Karen Carpenter, Relived
Granted, Karen was on Top of the World,
her passionate voice brought her Close to You,
We've Only Just Begun, her gems hid pearled,
her Rainy Days and Mondays changed our view.
Bless the Beasts and Children, expressed warm peace,
The Night Has a Thousand Eyes, sleep awhile,
to being Solitaire, Walk On By, please,
Make It Easy on Yourself. Rest a

The Last Time Relived
I fell for it again; because I am easy and forget
I keep forgiving, and when I do, it is over.
So here I am, giving him another check,
To pay his rent, a one time deal
Just like last month and the month before
No wait, it was not rent the month before
It was grocery money. His social security

Moments Relived
infectious decay
of old age
promising ritual
but I can't comprehend
why you left so fast
parted your bony corpse
that precise fur
gleaming fall coat
the black and orange-
a contrast so unique
so perfected
why does age creep up-
eliminating your organs
toying with your mind
into accepting the fate-
death
and though each death withholds happiness
smiles are forgotten
we use the muscles to avoid tears-
those that are supposedly helpful

My Lost Moments Can Be Relived
So many wonderful days
I have missed being apart;
ah, they're limitless to count
with their charming, romantic ways!
A delicate, pleasant scent I left
on those young lips softer than velvet;
oh, it must have been the sweetness
of my Valetine's chocolate kisses!
My lost moments can be relived through past memories...
if I dare to look back, making believe time stood

War Relived
I seem, as I truly seem,
not stating, what is, in my mind.
Experiencing am I, of a, past moment.
A moment, I just, can not leave behind.
Remembering like it, was yesterday,
again, to me, the past, seems so real.
Becoming a part, of the moment, in the role,
with the same emotions, that I feel.
Away was I, from the familiar,
upon

Relived
i remember your eyes
looking back to my soul
just do what I’m told
how empty the feeling
giving youth away
think of what I’m trying to say.
see the room
stale drunken breath
will I pass the ultimate test
unknowing tasks ahead
planned fate in shallow roots
produced a unfeeling shell
surrounding true gifts.
Years pass by
living a disposal existence
reality facing being used
i recall your destain
once Love
