To Recollect

Burn in the cool sun,
Be a friend of the old moon
to recollect love

The Mystery of Pain

The Mystery of Pain- Emily Dickinson
Pain cannot recollect
When it began.
It has no future.
It’s infinite realms contain
New periods of pain.

Snippet Number 1

My subconscious mind reminds me
thoughts of you still linger
Trying to forget the feel of you,
but these thoughts of mine
recollect without permission
Causing a slow submission to my
mental addiction

A Dreamers Dream

Late at night
Starring into the half-light
Trying to recollect
What happens next
Trying to rekindle old flames
From my past
Dreamers dream
Or so it seems
They say nothing lasts 
Forever lasts with me.

My Lord

The advent of pleasant summer
Arouses my poetic quotient clear
I become versing spree
In my leisure super free

Ideas abound gush from mind
As I recollect and rewind
Nature is the supreme Lord
Will endow me with qualities of Bard..!!

In my respite awesomely free

As I recollect and rewind
Yeh Nature thou are supreme entity
Endow me with qualities of deity..!

Premium Member On Limestones

What remarkable limestones
We have in our memory!
Our buried paradise;
The need to re-examine, recollect, and reorder...
Why we don't bound from one
                              lily pad to the other more often

Appears as our fatal mystery.

Premium Member A Town Like Venice

A place in which to sigh
impressions to recollect
       in lasting retrospect
Colours cry wet-on-wet
images of a sunset.

A valparetto on the sea..
...Vivaldi strings that sing
of Winter & Spring
Summer and Fall on pause..
so many memories to recall

Life Is a Screen

I no longer face people 
My life is framed in a screen

I trudge along from screen to screen
Television, computer and mobile

When was the last time I kissed a face
Or held someone’s hand for a while
Cannot recollect….

Can somebody help before I scream

Premium Member In A Better Place

When someone first dies and leaves us,
It’s hard to lift that sense of gloom,
When their body is no longer with us,
But their presence still fills the room.

But within our treasured memories,
We can recollect their smiling face,
For in our heart-of-hearts we know,
They are now in a much better place.

AB - from across a line of school desks

Not lost, as though what shocks for
Lightning's blinding flash
In one's rightful mind
To then be found yet
As struck by, and this far gone
With reason melted!

That of heart-wick's rousing up
Gazed on, gazes back
The determining factor.
Brave to recollect!
Angel's, as etheric-charged
Girl's facial effect.

Faint taste

Scent and money spent 
Will power burning water slip deep in shower
She let's things slide back forth each a ride
She reads my mind finds path grip and collide
Unloaded loud screams wakes souls and found 
Pulse and pull hair gripped and growled 
She finds her shoes he pays the bill
Recollect and finds sweet debt

Summer Hill

The fragrance of a memory
From childhood long ago
I’m brought back
To a fenced in backyard
Crayola blue sky
Burnt umber ground
Islands of green and yellow grass
The scent of Summer Hill wafts 
As the unseen is revealed
A dream remembered then forgotten
You say it didn't happen
I recollect the aroma that says it did

Love, Do I Know You?

Love, do I know you? 
Then why can't I recollect
A single time I dared to say
I loved someone
With no trace of my family in them?
Sometimes, drowning 
In the rabbithole,
I'd wonder, and then realise
I'd never admitted to myself,
That I too had my dose
Of crushes and elusive love,
The usual spice of adolescence.

When We'Re Called

When we're, at last,
Called in the night;
Called to recollect;
Called to account;
Rejoice.
Be prepared.
Ready as ever.
Nothing else matters--
Not the dishes,
The books,
The videos,
The times remembered.
Did you follow your heart?
Don't allow the
Dostoevsky character's last words to
come from your lips-----
Ever.

The Dream That Is Life

My dream of my 
Life
Has faded with 
Age

I walk through
this life
And just keep
turning the page

We recollect
and we look back
Never expecting our
present

and never seeing the
attack

The attack of the
Future
is always at our heels

But our heads still tilt
towards the ground
and we choose not to

feel

Premium Member Window of the Soul

WINDOW OF THE SOUL

She painted herself as a cathedral window, sometimes in pieces, surrounded by ethereal color, true eyes, full lips.  The windows of her soul, open and attentive. Will you recollect her countenance? Will you frame the friendship or glance at another portrait more to your portents - a shadow crossing?

Premium Member Time, Friend Or Foe

Time, friend or foe
           I really don’t know
Both, I suspect
          As I recollect
Friend in a way
           I’d have to say
For I’ve known love
          That I can speak of
And I’ve been blessed
          I might suggest
But foe, I report
          For time runs short
And must make haste
          No time to waste

Pause, Reflect

Pause, soberly reflect and recollect
Today, your thoughts, the things you did
Mentally your day revisit
Pause, soberly reflect and recollect
Evaluate truthfully, bias deficit
Ponder in truth, sentiments be rid
Pause, soberly reflect and recollect
Today, your thoughts, the things you did.

CAN'T

Can't stop the tears from falling.
Can't stop the memories from calling
me back to all those beautiful times,
expressed in so many of my rhymes.

Can't stop the tears from flowing.
Can't stop the memories from going
into those places I should set aside.
Yet, them, I am unable to hide,
as I recollect that beautiful ride.

Blue Tulips

How white and blue together recollect us
to the summer sky and the imagined swallows
darting in exquisite geometry
under the great domed space of the heavens,
like the Basilica in Constantinople
containing and giving space.
And how I held you for a moment that was infinite
and then was gone like an angel fearing enchantment
into some  finite boundaried world.
