Chip Friends

Chip Friends

Long ago my chip friends had 
abandoned me. My inborn muteness is 
highly offensive, but 
legendary.

Long ago

He left me
long ago
I couldn't let him
go
I wasn't ready
I made him stop
his body stayed
but he did not.

Long Ago

Let me go, set me free
For i can no longer bear the torment
Of moments past, such memories
Yearnings of old, too ancient

Sunday

not so long ago 
i raced the sun home 
to sleep half this day away 
now, with children of my own 
i beg this day to stay


Fire

It started so long ago
From the beginning mankind 
With persistence and smoke 
And a glimmer of hope 
We rally in its wake

Christmas

Christmas comes just once a year
But now days it starts in November.
Long ago it was just one day
As far as I can remember.

Thankful be I
   for my small  
   memory chips,
Those short film clips
   of long ago   when
you weren't
just a memory.

Transformation

It does not seem long ago
I used to be somebody
Then you took your love away
Now I'm nobody

Premium Member Why Now

   What just came over him
       and why now

    Perhaps he’d stopped taking a pulse
       that froze long ago somehow

Long ago the roses bloomed 
In briars brown and Smokey gray
Now the buds have slowly swooned
Downtrodden brambles in their wake

Today I’m grateful for long ago
learning life’s secret code…
How there is no road to happiness…
how happiness…is the road.

Grandfather

In sacred gardens,
your heirloom roses ascend,
the chipped-paint trellis—
in yesterday’s reflections,
where petals fell long ago

Kentucky Home

Kentucky Home by Jami

My home is where my dreams were made
I left so long ago
I pray I find my home again
no matter where I go

Reawakening Flow

Methods...
Of movement.
The flailngs of my mind.
Seen long ago,
And again...
I'm a contradiction of seasons.
A cycling paradox.

Epic Extract

Sing me a sweet song
of brave and heroic men
long ago passed on

(for some unknown reason, this popped into my head…no reason…odd)
Form: Senryu

He Is the Miracle

He is the miracle
That made an insomniac sleep
A broken heart dream
A quiet girl sing
With a voice she
Thought she'd lost
Long ago

Winter heart so cold My fire extinct long ago In ice, hail and fog Small embers of love remain Only you can rekindle

Happy Christmas Long Ago

Some
empty
places at
the table now:
sore reminders of good times together.

Long, Long Ago

Long, Long Ago

Was long, long ago
Custom presume is pagan
Habits that they had.

Watching TV Series on Stonehenge
now.

Premium Member Long Ago

Seems like long ago

Things were different

Unnoticed we let them slip away

Victim of loneliness, we strayed

How could we let it happen?

Widow's Fire

Capture tranquil raindrops from long ago...
dew drops beyond wealthy,
where sunlight stones widows
desolate,eroded,silent cold tears...

E T Is Home

Aliens came to earth long ago
but no-one had any suspicions 
taking over the world, and it worked
and they called themselves politicians
