Scorching Sun
Water just a distant memory
Hyenas on the prowl...

A dream on my mind.
A far distant memory.
A smile on my lips....

a little smoke left
warmth, a distant memory
hope's fire still burning

Leaves of Autumn
   by Amy Swanson


Leaves of autumn crunch
     softly break beneath my feet
          distant memory....

Where does this road go?
Why am I here?
Everything unfamiliar
I think I'm lost
Chaos all over
Comfort a distant memory
Pain is all I find...

Yesterday will soon be a distant memory
And tomorrow will soon be long forgotten
Will you remember the things you did just a moment ago?
When will that someday be? When will that someday be?...

the rain splashing down
contemplation rear its head
placid reminders
lips tasting and exploring 
rain a distant memory

I'll be there behind you
a distant memory
I'll be there behind you
if there's anything you need
I'll be there behind you
to catch you if you fall
I'll be there behind you
that's what friends are for...

i will find you in the shadow of words, 
in the hidden signs of silent moments, 
in the eloquence of your eyes, 
in a tingling in the spine, 
in a trembling in the voice, 
in a distant memory
be there........

Yesterday is a distant memory.
Tomorrow, a small glimpse of hope. 
Today, in your arms, is all I've ever wanted.

Yesterday is an ever present, unbearable pain. 
Tomorrow, a small glimpse of hope. 
Today, without you, is what I never wanted....

young spoiled royalty

old boiled loyalty

welcome in a new century

say goodbye to a
different part of me

solid clarity of a distant memory

transparent promises of  
around the corner fantasies 

it looks like I created another
beautiful monstrosity...

Fall
Enjoy
the colors
A sure winner
smell of fresh crisp air
At its most beautiful
Darkness and cold are coming
Distant memory of summer
When the wind howls and disturb your dream

I'm stuck in bed, 
my body wracked with pain,
My good health a distant memory. 
I see now how much I took it for granted, 
my joints so weak, 
my fever soaring like the desert's sun.
I crave a sweet dessert, 
but my tongue is numb,
This sickness a curse that I long to outlast....

The maiden aged that none can suit

The barren tree that bears no fruit

The ample hills that none can climb

A distant memory in time

The grapes of wrath that yields no wine

That rots and withers on the vine

Alas, in time will take its toll

A lost, corrupt, and vacant soul...

False smiles, your fake facade
you think it fools me
but you are so wrong

Smiling faces are
what we used to see but that
is nothing more than a distant memory

I used to have love for you
but you robbed me of that
it was totally your fault and something
you can never get back!!!!...

Dreams of living in a world free of norms 
No longer will the word sir be required 
Mam will be no more than a distant memory
Free from one's tethers and restraints 
Mentally relaxed and physically up beat
The general public soars while unified 
Infinite copilots on the flight of redemption...

Never look forward while looking backward
Ensure that your path is without obstacles
While you ponder going towards the future

Yesterdays will soon be a distant memory
Even hurtful memories will be with us today
Accept these as a learning tool to live by
Resolutions are our tomorrow footpaths...

Coffee in the morning
two eggs scrambled hard
now a distant memory
my morning breakfast with grandpa

Sitting on his knee
while he read the paper
aftershave, Old Spice I think
How it was my favorite

Feeling the love he had for me
without saying a word
The smile he had said it all
I was his favorite girl...

Summer has now gone to sleep,
And winter has her promises to keep,
She stirs slowly from her slumber deep,
You can feel her in the morning breeze,
Soon it shall be cold when winter takes her firm hold,
A distant memory now, the burning heat,
And none, ever for summer do weep,
At long last, a winter treat....

Blank presentations of nothing, obviously
A relationship of one, bringing a calming numb
Feelings getting better and better than before
Grab hold of that distant memory, then let go
Forgetfulness seems to be scarce as of late
Seems the memories that cause the most pain
Are the memories that won’t go away...

There are places within the shadows,
That rain cannot touch,
Where sound, save but for the faintest of mumbles,
Knows not either but the fractured
Affliction of itself turned inwards.
These are the knots that wrap their rage
Around distant memory,
A place where there,
But in God,
Heavy thunder dwells....

To My First Love :)



You wrap your arms around me,
and I can tell your heart is in the right place.
It gives me what I need.
I know someday the waves will come crashing down on me.
We will be apart, and this will be a distant memory.
But until that day comes,
I just want you to know..
You've inspired me....

Empty rooms and lonely walls
Silence that fills empty halls
A single man roams from room to room
Trailing fingers fill with dust
A distant memory glows and washes away the rust on a creaky stool
Memories fill a now empty pool
Memories bring a smile to the mans gloomy face
A smile for a childhood taken for granted...

Lush green trees,
Surrounds our haven of love 
The twitter of the birds, our music
The sun embraces the mountain top, 
Playfully waving goodbye to the day 

Two figures, vaguely visible
The sand creeping in between our toes,
The chilled wine, a distant memory
As you hold me close, slowly moving
Your lips over mine…...

A time of indifference 

A subdued welcome,
so visits seldom,
as we so mirror
ebbing love’s tremor.

Sans joy’s zest and zeal,
embrace lacks appeal,
like dying ember,
insipid timbre.

Playfulness childlike,
wherein bliss beats spike,
distant memory;
lustre, history.
