Premium MemberRemembering Marvin

For my friend Marvin here is a grateful song,
Woven from the memory of shared years.
His loyalty was legend his whole life long,
And his laughter like music even provoking tears.
.
Marvin was one of extraordinary style,
And a woven tapestry of compassion.
He was a steady star all the while,
Who lead with the keenest of a champion.

May this tribute

Premium MemberSalmon Sunset

Salmon horizon beguiles as I towel dry
'pon a muted canvas morphs hues at sunset.
The lake decants of its waders and pontoons.  
Mirror waters tranquil—a soothing elixir.
Tidy up and make camp for the night.

The campsite invited blissful slumber: 
Glassy water gloaming our tryst.
Castaic an artificial lake clears at dusk.  
A picturesque sunset took hold.
Behold

Premium MemberSeeing Your Life As A Movie

Take a long look at your life
no matter its length of years
whether that be short or long
look at how significant its sphere

Make your life like a movie
what would your part be to play?
a starring role or just a bystander
being humble or arrogant, would you say

Thinking aloud about your life
starting from your first day of birth
moving

Premium MemberUnforgettable

We talked a lot, we shared some dreams
My very special friend
And though you might not do the same
I'll love you 'til the end
In time the memories gather dust
Their sharpness not as fine 
Into the background fade they must
But always they'll be mine
Important though the details not
Remember I'll at will
Your smile recalled on the spot
You're unforgettable

Fading memories

Memories are like the delicate smoke in air,
Some are fresh and vivid, while some are fading slowly,

The intoxicating fragrance that is still alive,
While writing these twelve minutes have died,

Just yesterday white bloom was glowing under the twilight,
But now only one petal has been left behind,

Inhaling the smoke as they once were my sweetest memories,
But now

Premium MemberThe Mirror

As a youngster
I used to pull faces – 
‘just because’ – 
and practiced it in front of the mirror.
This morning the mirror took revenge.

At the rebellious age of thirteen,
I sneaked eyeliner past my mother;
squinting for ages in front of the mirror
to get a fine line in equal lengths.
Now I squint to put in my contacts

All Of The Little Things Our Little Brains Choose To Remember For A Short Little While

Isn’t it odd?
All of the little things
that remain in our
little brains?

One day, you’ll
be walking down the
street, just minding your
own business, when suddenly
you’ll stop.

A sight,
A sound,
A scent,
A memory,

Something you have
never seen, heard, smelt,
or even experienced before
will catch your incomplete attention
so completely.

And send you to
the most magical of
places.

Something from your
childhood,

Something from the
small town you drove through
last autumn.

Something

Telling my Friend about the Sky

Restless clouds hide
the sun and stars
as I drive alone.
A voice on the radio
asks what is important
now. My bones ache
and I embrace my dreams
as clouds pass overhead.
The voice talks about visions
of children as their lives lie
ahead, but I am older. 
The tires on my car sing 
as I embrace the moment,
but memories find their way
back to

Premium MemberSMALL RECALLS

Each morning You lift Your gleaming golden crown
And awaken me with a divine and pristine light.
So now I thank You Lord for allowing me around,
Relaxing in Your comfort for this long night.
You give me strength to step bravely on the way,
Remembering the Good Samaritans in my life.
I plod on a path of pleasant feelings about

Somewhere

I saw you there
sitting alone in a corner
while our classmates played.
The look in your eyes—
longing to belong
but fearing to fall.
We were seven then,
in all the chaos,
still finding our places.
You noticed me or not,
I never knew,
but I saw you smile
when you saw the chocolate
I hid in your bag.
Then… one day, your seat was empty.
The next day,

Premium Member- Heart In The Right Place -


  Memories from childhood summers
  still tickling my stomach
  Through overgrown paths
  Red painted farmhouse
  where flowers and weeds grew in harmony
  It seems as yesterday, but it is long ago

  Outbuilding with a heart on the door
  Didn't exactly smell as roses
  A carefree shed,

Premium MemberHalf-and-Half Between

half light on the page
words spill yet swallow their truth
a moon veiled in clouds —
I read between the shadows
for the part you did not write

half a tear is mine
half I give to other hands
to carry its weight
shared grief breaks into pieces
small enough for hearts to hold

half my breath holds on
half my breath has wandered free
seeking

Where the wildflowers grow

When i die,
Lay me by
Where the wildflowers grow

Then as I lay,
You can pray
For my presence to ‘round you flow

And as winter calls,
And the ice falls
And makes my grassy mound rise with snow

Let spring bloom,
Flowers on my tomb
Grow in the sun’s heat and the wind’s gentle blow

As summer rises,
Bringing heat to new sizes
And away my spirit
