men!
It is the

Please Recollect
PLEASE RECOLLECT
Recollect when we drink from the
Same tea
And feast on the same meal.
Recollect our moon light dream,
When I call, you talk like
Words are too small to express
Your love.
Recollect when we hold hands to
The store
Beside that leveled lawn
To buy your favorite toys,
Recollect how I admire your voice
And your coiled dreadlocks
That makes me rejoice.
Recollect whatever the offense
I
