It occurs, the brilliant light
Pulses once to blight the sight
Backflash lit in memory seared
Fades to fondest wish endeared

The Kiss of Eternity

a kiss 
upon the lips
can linger
in memory

a kiss
upon the heart 
touches

a kiss
upon the soul
can never 
be erased

Letting Go

Is time but a reference
to prey and confound

(while)

In memory eternal
—enlightenment found

I'll think of you
when skies are blue
and birds of summer
sing.

but in the velvet 
arms of night
i'll see you in
my dreams.

In Memory of a Bard

I caught like a catcher your star,
it in you out in me now alight,
and like you I play my guitar,
death in life to be won by delight.

Snapshot

Lost in memory; 
Wasted breath and time take toll.
The minds eye, can be so cruel
Snapshots of fading moments;
Laughter and a love long dead.

Face down, dirty,
her damp hands 
flutter and stream
in memory of pure bliss’
hot breath of life,
her self-murder
a-way into
the shadow on her eyes.

Nature Talk

Trees speak in whispers,
words dance within leaves, rustling.
Roots deep hold secrets
whilst barks break in memory.
Birds answer a question, lost.
Form: Tanka

Cameras

Single eyed the cameras,
Talk on click,
Smile on flash,
Save in memory like people,
Speak the truth,
Trusted witnesses,
In camera like their names!

Tomorrow's Dream

A pound of silver,
  will never buy
  an ounce of hope

Its invoice blank,
  in memory
  of tomorrows dream

to gaze
into my eyes,
what do you see?
what history of me
remains..
in memory-
an epitaph of yesterday,
a legacy of my past;
you can imagine,but..
never see

Sing

Sing

Singing alone
A voice at the mercy of desire
Singing alone
On a lonely bed
Singing alone
In memory of herself
She sings alone
Suffering
With a song to prove it

I like to think
that if I can think it
there is way

somehow

someway

the then and now
interchangeable

each palm
holding a kingdom

the weight of my

The gate of heaven opens wide as angels on either side guide her through, while we all mourn and cry. Praising, she sits by our Lord's side. 12/14/2023

In My Heart

I feel in my heart he will stay.
He lives in my heart.
He is what I live for.
He is faithful to me, 
I am faithful to him.
We may pass on,
But our love will live on if only in memory.

Giving

To take out of life without giving in return,
is to die without accomplishment.
For what we have in life, 
can not be taken in death.
But what we give of our self's,
can be left in memory.

Statue of Liberty

so much to see 
on the statue
of liberty
from france it came
such a long way
in memory
it stands 
for freedom and liberty
crown on her head
behold
the beautiful
lady
made
of 
stone.
