Short Reminisces Poems

Autumn kisses
Moonbeams reminisces 
Challenges of rain
Cloud substance
Starlights twinkle galore
For I dance in twilight evermore

hours
float
in  dreams
trailing night
with chill of silence—
as new moon reflects waves beyond
flights across horizons blurred by kind reminisces…
I enter my inner world, fog of loose images dancing on silhouetted frames.

There was poetry in her deliverance
 as she was swathed by butterflies,
whilst cosmoses glinted 'tween
tranquil transcendency furthermost
harmoniously fluttered reminisces


like a flower gently unfolding,

flourishing a deeper kinda nectar...

Cognac & Brandy recollections,
   sublime warmth 'tween
        smoky exhaled vapors,
wisps of  Madagascar aromatics 
       & blazes of Autumn firesides
    amidst a French Château fantasy,
  dipped in honeysuckle reminisces 
      of cardamom spice and the pungent
         zest of once upon twilit legends...

Owl reminisces her days of being a human
Looks longingly at mother holding her child close
Remembering the feeling of that warmth
Recalling the love from her children

The moon has brought back her memories
Something lost in the daytime during sleep
She takes another forever after peek through the window
Hoping to regain her humanness in her next lifetime...

I reach across the darkest night;
I stumble fall but I'm alright;
I'm so alive, so alive;
I open my eyes and see the light, I strive;

I hear a voice inside my heart;
A soft warming whisper, so soft;
I'm aroused by promises;
And I don't feel alarmed I am reminisces;

Chosen for this moment in time;
I am treated ever so, ever so kind;

Few years ago; we were here
Do you remember?
We watched the sun begin to pare
We sat and laughed

It was such a good time we spent
Sitting under the glow of the glorious sun
The rays that fell paid their consent
And we sat and laughed

I won't forget this fragment of the past
As the memories with you were so little
This for reminisces sake will forever last
For we sat and laughed...

Scarlet heart, smile for me now or never 
The thought of you brings me scarlet fever 
Your red pigment reminds me of saccharine caress 
Your orange tinge reminisces sour-sweet embrace 

Your playful voice brings thundering rhapsody 
Your luscious lips are like zones of fantasy 
Your beauty is perpetually exquisite 
Your daring look, only fools would resist 

*For Cordillera girl*

Stained glass windows
Paint her world-
In shades of
Blue 
Lavender and rose-
As she sits alone
Atop of old point road-
In a place where
Bygone phantoms blow-

No one comes to visit
With her anymore-
Except 
The whispers 
From the pines-
Who
She reminisces with
Of better times-
Before the cross 
             was 
           nailed 
                to
              her 
             door-...

'Twas a mystifying shiver,
made her insides quivery liquid
a flight of fancy such as none other,
they were like two ships passing
midst a steamy night's rendezvous,
whenever the poetry of a drab life 
appears to be stagnant & oppressive, 
she reminisces an endearing epoch 
whence earth vehemently shook &
in the way he made every last nuance
of devoured flesh fiercely tremble to
the core of her reawakened existence...

Oh what a delight
If I had it my way, enjoy something I like
Drop everything and just take flight 
No stress no worries like a kid, just me and my bike

Lesson at hand don't grow up too fast
Childhood days are just a short span
Before you know it you'll have reminisces of the past 
Hoping and wishing you was Tinker bell or Peter Pan
Not trying to scare or make you fear
Just take your time
Never know what's in store year after year...

log fuelled fire blazes in a hearth, throwing out intermittent shadows embellishing a darkened room a flickering candle burns through yet another Christmas eve its light reaches out to highlight images of a family past



a silence is broken by a rocking, creaking chair that projects it's outline upon an empty wall, a victim of years gone by reminisces of many such nights, as a wind roars around snow-filled fields outside of a bolted wooden door......

Sweet reminisces
In my Sun drenched yard 
There they are, in the distance
Like magic to me 
You see I was so wee

Purple darlings 
Chirping near by are the starlings 
I could hardly reach 
But I must pick one each 

For hopes and smiles 
Mother will find these so worthwhile 
Fragrance from heaven 
Here we go “I got nine no ten, maybe eleven”
 
Lilacs in a bunch 
I’ll bring them to her at lunch 
And please her so 
After all I love her you know...

Old bones of my last feast 
lost and sold to the dust of ages 
collect in cryptic skulls 
of entities that sit and pray 
worship in a cave 
of my inner minds eye
within jars of the beast 
bizarre things move 
in the slime and muck I smash 
the contents of moments 
lost to the night 
cutting my flesh 
in rhythm and rage
jagged jars are broken glass 
how long will it last 
watching the remains 
the reminisces of being 
wasted moments in time 
washing out fast in jars of my mind...

Shattered pieces of the heart

Lie scattered at the end of love
Forever is over and now we part

Memories and tears are all that is left of

The days we shared as ecstasy smiled

When passion was yours and mine
Loving too fast and intensely wild

But the end came to our lover’s shrine

Bitter words instead of kisses

We lost the pleasure in a tender touch
And the memories of time reminisces

On loving too hard and hurting too much
