Long ago

He left me
long ago
I couldn't let him
go
I wasn't ready
I made him stop
his body stayed
but he did not.

Long Ago

Let me go, set me free
For i can no longer bear the torment
Of moments past, such memories
Yearnings of old, too ancient

My Anniversary Today

My Anniversary Today, August 17

Married forty-one years ago today…
   the unspoken poem therein 
        writes itself…

Premium Member Long Ago

Long ago the roses bloomed 
In briars brown and Smokey gray
Now the buds have slowly swooned
Downtrodden brambles in their wake

A Hour Ago

Must've been daylight savings time
For a hour ago
You loved me
You liked me
You used me
An hour ago you wasted my time
A hour ago


Happy Christmas Long Ago

Some
empty
places at
the table now:
sore reminders of good times together.

Custom presume is pagan
Habits that they had.

Watching TV Series on Stonehenge

Seems like long ago

Things were different

Unnoticed we let them slip away

Victim of loneliness, we strayed

How could we let it happen?

Chic Ago

Chicago is blowing around
And Oprah has not made a sound
Hefner is dead
So Gershon said,
"Guess what?  Your face mask has been found!"

Cards on spikes
On the bikes we rode

The Long Ago

In the long, the long ago.
A creature crawled from 'neath the mire,
And centuries and centuries hence,
You see him in York Minster's spire.

A Long Time Ago

Oh what a time.
I could spend on a dime.
Everything wine and cherry time.
Deep fellow of mine.
Oh it feels like a crime.
Here is Ten Dimes.

YEARS AGO

I cared for you
But your betrayal
Left me hurt, as for me
Now and forever
You’re in my past
Never to be renewed

A Year Ago

He read a poem 
I wrote yesterday
and told me it was great
So I liked him

He read a poem
I wrote a year ago
and told me it was awful
So I loved him

Premium Member Long Ago, It Seems

Long ago and far away, it seems
We laughed and sang and played in dreams

      Now glued fast to noise and news
   We traverse a world of electronic hues

Not Long Ago

I fell flat on my heart
It was scraped on the outside,
and crushed on the inside;
However, neither did I lose
any part of it
nor any blood,
But my spirit;

Premium Member A memory of long ago

A long-ago

Memory

Is an appearance

Arising for no

Separate one..

No time or space

A memory

Appearing anyway

In seeming time

And space...

Long Ago In the British Empire

Long ago in  the British empire,
Lived extremely gentle vampire.
He, before lay in a coffin,
Loved to drink cup of coffee
And sing songs with guitar by campfire.

Untitled #24 / Two Weeks Ago

Two weeks ago I could stroll
along the riverside happy smiling in peace
Where’d it go?
And can the Timbuktu of tomorrow really
be closer than my home of yesterday?

Memories of Long Ago

i remember
how the earth
forgot to be real
that early October morning

i remember 
when it stopped turning
on a false summer 
January day


by Janetta (1986)

Life Was Easier Years Ago

Life was easier years ago.
In term of health and money so.
Yet, I think we are very wise.
Old songs are very beautiful. 
Of activities we were full.
Is it or otherwise?

While most view T-Rex as extinct
To a romping reptile Don's linked!
Their shared DNA
Lets the T-Rump say:
We’ll stampede with orders I’ve inked

30 Years Ago

Lost freedom no more Byron
free speaking but felt in iron

Then we said what we thought
now we just say what we ought

Let us sit down now on the carpet and talk of sad stories

Ago Short Time Wrote a Rhyme

Ago Short Time Wrote a Rhyme

While ago which was a short time,
About Trump had written a rhyme;
Strange and odd;
Thinks is God,
And did decide to expand his prime.

Quite a While Ago

Quite A While Ago

This poem was written long time ago,
And being that I always write so slow;
Lead poet's life,
With no strife;
So found them in sleep when I will go.
