Recollection Poems - Poems about Recollection

In the labyrinth of memory, shadows dance on the walls of recollection, whispering untold stories, And I, an eternal child, wander through the corridors of time, seeking answers in the eyes of those who raised me. They, the wellsprings of my being, unwittingly poured their turbid waters into my soul, A broken mirror in which I see the...

it happened on the 7th of July a perfectly normal day that now sticks up like a rusty nail a forever ache if it had been on a regular day it would have faded away like many others nothing special to make it memorable but, of course I recall each minute of that evening the months and...

Summer lover's moon shyly enclosed in silvered clouds, a honeyed recollection, white caps of memory waves, cresting, curling dreamily, a tide under eve's star canopy, coupled in enchantment, entwined on the beach. ~...

I watched the stars Felt I could see scratches on the sky That healed before my eyes I don't know what is being written Nor what is edited Rarely do I ponder changing scripts But I'm not yet etched in stone I feel abstract as I move in air with ease Like I loosely recall being stuck in place Gravity has released me...

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...

It’s strange to have a memory That no one else can share. I asked my brother but he was Too young, though he was there. My bedroom lamp, with two glass globes Was missing one and so I placed my doll’s straw hat right where That globe was meant to go. Of course, it rested on the bulb And soon began to smell As smoke...

They’ll take it away they’ll take it away See them talk much of freedom Just to take it Aa-way… There’s talk of disruption; there was talk Of great fear, rumour and murmur It’s been never real clear They’ve played in emotion on the health service too… Elevated to a point; that whatever they’d Do, would just go unquestioned by the Many or few. They’ll take...

Thoughts track back, as a fox on the run Though the memory is seared, a toasted bun. Memory remember me, because I have forgotten. Recollection fail us not, because my retention is rotten. Data exists in the web that the universe is built on. And once uploaded, it is forever ingrained, will never be gone. The...

This is my Recollection A salutation to mules, donkeys and horses. They have disappeared from city life but without them, no city could be built. Without the beasts no them, no field to plough we owe then our way of life. The beasts were sacrificed in our senseless wars. We remember them not that saddens me. There is a hole in the...

Remembrance by Michael R. Burch Remembrance like a river rises; the rain of recollection falls; vague memories, like vines, entangled, cling to Time's collapsing walls. The past is like a distant mist, the future like a far-off haze, the present half-distinct an hour before it blurs with unseen days. Published by Romantics Quarterly.

These are poems about recollection, poems about remembrance, poems about memories, poems about time and things we forget as well as remember... Lady's Favor by Michael R. Burch May spring fling her riotous petals devil- may-care into the air, ignoring the lethal nettles and may May cry gleeful- ly Hooray! as the abundance settles, till a sudden June swoon leave us out of tune, torn, when the last rose is left inconsolably bereft, rudely shorn of...

A black ringlet curls to lie at the nape of her neck, glistening with sweat in the evaporate moonlight ... This is what I remember now that I cannot forget. And tonight, if I have forgotten her name, I remember: rigid wire and white lace half-impressed in her flesh ... our soft cries, like regret, ... the enameled white clips of her bra strap still inscribe dimpled marks that my kisses...
