Eclipsed Soul
Rock my memories,
Pieces of 'flashback' fall out from inside, 
It was sepia fantasy and fake blessings,
That came in brief but eclipsed my soul....

Relieve
flashback 
once again 
reliving 
moments past 
each time 
all to familiar old 
mental pictures 
come rushing 
back into view
drugging up 
buried emotional 
remains...

Road Trip 1
Oasis on sixty-six
beckons weary travelers.
One step off the chosen path.
Nostalgic flashback.


This poem was inspired by my stay at the Blue Swallow Motel on Historic Route 66 in Tucumcari, NM....

Lost Angel's Love
What is the use of a tear
When my heart is already broken
Opportunities flashback
Chances come and forgotten
It’s always too late
And never too early
I’ve lost you my love
Your angel’s love...

Back In Time
Listening to oldies 
Is a flashback through your mind.
Letting the disco, rock and roll, and pop
Take you back to that time
Where life was left on the dance floor
And you had to be “Stayin’ Alive, Stayin’ Alive”....

Deja Vu
Like if I'm living in a flashback.
I don't learn.
I get burned.
I will take you back.
Nothing changes but the place and time.
I fall for the lies each time.
I must be dense.
I keep going back for a repeat....

Flashback
He looks for her in every face he sees
In hope of just one more glance
Lost in the thought captures his breath
Lids closing over in memory a flashback
Beats thumping hard exploding in his chest
His experience of love - that he once had...

Flashback
These memories are just phantoms 
the dust of demons long since destroyed 
why does the mind always betray 
maybe this what it means to be human 
they are the ashes of ancient ruins 
from a long forgotten war 
whose only spectator was me...

Lost Memories Define
Traveling the world in my mind,
 ghosts linger behind

Traveling the world in my mind,
each flashback a sign

Traveling the world in my mind,
space harder to find

Traveling the world in my mind
—memories define

My Artwork Is In the Raindrops of Your Memory
my artwork is in the raindrops of your memory
my yearning for flashback fantasy motivates me to confront you
as the miniature blocks of ice begin to form on the desert of my lips,
i suddenly remember why i always douse acid in the eyes of the awnings of my mind.......

Premium Member Chastity Vow- Double Tanka
Full and luscious lips
Tempting treat to hungry eye
Flashback memories
Hot lips in constant pursuit
Now chastity vow taken

Other lips await
Longing to explore and claim
Willing travelers     
Virgin lips in cherry red
Chastity vow forgotten

Flashback
Swallowing darkness is ahead
One is never prepared
A conclusion lies wake 

Warmth is at your back
They know you cared 
Warmth is fading 
You clench your fists
Grind your teeth
Shut your eyes

“No, this isn’t fine”

“It’s alright, how about….
One last time”...
