     Feeling nostalgic
     for the simplicity

     before innocence rubs off
     and defines us.

with my family,
my soft heart tenderly beats.
tough outside my home;
my mind focuses on things
nostalgic when I'm alone.

Old numbers,
punch ‘em in.
Hang it up. 

Nostalgic,
let it ring 
in your head.

No pressure,
broken phone 
missing keys.

I will turn the page, to a place of peace, a street of hued trees, ending with a pond, of gliding white swans.

Missing their presence while opening up their holiday presents had become a nostalgic and bittersweet ritual for them.

Splintered remnant of nostalgic suffering

May your pain erode you alike the touch of stagnation upon a rotting corpse- akin to a wilted rose stained with the stench of fear & longing.

Strange Feelings

It's so weird to be nostalgic
      of what we never had in our lives
    of what we don't have,  and we won't have 
         undisclosed mistery

Forward and Backward

Pumping up perky paces
Prospective previews streak into wishing well
Trimming down tranquil traces
Nostalgic tears sneak out of eye socket parallel

Nostalgia

I know you shall leave,
But you can take nothing of what you left behind,
I never lied, 
I speak of something nostalgic from another space of time.

Let Look To the Past

let look to the past
                                           present will be nostalgic

Shabby chic was her decor.
She thrived in that old nostalgic aura.
Catered to her prolific muse.

Siblings

Sharing parents, 
Incredible friends, 
Blood related,

If away from home, 
Nostalgic for them, 
Grown up together, 
Soul mates for ever.

Nostalgic Fluff

Days melt into memory,
and congeal into nostalgic fluff,
which comforts us,
as they are carried away on the late winds of life,
when we do not have enough..

Out of Step

Passion dances
On melancholy's nostalgic
Illusions...
Bruised,
Love surrenders, shrieking laughter,
Under life's raging reality...
Then silence!

Winter, Abroad

The melody of memory is farming a low note,
drawing out the sonorous tones of your voice on the phone.
‘Hello.’ Have I always been this nostalgic for warmth?
