Walk along the ridges, 
Pay for your pretty bridges, 
Subsist in subsistence
Regard me without difference
I am a stow-away forgetfulness

Inspiration, 
enemy of sleep,
I to my desk at midnight
remember, remember.

Forgetfulness,
enemy of age,
remember, remember,

Premium Member Forgetfulness

Forgetfulness is more than a habit with me I work hard at it, trying not to remember [or use up my limited memory] on facts I can Google!

Forgetfulness

doubting pillows, beneath my head rest
unsure of their man-made softness
under my mind, questions crest
conversing with my thoughts
eyes decide to quest
seeking only
reminders
forget
not

Premium Member After Forever

After forever
footsteps wash gently
from the sand
each grain
a sacred moment
straining to touch
a sunset
adrift 
in an abyss
of adarkening
forgetfulness.

Dream Life

An endless dream,
Created by me during my life,
Full of peopled worlds,
And created yellows,
But if life was richness,
And forgetfulness emptiness,
What happens when we remember our worst nightmare?
Form:

Civilization Lost

Stone homes of ancient memories
Sentinels sleeping under white
Locked in a fading breath
Of the long lost keeper.
Life trapped in timeless glass
Glimpsed amid weathering bones
Outlining the ways of forgetfulness.

Premium Member Nostalgic

Nostalgic--
Life has been 
like riding fiery waves 
in the belly of the beast—
Memories of my rusty old past
hanging somewhere on the fringe
of disbelief and forgetfulness…
Never to be re-told in truth or sequence.

Premium Member We Keep Our Broken Toys

IN OUR YOUTH
WE HAD SUCH FUN
WE PLAYED HARD AND ROUGH
WE GREW WITH THEM

WE AGED WITH TIME 
WE AGED FROM WEAR
TO PART WITH THEM 
WOULD NOT BE FAIR

AGE AND WEAR 
HAVE CHANGED US SO
BUT EVEN WITH THE FORGETFULNESS OF TIME AND AGE
WE REMEMBER THOUGH

Premium Member Without

Without a sense of mystery
Life is without magic

Without curiosity
Life is without novelty

Without love
Life is without joy

Without uncertainty
Life is without conviction

Without forgetfulness
Life is without realization

I Forgot

Oh dear! Oh dear! What is this?
Something seems to be amiss
Before so sure was I
But now am left to wonder why
For what compelled my short sojourn
Has left me now in but a turn
For in the span from there to here
All thought for naught has disappeared

Little Forgetfulness

For too long your feet
alter to a bloody mess.
Tired of having one 
gory pulp inside your shoes,
you yearn to have a
little of forgetfulness.
Since for real stopping
isn't feasible ever.

Go to where all the pictures
are greasy, and get some peace.

In the Castle of Poetry

you write and write until
you take off onto your orbit to await your birth,
death,
or love,
to face your gods,
obey like a blind man,
to say your prayer: thank you, God, thank you for being so good to me
and blessing me with a certain amount of forgetfulness

Mighty Tower

What good is a tower
That tower's so high
If built by the hand's
Of indifference
Forged with the steel
Of forgetfulness,
That which last a thousand
Years',
Oh, Mighty Tower
You tower so high
But your stained windows'
Conceal your brightness
Within

GOLDEN YEARS (triple Haiku)

and where to from here?
see those gray mists gathering
questions answered soon

oh!    So many years
why? ‘twas only yesterday
same eyes looking out

where has the time gone?
forgetfulness is soothing
but where to from here?

Day Dream

I dream of what will be,
What is for thee,
To behold the beauty,
The sky at night,
What will be for thee,
All round me I see,
The light from dreams,
born to the void of forgetfulness,
Light from within that once burn bright,
Now lies beyond the realm of lost dreams.
Form: Lyric

Some Place Beyond

Beyond the wee-filled hollow…
A silver-dancing stream, is found             
Washing the trembling stones 
Along, the cool banks of forgetfulness…
Willow walked the beaten trail,
Warm tears stained her wind-struck face
As rain, drawn by the remains of a forgotten love...

Premium Member What Is a Memory

What Is A Memory Miracle Man 2/6/2022 Memories, are mere shadows of the former. Past tensed matters that have risen temporally, above forgetfulness. Moments that rest in mind’s corners, and like Unabated wind, they exist, until snatched by time.

Premium Member Present Peace


 
Peace is the presence here
Our deepest longing and fear
So noisy thoughts and shouldfulness
Yield a cover of forgetfulness
When we forget the striving
The cunning and conniving
Release judgment and resent
Then peace is our present.

Premium Member Saved by the bell

absorbed in contemplation
wherein time disappears 
save by the alarm clock ringing
we cannot return to this world
to perform the chores we need to do
or have so decided to undertake

call it forgetfulness 
or a priority shift
we now activate 
timer on our phone

otherwise the eggs will over boil
