The Olden Days

in to the covers of sea 
i can see up a boat 

sails around us 
with blazy wind of blow
toward the shine of sun 
through the shines of moon

Love Remembered

From finite
Garner nostalgia
From olden days;
Golden rays,
Green boughs,
Soft meadows,
Stars reflecting hope.
The elder watched
The constellations,
Shaping and re-shaping.

Premium Member April Fools Day

April Fools Day remember that Back in the olden days before I took naps A young whipper-snapper Full of vim and vigor Played tricks on old people and all that crap

Senile
conversations
of long lost
  olden days
 forgotten stories
on repeat

Childhood-
remembered
  pictures
without perspective
  through a lens
close-up
just out of reach
yesterday's
  dreams

Premium Member Atear

From the womb
broken harmony and chord 
lonely
fires set deep within
perceptions unfolding

A tear at birth
flows to olden days
the longest river of sadness
raging madness

Inside that single tear
I drowned

Old Dreams, New Light

In olden days, in those years past,
We dreamt of something new.
Perhaps it was a fleeting thought,
Something we soon outgrew.
But our former dreams are meant to be resurrected,
In a fresh light, apart from all
The troubling things that are connected
With the things we once knew.

Listen to poem:
From olden days of gods and goddesses,
Most of them did not keep their promises,
When we had appeased
They mostly had teased
Today, they are just some hypothesis.

A Painted Prose

Robin, 
like last leaf 
of autumn,

clings 
to a velvet 
rose.  Ah, 

such a lovely 
scene, from painted 
prose of God, 

the Unseen- 
of which thru his artwork 
reminded me of 

a child 
holding sweet mama, 
‘til he was being 

breezed away 
into manhood, by the thrilling 
wings of her olden days.
Form: Ode

Premium Member Carrie On

Distance does not impede her grace
innocence shines on her face
carry on we say
carry us away
Write for us of those olden days
carry our mindset's to child's play.

Days come and go, but she carries
her dreams to us and memories
carry on we say
carry us away
Never leave us alone in reverie.


Dedicated to Carrie Richards

Perfecting Poison

As we decided on my fate for the week. 

Soon I would be back, sad and meek. 

And we would try another combination. 

Which I would try with hesitation. 

But this time has no chance of lasting. 

These are the olden days that are passing. 

For the future is strong. 

Just like my perception for now is wrong.

Thundered Hooves

The thundered hooves of horses wild
In faded thoughts still softly sound
From distant thunder Mustang style
The thundered hooves of horses wild
Still echo back from times beguiled
Of olden days and men renown
The thundered hooves of horses wild
In faded thoughts still softly sound.

Premium Member What Were You Guys Talking About

The daddy comes down the stairs.
So what were you guys talking about?
He is five
Thinks he is on the same level as every person on the planet
I marvel at his presumption
We would have never thought to interrogate adults
About their conversation
in the olden days
when we were kids
we might have been tossed out of the covered wagon on our rear

The End

THE SUN BURNS ON MY FACE LIKE THE CRUST OF THE EARTH.

MY FLESH FEELS LIKE DEW AS IF I WERE FRESH FROM BIRTH.

I LONGED TO HEAR UR RASPY VOICE BLOWING THRU THE TREES.

AS IN OLDEN DAYS WHEN THE SOUND WOULD BRING ME TO MY KNEES.

I'VE OFTEN WONDERED WHAT I'D SAY IF I SAW UR FACE AGAIN.

BUT NOW THAT I HAVE IT'S BITTERSWEET AND NOW THIS IS THE END!!!!!!

Premium Member The Death of a Prisoner

A woman 
Is no longer a prisoner 
In a family
Like the olden days
Now
With her own pursuits
Own interests
Own wellbeings
And
No more intensive pressures
From the mother-in-law
Or anyone else's dictatorship
A new person is born
To the society
To a new era
And now
The death of a prisoner
Has ended the miserable stories
Of women 
In the olden days

When the Birds Stop Singing-

So, it is over…
we’ll just leave the beauty and gentle touch 
of silver pillows in vain?

The memory 
of first date, 
no longer binds us?

Though, I still hear the birds, 
singing the hymns of life 
to us, who fears to look back and admit

…about olden days 
when we were together,
in love. Think about it… 

what’ll happen, when the birds stop singing…?

Justice Is Colour Blind

A blot they want to wash, detergents do not work
Ineffectual, institutional and cover ups a stir
Excuses abound, squirming hierarchy found 
"Its just a darkie, why so narky"
The corridors would sound
It still goes on, gone several years 
Distrustful patronising leaders
A scurge we hope that does not surge 
To Nazi ways and olden days
Where races they would purge

Premium Member Scam Likely

My I-phone rang yesterday; it was a number I did not know
Next to it words read “Scam likely”
how many people would race to answer this one?
I rolled my eyes, glad for a modern day phone.
In the olden days we would have salesmen all the time.
Trying to sell us siding, cars, a new modern mop.
I used to hand the phone to a toddler until they hung up.
Made the toddler happy too.

A Journey By Sea

A Journey By Sea

The water rose and fell,
The wind dropped and blew,
We continued to sail,
Through dust and through dew,

The sails were hoisted,
The captain took the wheel,
The man in the crows’ nest,
Warned of a whales or a seal.

The captain steered,
With strength and might,
To reach safe land,
Before the dead of night.

Can we forget? Not we,
The olden days and the journey by sea?

Cherish 06-10-23

Though the sea is far, the wind still flies thereto.
Though the sun is set, it's rays still shine from afar.
Once submerged in the vast beauty of this world,
Yet never stopped by the mundane rocks
I held in my hand.

The water still runs crisp and clear from the olden days
But the bridge above has forever collapsed.
Blossoms fall, littering the surface,
The empty tree stands, a timeless guard.

Premium Member Inherent Energy

Trains, planes and automobiles all require fuel
But the best form of transportation was a gift from God
Clad in socks, abused on jogs, squeezed into heels
When it comes to moving people, let's give feet the nod

Energy is something we had, not purchased
So let's take a few steps back in history
In olden days, we walked where we wanted to go 
Let's prove we can get around without an Energizer battery

A Piece of Clay

Very adornment it is,refuse to go away.Appearing again,again in my memory lanes like vehicles.A piece of clay to rumble the ways all I wanted to make everything that for me in my school days.Now working for my livelihood coming many things within my reach for money still some shortfalls in life unlike my school days with clay.Amazing this world that I let on to live with money everything how nice those olden days that a piece of clay played?

The Olden Days: a Memory

A friend so dear whom I do love
	And whom I dream my future with
A stranger man thou art become
	It is the thing I can’t believe.

Oh! I love the olden days
Of how we spent the lovely nights
With dancing feet along the way
With moon above and stars so bright 
And how they think I am your wife.

When sultry winds do flip my hair
It is you who truly cares
And when life’s tempests hardly blew
With hope in hearts, we see it through.

Memories of the Past

I reminisce, I miss
The olden days
When we could just play,
No cares in the world
Just what we could do
So that we may have fun
And we would just
Whirl and twirl and
Be blissfully happy
Not having to worry
About what is to come
But to live in the moment
And be joyously well,
No negative thoughts
Or hurt plaguing us,
Only a good day
And a good way to spend it
These are the times
I reminisce, I miss

The Boogie Men

Darkness falls in the heart of man
and silver wisps of sultry dream 
take flight.

Wolves prowl the streets of 
the Quarter and bay
golden notes into the night.

Those down-and-out play
their notes again while the 
Boogie Men swing just right

while I walk these streets 
wet with all their tears as a 
ghost stands just out of sight-

Those 1920 olden days,
the raise the roof party craze
and that real boogie with old jazzy bite.
