Premium Memberreliving a childhood memory

monstrous giants surround me on this gentle journey
the water is winking at me as if she knows my secrets.
Simultaneously, I feel invincible and vulnerable
Memories I thought were deceased arrive unbidden

I feel a kindship to my younger brother, whom I have not seen for years.
See my mother laughing, comfortable and cozy in Daddy’s arms
A memory I

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

Reliving the Moment

His eyes were wild with angry 
He roughly shoved her out of the vehicle 
I froze, terrified 
Her life was in danger 
Or was it my life in danger 
Our lives where in danger
She was begging for mercy

Once the love of her life, 
Now a merciless monster.
Once the beloved father to her child,
Now a furious

I oft find myself reliving my youth
    uncovering uncomfortable truths
  about all of my foibles and most of my sins
    O, Lord! What condition my poor soul is in... 

  Whether daydreams or nightmares 
    each one gives me a scare

Reliving a Living Nightmare

Slowly falling backwards in fast forward, slipping quickly in rewind
Everything has been said and done , envy and jealousy orchestrates the emptiness of your mind
A futile release riddled with confusing censored free speech gone blind with  cold silence
Seemingly progression can't be made without the hunger for some violence
All elements of daily routines become stagnant and

Twas a lot like reliving my stay

Premium MemberI Am Still Reliving That Drive

I’m still reliving that drive 
‘What are you thinking about over there?’
You deserve the world, so do I
there are stars in your eyes

‘What are you thinking about over there?’
Let this car take us the wrong way 
there are stars in your eyes 
again, and again in my mind

Let this car take us the wrong way
You

She has long since left her childhood behind
but there are days 
she looks outside 
and sighs…
days she longs to run without a care 
finding faces in the clouds 
and chasing butterflies

Reliving

a sinister reminder
of tortures of the past
is causing me to flounder
in deep shadows cast
     been through this before
     thought it had been conquered
     never again to abhor
     nor have to be endured
who threw the flag?
why this penalty?
team's beginning to

Reliving Barefoot Memories

Barefoot on the sand 

is it a warm place
that I dabble my toes
in the inviting water?
Say it is so, it has
been so dreary here.
I really need to escape
to a place the sun shines.

Sparkling and glimmering
crystals catch my attention
like a child discovering a
diamond or a new toy.

If only I could be barefoot
walking along the beach
every day

Premium MemberReliving Those Special Moments

If it wasn't for the old Poetry Soup
Keeping my brain active and alive
I'd be a candidate for an old folks home
My mind is in overdrive

Still got lots to say and do
Before my final day of departure
This old world should sit up and take notice
And that is just for starters

My brain is literally bursting apart
Waiting to

Reliving Upside Down
                     by Odin Roark

The Jungle Gym geodesic glistened,
Afternoon showers dripped,
Languorous droplets fell, 
Saturating sand below,
Just like then.

Bench of parents
Reflected memories old,
Stroller wheels struggling,
Obstinate sand as obstacle,
Giggles and screeches
From canopy covered pram,
Bumpy ride for

Reliving the Past

Sitting cross legged beside a bonfire 
Flipping though old photos
Going back in time to the already expired
Reliving wonderful memories

There’s baby me butt naked covered in bubbles
Sister and Brother joining me too
Now I remember the greatness of having no troubles
Captured times will do that to you

A cute one of Mama when she was a girl
In black
