Recollects Poems | Examples

Personal History

Everyone is significant in their own perception.
For the eyes recollects life experiences and
Life’s history about one’s inner enlightenment of personal 
recollective of one’s true character of one’s heart,
mind, body and soul.

Reflections of one’s divine unadulterated selves.

Purple Pansies

Poetry is a mystic, sensuous mathematics of fire
smokestacks, waffles, pansies, people,
and purple sunsets.

                                  Carl Sandburg


PURPLE PANSIES

A pensive-pansy bouquet,
vibrant diffusion of lot,
Borscht belt, Catskill-sunshine core,
platonic petals of thought.

Purple pansies are childhood,
of God’s wide-eyed creation,
innocence in royal cloak,
a roused imagination.

Deft purpleness recollects,
not grandma’s frilly feast days -
a sixty’s mod Easter dress,
painted nails of royal praise.

Fresh fairyland apogee 
o’er green-sea, circular bowl.
Petal’s shades of light and dark -
a poet’s purple, vibrant soul.

Halting By

You, stirring me in the head 
Like a warm current 
Flowing With the glimmering light 

I, seeing the passers-by 
Hurrying to and fro 
Along different roads 

You and I, coming across 
As fast as flashes in course 

But we must admit: 
Humans differ from other lives 
By making memorize 
That always recollects

Spirit Born Out of Despair

Disappointed she bends on her knees 
    Ears shut, not to catch his brutal words anymore
         Spilling her painful tears on the floor
     Desperately prays for her dilemma to freeze!

                      Mind recollects.....

           Soon after her wedding ceremony
    Life started pedalling her emotions strangely
        Darkness had swallowed her insanely;
      And lamely egressed her love harmony.

        He thwarted her from achieving goals
                Surrendering to his orders,
              She feared to cross borders
          Neither sneaked out for short strolls.

             Will she opt for a mutual divorce?
          Unable to bear the impact of desertion
        How long can she survive with no affection?
     Unhealthy relationship might not reinforce;

                     She needs to sort out
                   As this is utter ridiculous
                   Being very meticulous
                   With a well planned rout ..!

Implicit Memories

That regretful half-cracked smile,
That "Guess I'll see you in a while ..."
The way you tip your hat and nod your head,
Conveys all the things we left unsaid.
And just like that your at the door.
My eyes stay focused on the floor.
The hopeful look upon your face
Turns resolute when I don't give chase.
And then you're gone and I'm alone.
Escaping time whilst on my phone.
So I light a cigarette,
And shed what tears that I dare let.
From painful thoughts the mind protects.
But still my heart forever recollects.

Zeal Is Contagious

“The park’s the bestest place I know.
I hope you’ll take me there today.”
Four-year-old Bud would get his way.
His Papa also likes to go
to watch the lively children play.

Bud rushed right to the carousel
and claimed “the horsey I like best.
He’s magic. He’s not like the rest!”
His Papa recollects quite well
his own fun fancies lived with zest.

Bud’s magic horsey comes alive,
not at the park; but many nights,
he takes him on fantastic flights.
Though Magic leaves when dawn arrives,
the daytime holds its own delights.

A Moment's Worth of Being

Situation

Switch off mind’s clutter and swish with your soluble soul
Seize the second swirl away seizure’s silent convulsions
Sequence sequesters surpass surreptitious soliloquies

Resistance

Ruminating reason and ravenous rapture restrict and resurface
Reticent roads as they relinquish romance and rhapsody’s roar
Re-infest the refuge re-establish revulsive rigid riposte in return

Peace

Paint pastels’ panache peruse provident past pastures
Pack pipe dreams and perilous pitfalls persist and perceive
Proceed to pink palettes of plentiful panorama and passion


                 Every day He Searches Recollects and Ponders when all he

Might think of is to breathe in and out without thought

Choose

A wise man does not forget his past doings
He recollects them for future undoings
He grabs them with his tight fist and shouts of how he went through them all
Totally he does not allow them to cause his future fall

Time and lessons are moremeaningful than love that lasted
For they are the ones that make us all erected
Deep in a sea of thought and past vicious missions
We choose nobility and clear visions.

Garden and the Bees

Beauty sets in my wide open eyes
The skies radiance of hue becomes me
I am a flower - I bloom
Colorful flowers transpire in the mind
The troubled rain nourishes in doom
In the beauteous gardens - I am surrounded
I speak - the poppy enlightens
The roots root bound are grounded
My heart opens as I'm blossom
Hark !  I see a bud in disguise
The suns rays twinkle in daylight
And the bee swarms to my open face
With the buzz mute to my lifted ear
It listens and recollects what I hear
The sound of the raindrops true may be doom
Yet I speak -to the bee and the bloom...

Water

I’m water flowing back in time
The past is everything you know about me
My purity reflected on their facial features
Only strangers meet me in the future

In the flow of tears at heartbreak 
In the perspiration of gruelling muscle ache
Into the tingle of a blissful splash  
And the scintillating hair-raising rush

Airborne just above a timed collapse
When all you thought about me has elapsed
Losing shape in all the directions I disconnect
And where the constant flow once more recollects

Oblivion

Oblivion's a lonely place,
   Where no one wants to be.
   No ladder of success to climb,
   Or bathe in victory.
   Forgotten swirling mists of time,
   A lock without a key.
   Where out of sight it will remind,
   No hope just misery.
   Unworthiness without a thought,
   That stifles any plea.
   It neither recollects the past,
   Nor how it used to be.
   Insouciance with no concern,
   It's vacant stares agree.
   Oblivious, how it disregards,
   It's silent cruelty.

River of Love

The river flows in a one way ticket
Drew memory of the dreaming man
Followed water level like a picket
In the rainy season, the water spans

Water becomes shallow in summer
He recollects his long loving days
Spent in the sweet and sour clutters
Finally, like the river she went away

He believed relationship was durable
The family bind lacked the continuity
The seasonal water to be comparable

River and love passed by definitely
His heart fulfilled by self-compassion
Living will never be full of perfection

My Insolent Heart

My insolent heart
is audacious.
It dives into your words
Feels your presence,
Makes love to you
Shamelessly. 
My insolent heart 
Knows the truth
That 
you are unreachable.
still 
it ventures around old memories, 
recalls ,
recollects and 
reconnects 
Irresistibly. 
My insolent heart
Takes me away from sanity
Gives me a false hope.
Makes me irrational
Causes irreparable 
Damages.
My insolent heart 
Knows no boundaries 
It immigrates to a forbidden land where 
love breaks the barrier.
I wonder why my heart is insolent. .
YOUR BLUE EYES 
Your blue eyes 
Your  blue eyes

Sleepiness

Sleepiness

There alone before
my computer
Fighting the sleep
that creeps like
looter
My brain is
sluggish,lids are
dragging
Against my eyeball
that rolls like a
marble..

I poke the keyboard
My fingers sometimes
miss and slip
It takes a few seconds
to punch the next
quip
As I am about to
start, my eyes close
their own
Again I am in a
limbo, swirling into
the unknown

Suddenly, I open my
lids and find
my hands on the
waiting keyboard
Squinting my heavy
eyes to find the
words
I end up typing the
wrong chord

My thoughts are like
winding road
Focus is the least I
could load
Oh, I need to finish
this piece, I said
Or else I forget,
what I've read

But my eyes can't
connect
What my mind
recollects
Finally my body
slumps over the
board
And I surrender 
To a triumphant
slumber...

To Our Mother

To My Mother
    You have created us to establish the love
                            In this earth
    You have fed us by your blood to sow the
              Seed of sacrifice in this land
    You have hold our fingers in all our grieves
           To show the divinity of a mother

   We the ungrateful dogs forgotten you
      On the lust of newly wedded wives
    We may hit many times by our words and  actions
       You just ignored everything with your smile
    Your words 
       Echoes in all our needy times 
    As a slogan to achieve our goals
     Your kindness 
     Recollects the mercy of God
                             To Our Mother
     Your love on me[us]
      Refreshes this earth as fresh and new always
