SIBLING REMEMBRANCES*
In the warm, sunlit corners of our childhood
where laughter spills like marbles across the floor,
I hear the echoes of our shared secrets,
each whispered promise a thread woven into the fabric
of our youthful days.

We were explorers,
mapping the terrain of our backyard kingdom,
with sticks as swords, the garden hose our river,
where we splashed and shrieked,
the world

Where did the time go,  
Slipping through calloused fingers,  
Lost to the ever-fickle wheels of fate,  
Like grains of sand swept up in the Sahara desert,  
Or bitter tears dissolving in the Dead Sea?  
All that is left of you is a portrait in the parlour,  
Hanging as a

Inside my house – inside myself
Hushed in the reckoning of my living 
I drift in streams that have taken me here.
As I contemplate my age, my years,
Now belied by restful wisdom
I am complete and unalterable.
I have come to my final destination, my end.
My mouth is agape in the sullen silence of remembrance.
My hair, a turbulent

Remembrances

Footsteps in the house?  There shouldn't be,
   not now, I've been alone so long.
Paw prints on the carpet?  I don't know why, 
   the pups crossed the rainbow bridge so long ago.
Baby steps on the hardwood?  I think not,
   the kids are grown, grandkids grown

That Lost Day

Duchess of my heart
royal monarch ruling
over hearts dominion
noble grace reigning
over souls province.

How lovely you were
that flawless visage
how dramatic then
hair elegant flowing
eyes alluring staring.

Parted lips painted
breathless your kiss
muted hushed sighs
mouth of ambrosia
sweet scented scilla.

Ever shall I remember
our amatory affection
our fervent devotion
so resplendent this
Duchess of my heart.

Premium MemberScathing Remembrances

Tainted one's brain remains
When scathing remembrances it contains
Due diligence when not fulfilled
Leave one in a state of surreal
In love matters, bitter the pill
If swallowed it will kill
memories of love gone unfulfilled
Thoughts unrequired must yield

Premium MemberDeath

Abstruse this aura of fear.
Envisioned darkness lurking near.

Ignorant to perceive what you hear.
Detached from feelings lost and unclear.

Allured by a spirit's whispers I hear.
Heed this murmur obscurity will clear.

Emerge from this somber despite the fear.
For death deceives those it draws near.

Remembrances absent in solitude for years.
Human ignorance, not god, brought forth these fears.

Our creator's proverbs

SWEET REMEMBRANCES

    Where have you been?
       I can’t find, now unseen.
    But your sweet remembrance
      your mystic fluorescence
    I preserve in my trove of treasure.
     My dormant desire to cherish in

Midnight draped in raven black haunts me with hurt memories
As tiara of stars gently winks, lustrous amid pastel skies—
Igniting breath’s comfort to bloom come dawn’s fresh epiphany.

Lest I See That She These Nativitic Remembrances Hath Sent To Me

Ere ever I send to her;
She whom I love; 
Any of the apologies and explanations of most bittersweet love:
An accounting of those regrets and remorses that I have, 
My fooleries and follies and fallacies, fair as well as fell and foul, 
That I discharged;
Ere I ever send to her, in epistolary form,
Or else that poetic

Fond Remembrances

Fond Remembrances

The months, the years, so swift pass by
 And often, I have pondered as to why
 We can't slow them as they fly
 Some moments, to savor longer

 Many pleasant times that I recall
 When I wasn't very old at all
 Flat on my back to grass I'd fall
 To watch cotton clouds, float

Fond Remembrances

Start
My dearest mother I miss you so much
As a baby I yearned for your delicate touch
May you be happy wherever you are
I always feel your presence as such

I know your dwelling now is very far
At night I see it as a twinkling star
Overshadowed by the brightness of the moon
But unlike the moon there is no

Premium MemberRemembrances of a Girl Raised On Radio

A child of the 60’s, I was raised on radio.
Times were changing, and it was a great time to live,
for the songs made you want to be good to yourself,
be happy to love and be happy to give!

By ‘69, with cosmetics I played.
The eyes of a woman from that decade were a sight!
Our lashes were

Remembrances

remembrances, of dad
so alive. now silent.

shall i speak it
shall i speak of sadness
not sorrowing grief
but inconvenient sadness

the gaps
the gaps of a father i did not know
did not understand
the child he once was
the man who lived and fathered me

the first of his siblings to die
they came and watched wordlessly
pre-occupied in scattered thoughts

the long goodbye
uttered over and

Remembrances

Remembrances 

 

Are they just pieces cluttered around? 

The letters in the box, the dried roses 

in one of the pages of my favorite books. 

They all seem, are going along with me 

like waves unknowingly push the detritus 

into the bed shore and bring them back

again to the bosom of the ocean..

 

There, they
