Short Anguishing Poems

Memories are all I have,
Intense and suffocating.
Churned out emotions needing salves
Healed, yet unrelenting

Abject surrender to your wiles
Embittered by time
Looming reminiscence of your smiles
Sealed in my mind

Anguishing on a future lost
Grieving over what once was, 
Agonizing at what it has cost
Remembering mem'ries of a distant past...

Tranquility unleashed
within the woods resides,
fountain of music
Every passing hour breeds
tunes unheard 
awakening senses

Diffused among rooted beings,
the ignored melodies seep in,
either pristine or  reprise.
A recurring thud,
anguishing  realisation 
Maligned ears of the modern
will never bear these old  tales....

T hat gives to some and uncommon sense of face
I dling not within the static shell, the unnoticed place.
O nly movement brings the eye, the heart to hold, the rise
N o stone unrolled can bring an accolade to such as I.
