Reminiscent Poems

Immortality

Over so many years

Sprang so many fears

Creating so many tears

And pain to surpass my peers

Growing an aching burn

For a desire to yearn

Which is overhead

Yet over my grasp, broken once I learn

Captured in my soul, with my mind's eye

Where my dreams dwell, sprouting high

Alluding to a time not unforeseen, hidden in the sky

Fortune favors the brave,

Melancholy - Reminiscent

Mutual grief and joy to I
Euphoria reverses to dysphoria
Lessons learnt warmly
Action speaks louder than word
No regret with bitter aftertaste
Colour varied, bright against dull
Hope invites its beautiful face
Owning emotion rare and true
Looking ahead, lighter walk in step
Young at heart, never give up.

reminiscent of faeries and elves
lemon dipped wings, flitting in the verdant grasses
taking dainty sips of dew off pink crepe myrtles
magical tango of life, reminiscent of faeries and elves
mystical majesty reminding us of childhood whimsy

Progress In Motion

I guess the reason of god is to provide a blue print for right and wrong. A fabled story or a endless song. 
From Our Father to Ramadan and the candles of Hanukkah. 
Where I’m from a sin is a sin.
Truthfully I commit, that’s why I forgive.
The sky is the limit now I fly in

The Moorings of Yesterday

The Moorings of Yesterday

Looking out at the moorings of yesterday, wondering what was.
The long pier of forgotten purpose skeletal remains peaking above the surface of ancient waters

Attempting to peer through the fog that is tomorrow,
Wondering what will be.

A moment in time to displace the here and now,
To dream of history’s future.

A day dream of a

Reminiscent

I lie here in the placid darkness
Silent and still all around
I am reminded of a night as such
When love we unknowingly found.
Indeed, it was a long time ago
Although still feeling like yesterday
And that alone calmly reassures me
Together, we've come a long way. 
I do know it's not quite the same
Lately, we drive each other insane
But

The 70s Kids

We are the crying children of the 70’s,
 not much changes inside ‘other than knowing better now ,what undoubtedly would have been the keys to the kingdom back then .

We are the innocent generation of comic trusting gullibility ‘the worry of our world and blame For its care or lack of ‘now placed firmly upon

Remember Being Reminiscent

Remember Being Reminiscent

We really remember being reminiscent,
Of the time together that we had spent;
Time of year,
Do love dear;
Each of the things to us that they meant.

Brunswick Beacon of Shallotte,

Reminiscent

Lets get in the car,
Go far and chose to lose time deep in my mind there you are,
Drive into the night and ignore the calls,
If this is so good how can it be so wrong?
Looking at the stars falling so long, 
Looking at the stars most of them gone,
Believe me we can take it easy

Being Reminiscent of Concupiscent

Being Reminiscent of Concupiscent 

Often reminds me of being reminiscent
Of days when were all concupiscent
With several great strides was glamorous
And also enjoyed being amorous.

After all actions were over and done
For President he did decide to run
And what will be his greatest glitches
Making fun of someone that twitches.

Gold Star Mother he badly abused
Her husband mishandled and

Reminiscent of the America I Knew

Seventy years have come and gone as though
 it was a watch in the night, 
and if we would choose to turn back the clock 
we can’t even if we tried with all of our might.

I was born right after WWII ended
in a time of buildup in our now and

Reminiscent of a Matisse- Poem 5

Acrylic is an exuberant technique
giving life to colors so unique,
reminiscent of a Matisse.

The pine-scented breeze drifts
from mounts to hills,
an ambient of skylarks trills. 

The French Autumn landscape
with mounts and lake,
an escape for the elite.
 
The noon holds mystique,
away from harsh critique 
paints lovely Bernadette. 

The delicate cotton canvas
is too small to contain all images;
the artist,

It Warms My Reminiscent Heart

It warms my reminiscent heart
When Christmas preparations start
When the bells of Christmas chime
I am taken back to happy times
With special friends and family
And all the Christmas memories
When Christmas preparations start
It warms my reminiscent heart

Reminiscent Heart

There's a flower revival beyond my window pane,
Where velvet petals of fragrant rose remains.
Spring renewal spurns the colder freeze,
And casts love upon a floral breeze.

Pixies steal ribbons from a maiden’s room,
So her long loose tendrils catch nature’s bloom.
A green carpet of grass stretches beneath her feet,
While her beau makes her toes curl with kisses so
