A life relived... mind to soul
Foolish yesteryears...

Feelings, oh feelings
mindless mirrored marauders
relived WTF’s

a relived stroll
down a creaky wooden walk…
screams of hatred

I relived the passions,
Becoming yours again...
Ah, flash backs,
Are never as divine,
As the instant replays!

Each breathe beckons life
and with time grows bereft,
until lungs no longer breathe,
and short sighs summon death.
So I dream, letting leaves here lie,
words lost in the wind, and relived
when I die....

I dreamed again of your demise,
Saw you laying there before my eyes;
I relived my grief and asked God,
Is there to be no relief from the memory
Of your pain...
Must it haunt me over and over again.

Challenge that may have been dare devil dangerous
Alludes to a secret mission
Probably something we hid from the grown ups
Enthusiastically relived years later
Reserved for close relatives – cousins or friends...

Memories
Of my yesteryears
Bring smiles, pleasuring my mind
Inspiring youthfulness, gaiety
My childhood is then relived
Happiness revived
When I’m young

In a tomb so thick air can't escape
The mummy lies wide awake

His royal skin shows little decay
His features in an expression of dismay

Caught in his casket of eternal gloom
He waits to be relived of his eternal doom...

Days gone
Time keeps passing
Look back and see those days
Days that will never be relived
I cannot comprehend my tainted past
Let me just relive those days once
It is impossible
I can still wish
Things change
Days gone...

When you wake up, startled,
and see the Grim Reaper
Do you shut your eyes
and pretend you are still asleep?

Would this be enough to make him go away
or take someone else?
If it was a loved one, would you feel glad
or relived?...

Before you cast your bitter 
slurs 
Understand that mind of hers
Long before you came along
Lies pain, rejection, already 
wronged 
Inside her mind she cannot 
hide
Every hurt anew, 
relived,revived 
Stop now or risk her suicide...

They say that history repeats
  and that's a depressing beat
Is there any means to allay
  the inevitable from coming our way

Methinks there is a way out --
  History needs be relived, not 'taught'
Experience the actual event
  ~ You may just want to repent...

I'm kept here, chained to myself
The flow of the now, reduced to the was of back then
To that moment, tired an relived
Ever without an ending
Never losing that sting

I know I'm a prisoner of myself
Had the keys all along
But I'd rather feel what I feel
Than not to feel at all...

Remembrances of my beloved son and
Old photos mounted on tears of time;
Misty images of happy days gone by,
Accuse me now of an unforgiving crime.
Nevermore to be relived,
Those moments of cherished bliss:
If I could just one mistake have back,
Could he forgive me my remiss?...

Sometimes
life should be about
nothing more than
swirly upside down rides
and blue cotton candy
for in the end
pasts can’t be taken back
only relived
and the truth is
I’d rather live
happily
with my blue tongue
than die
with the past’s
bitter taste
on my lips.

To some
  reality comes early,
  to others
  it comes late

The lucky
  get a pass,
  where the facts of life
  will wait

With truth
  backed in the corner,
  and fantasy now 
  to reign

No love
  to go asunder,
  no past relived 
  again

A thousand stories told
memories of a life
full of mistakes and sorrow
 Pain existing within each tale
of a shattered life
told as if it were watched
being stuck in rewind 
 Hanging over you
like a halo 
always with you
 Told each time
each day
being relived as timeless 
this life won't die...

Follow me travelers of the quickening
Through pale moon light
A timid sky of infinite colors
Twine the mystic expanding light

Of spirit adorn a needle to thread
O' this quilt of majesty relived
A never ending journey 
Follow me shall we go
To leap from the ledge
To reap what we sow

There could be soft spots in this earthly sojourn, 
But all agree that there are arid zones
That sear and inflame your bones, 
Times you wouldn't want for a second relived; 
The diamond rocks in the flesh of butter, 
Occasions on which the claws of fate engulfed
And tentacles of hard luck mercilessly ground....

The greatest of men
  he bled the truth,
  his wounds for all to share

A symbol relived
  a life unspoiled,
  courage all too rare

The towering hawk
  the thundering storm,
  hailstones mark the way

A moment in time
  a vision embraced
   —his name the children pray

We bless this seasons abundant harvest
As we await pending shortening days
Soon the heavens shall grace
Wet days shall soon show their display

For our pasts will soon be relived
When skeletal arms start shivering
Icy fingers they're sure to become
Hoar frost, light snow, begins lingering

School Day Memories

My childhood relived
In memory's inner senses
Touch, nose, ears and eyes

Pain as I slip on waxed floor
Tears at the sight of my blood
The smell of iodine ointment

Hearing the school bell
Seeing my mother waiting

Yesterday's childhood revisited
Memory has no tomorrow...

By Valerie D. Staton

My mind swims with thoughts of yesterday...
a day of unrelenting anguish and fist pounding sorrow
a day never to be forgotten
a day never to be relived again...

a day my heart, like a vase hurled against a granite wall,
shattered into a million pieces...

the day mother closed her eyes for the very last time...
