Echoes of the deep
Seeking the old woven tale
Of the past foretold....

in lasting retrospective lie.

A MAGA cap was among the selections
  It brought back some dark recollections

    Stormy Daniels cost DJT a few erections
      ~ Trump cost the GOP a few elections...

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?...

noises off
            abound,
all around:

blackbirds,
                 willow
maples,boats
and fishing nets:

recollections ,
immersed
memories in
whispered sounds...

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

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 . . ....

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...

A LIVING PAINTING

A
place

impressions
of recollections
in lasting retrospective lie.

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

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....

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.

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

                                         Bathing in twilight
                                    recollections grab my sky--
                                          indigo captive

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

We Create…...

Words escape me through silent River's rushing where autumn leaves swirl and dance through the raging current
High above the mountain summit yields wild daisies of white and purple as a soft amber breeze blows sweet recollections of childhood haunts and all the dreams they held......

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.

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 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....

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?
