Short Recaptured Poems

She should not have fled.

If time could be recaptured

She would let love in....

An image recaptured
in meadow and field

Her fragrance escaping
–to wander and yield

(Dreamsleep: June, 2021)...

  Once the moment passes
    It can never be recaptured

  Neither dissected ~
                    nor resurrected...

there
are still
traces
of slow
minded
memories
of you,
recaptured
and brought
to view,
whispering
softly
to my heart....

Slumber comes,
Lips pressed gently,
Against center forehead.

Dreams escaped,
Now recaptured with new luster,
Peaceful rest falls....

Making love to my memory
each tryst redefined
 Perfection recaptured
reenvisioned sublime 
Forever unwavering
all pain reconceived
The future rekindled  
—my heart’s reverie 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2022)...

Tranquil and quiet…
 a walk in the park
Until life’s Trojan Horse
rolls in from the dark

Cancer invading,
you must parry back
Each moment recaptured
—a present still wrapped

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2020)...

Imprinted flash of thine eye
Painted on vastness of sky 
Embrace of warmth and limelight
Radiates my sullen night
Recaptured treasures of hope
Withstand all debris of slope
Basking under the lagoon,
Reminds me of lovely moon...

A song more than a verse,
  thoughts more than they say

A wish lost in the fall,
  recaptured in May

Love more than a feeling,
  all heaven to share

Last word redelivered,
 —on wings of a prayer

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)...

Doleful tenaciousness,
dissonant outrageousness,
in contemptuous mist,
forlorn and dismissed.

Early morn my sensibility,
recaptured tranquility,
solitude my quest,
undeniably blessed.

Forbearance and fortitude,
visionary interlude,
a sonnet, an epistle,
a tenet, a gift....

Children in the schoolyard pierce the sky with vital cheer.
Their joyful octave shouting wrecks the register.
Vernal offspring sounds wing and zoom like morning moths,
over Eiffel Tower challenges ahead.
Let us celebrate these golden moments short-lived though they are, as they cannot be recaptured once they're gone!...

‘Tis true, time waits for no man, but moves swiftly along
     Age to eon, in big laps or small, time is never retrievable
          Once gone it can never be recaptured, even in song
               Moving inexorably forward into realms unbelievable.

Today I saw you for the very first time,
The love I never knew or recognized,
I stood from a distance until you came close to me,
I saw the worth of your heart, I felt your heart beat,
The silence was fear that stood in the way,
You recaptured the memories my heart tore away,
You replaced them with love you always had inside,
The love you felt you had to cover and hide,...

<                             once there was a girl locked in closet
                               dear old dad said well thats what you get
                               little did he come know
                               let out by little bro
                               but recaptured by moms fishing net

UNKINDNESS OF SORROW
THE ABILITY TO RE-EMBRACE
THE LEGACY OF HUMANKIND
LOVE THAT NEVER DECOMPOSED
THE MEMORIES RECAPTURED
THE WAY OF APPRECIATION
THE JOY OF LIVING
SATURATED OF HOPES AND DREAMS
NEVER GIVE UP THE JOURNEY OF HOPE 
LET GRAVITY FAVOR YOU 
AND ANCER TO THE SURFACE LIKE ANGIOSPERMS
FOR A FRUIT IS ABOUT TO BE BARED OUT OF YOU 
NEVER FOLLOW THE CROWD 
THERE IS A LEADER IN YOU....

Weightless feeling, remembrance of something new
Total disregard for pain receptors, a tangled wire
A recaptured moment in time, a retaken picture
A rescind into misery, but it is okay. It’s normal
Applause for the inner vacuum, devouring entirely
A recap on events that have yet to take place
Some call it seeing into the future. “Prophecies” 
But the truth of the matter is, history repeats itself...

flaming rainbow aloft, 
starlight galaxy festoon 
once an iron sky, 

Tempest equinox, 
sparks shall on them descend, 
foreshadowed co lours reign force 

defy justify defy 

Coiled snake, rabid tongue, sermon revoked 

preach not your cruel co lours 
delivered unto me true co lours

Red and blue embers twisted hypocrite burns 
soul restored, recaptured spirit in purple

...this co lour my courage deserves......

Dreams of tomorrow,elaborate, yet
oftimes an aimless zig-zag through
a time of discovery,a seminal 
frottage of suppressed desire.
The forgotten recaptured from a
derilict past floating upon ripples
of a future hope.

Whisper softly to me love,
All is heard from up above,
My ears inclined to what you say,
Please stay close, don’t go away,
Wash me clean with summer rain,
Only you know my past pain,
Innocence recaptured and sincere,
You melt away all of my fear,
Morning glory sounds of new,
Darkness fades as I pursue,
Valleys filled with vital nutrition,
You’re my cure, my new condition,
You're my remedy, my dietition.

My entire life is weighed by a moment
the moment that will always be remembered 
where life has taken a turn
now there is no way to go back
 Only looking at life from my rear view
moments gone by
time that can never be recaptured 
 Judged by a moment
but there so much life to live
the future has yet to be written
though a moment from my past is all you see
 Mistakes happen to all
look within them and see
events of shame
buried away 
a moment never meant to be known...

I just saw a photo that raised the beat of my heart

Like seeing a galaxy of a billion shooting stars

I just saw a photo of you.

Though I'm feeling stressed and my burdens are weighing me down

Your smiling face pulled me out of the gloom

I had to stop to turn life off for a while

So that I could cherish the soft light of you in full bloom

It's amazing how that photo of you on our wedding day just recaptured my heart

And decades later made me realise how much I love you....
