sun’s cozy warmth and bright shine
fade tiptoeing soft
recollections tucked in heart
pining for amber grandeur

Losing Things

Thoughts and possessions
Boxes in my mind
Empty recollections
Going back in time

Memories forever
as long as I exist
Who should I will them to?
Should I make a list?

Premium Member As Yesterday

noises off
            abound,
all around:

blackbirds,
                 willow
maples,boats
and fishing nets:

recollections ,
immersed
memories in
whispered sounds

Endearing memories come to mind
Celebrations shared from the past
Timeless recollections from my youth
Those tender musings I hold dear
Treasured moments from yesteryears

Premium Member Breakers on the Sea

    Like the waves of a storm-swept gray sea
       breakers rushing furiously toward me

    Thrashing recollections of what once was
       memories that will nevermore be

Some Elderly, Glamorous, Hollywood Maidens

Some elderly, glamorous, Hollywood maidens
Gathered at the meeting in "mourning clothes."
O, poor creatures with sudden recollections,
About losing their maiden honour. Supposed.

Doser Recollections

We're breathing
In the same world, same air
We always think about us
Boosting all our doser recollections
Those should be ample to make us grin
It has to be plentiful at least for now

Recollections

Thinking about a close friend who died a long time ago:

The days pile up
And the seasons come and go,
The moons wax and wane,
Years continuously flow,
How long will I remember . . .

muted
      subordinate
sardonic,rambling
              recollections
envelop the ill-informed-
mislead,
      with selected
         distortions
of the truth...
voicing opinions
as fact

Branching Autumns

A more naked light filters through branching nervous systems. A fade and shade seeps into dendritic pathways shedding forever falling leaves, recollections of so many dissolving autumnal moments.

Premium Member A Reflection On My Recollections

My recollections - whether they be good or bad - do not make me glad. Best times cannot be remade; if I’m lucky, , , bad ones fade. Written Oct. 27, 2012 For Michael J. Falotico's Reflection Poetry Contest

Premium Member RIPPED RECOLLECTIONS

Woeful, my painful past, that leaves me woebegone for my loved ones now gone above. Full of melancholy and grief-stricken and lost in sad recollections. I have been crushed forlorn in thoughts and left, woeful.

Recollections

As surrounded by
To find comfort in
Most splendid of artefacts
An era's, bygone

He's turned it into
While is placed therein
His mind, such, a museum.
Web-free. Nor dim-lit.
One this oft toured does befit.
Daily; and night-long.
Form: Rhyme

Abstract

Paintings in blue
Hanging on newsroom den,
All captured
memories from the past
Rendered on velvet.
Abstract visions-
Treasures, these keepsakes from Grandma;
Dearly loved recollections.

Love Thoughts At Dusk

LOVE THOUGHTS AT DUSK

                                         Bathing in twilight
                                    recollections grab my sky--
                                          indigo captive

Poetry...

Personal poignant passages pure
 Odes, oddities, and opinions to opine
   Essence of everyday evolution evokes
    Truth and tales trumpeted to transcend 
      Repetition, rhyme; recollections revealed
        Yammering and yearning till yarns are yielded

Premium Member Memories

So many gems lay sparkling in our minds

of wondrous days and years, we can recall;

and each gets glossier as it unwinds,

while joyous recollections shine, enthrall.
 
Pray that our shiny jewels are kept sublime-

as we proceed to polish them with time.

Memories

The house is quiet again,
    visitors gone home
sipping coffee alone
   recalling just yesterday
the memories shared over the years
   too quickly, time, lives, loves
all pass away
   and we find ourselves alone
in the quiet
   with all our missed recollections
of the days gone by.

Luckily

Luckily I am not yours,
To fondle and defile,
My beating soul lies elsewhere,
You can adorn me with recollections,
But I will be one goddess less,
One saint more,
I will come along the sunset,
To steer you towards the heavens,
Then in your mouth I spit anesthetic saliva,
And you are no more.

Premium Member Nostalgia

Not a view of the future
Or a take on the present
Simply recollections of the past
Truth or fiction?
Anecdote or fact?
Looking warmly back
Good things not bad
Imparts hope
Always fond memories prevail or do they?
