I have mastered hitting the walls
with each collision
they took a piece of me
today
I'm recollecting my parts
building myself anew
I will never, ever let anyone steal my rocks

Desperately needing a release to find
Individuality of myself
Voiding all legal contracts and becoming
Obsolete to my ex
Recollecting past memories of my younger happier days
Capturing that smile I once wore
Everything works out in the end

Recollecting the thoughts
Exercising the fingers
Sharpening the eyes
I wonder why?
Stable it has become
Smoothly it has come
Aggressively it has conquered
I wonder why?
Should worry be a norm?
Would worry be a norm?
Could worry be a norm?
I wonder why?

At times in the yonder, I would ponder,
It's time for the inner voice to render.
My soul is once again contented and rejuvenated,
In silence, I spend recollecting and reflecting,
To reflect on all that is done and what can be done.
At times in the yonder, I ponder.

I slip into
my cloud
and let it
take my mind
to count how much left
of my imagination.
“Ah, I see
no stars in
weightless night!” I said.
So she folds
me, with her honeyed
palms
and keeps me
warm
in her pot of dreams—
recollecting
my memories to face
another morrow.

lost somewhere
in the triangle
of Self
and Sense and Soul
we swim
far beyond
chance of rescue
we cling to drifwood
with sunburnt arms
still strong
silent within
the back spin
recollecting
when we were abandoned
and why
our eyes
search the horizon
faithfully
until we tire
and slip under

I do not know?
(in reference to Lamar "L-Boogie" Featherston)
That's what it must be. an Empty
tomb
For there's No trace of you, in
Mother Earth's womb
That is what I have come to
assume
Recollecting on November 4th,
No sounds of a boom
Despite, what remains Empty,
is your room
Still, I believe, your Spirit does
bloom

I’m reading old poems that I wrote;
(Most are wonderful, if I can gloat!)
Many capture events
That my old brain prevents
Recollecting, from times now remote.
I’m remembering travels and days,
Each occasion my writing portrays,
That I thought I’d forgot
But apparently not
For when written, each memory stays.

Across the country, I’ve lost my sense;
I sit and count the days.
The days I have not perceived your say.
I’m gone in a haze recollecting your mysterious gaze,
am I crazy to say I keep falling in this passageway;
your love is enchanting my insanity.
I add up the days, when will our love go away?

Taking a flight of fancy through bygone days
Recollecting memories of countless prosperity
Those precious gems of life’s gifts
I find it in the smell of your old room
It’s in the gestures of your journey
That I still see so clearly
It’s in the smile captured in your photograph
There is hope in your everlasting legacy

The blue eyes of hers wavering between choices,
Whether to stay or leave, accept or create
All thoughts lingering her mind about the over and done
Recollecting the abuses and rejections of the past
She got up sleeves folded, head held high,
Ran with daring determination,
Tracing the light of stars in the darkest night
With the hope of daylight.

Blank verse
Now I do reminisce
but not without pain,
there are times I recall
with some tears to restrain.
Reflecting on years
and the ones no doubt lost,
realities turn
my emotional cost!
Carry on best I can
such a wound never heals,
the façade as presented
and the hurt it conceals.

So bashful to the wind the day sets at bay
recollecting the past of the stilled clay,
mounded mind distract the dew
observing the mountains in the view,
combusting in it's self the rain flaws
cold winter winds build it's claws,
to tangle the day amoung the clear
just to await what could be coming near,
golden spokes of torned day
breaks the path of wilted frey.

May be I will meet you someday somewhere
you will fail to recognize my smile
I do not have to reply
Coj I know you will reply to me first
I will be waiting by that broken bench
You know I am peaceful
I don’t talk much
I speak when my pen speaks
You must have read my lips
I am journeying still
Recollecting words….
Words very common to one’s heart
I expect you will read these lines..
From……your dearest…..

the child inside
revealed through cascading
recollecting
regrets unspoken break free
boundlessly
the child inside
hindered responsibility weigh
heavily
elation manifestation refuted
deniability
the child inside
yearning determined to depart
dependability
exchanging impulsive playful
irrationality
the child inside
locked away penal complexes
restricting
flee to autonomy- mischievous

You can not regain lost time
for it is spent
Past
forever gone
The moment to hesitate is through
No way to turn those hands back
Retreat return – no, never
Seconds tick by
onwardly marching
For time it stops for no one
And yet the future
now is time
for change
for remembering
for recollecting
effecting what may be
doing things for the now
living life with no regrets
move on
for life time is precious

Whisky spirit mind limit
pluck memorized vision
seize th' stars up ahead
battle th' inner crave
it ne'er yet give up
always wrestle back
an leave with glory
walk th' alley
recollecting th' mind
Hair spikes piercing rings
illusionize tepid care
hideous masks loose style
spots th' priceless fake act
go throw family line away
for an amoral base fay
O' how foolish of you to be
but not be , what meant be

Recollecting
I cherish the flower
I salvaged
From the table
That night
The flow of wine
Gentle music
Romance
The two of us
Holding hands
How could I
Have known
You'd be gone
That tragedy
Would strike
On the phone
You talked
To me of love
Driving home
That night
Now I'm to blame
We broke the law
For love
You having
Lost your life
A lone
Treasured flower
I cling to
Now I'll never
Be your wife

Waking up next to you
Stretching my arms to you
Gazing deep into your eyes
Feeling your arms run through my body
Your breath next to my breath
Breathing the soft air of our love
Caressing each other one hair streak at a time
Indulging into each other one affair at a time
Recollecting the night's moments
Finding each other as time passes
Needing more of each other as we lay next to each other
Leaving no ends, to every new beginning

Longing to feel your clement breath
while reading your letters in the sand,
you write about premature death
a life taken by one’s own hand.
The whole world knows it’s sometimes hard
to put on a face and face the day,
life isn’t about the right card
or the way one needs to play.
For here alone I need time to think
while straying not from vigilance,
recollecting life in the pink
after years of assertive innocence…

Rhyme
I know I am broken like a pitcher of clay
I should neglect it; what use of it, say!
They had done, my relatives, friends,
Knowing that there's no hope remains;
It's then I saw you entering the scene,
Collecting me; recollecting and joining;
Not with ordinary gum or coal of old,
But with pure and purified karat gold;
I looked glamorous than before I was,
It's, hence, I love you and keep you close...
