Premium Member Little Ticked Boxes

little boxes ticked
delete button selected
memories erased

the good and the bad
no longer retrievable
new memories made

forgive and forget
no words left to remind me
will my heart forget?

Premium Member Time

‘Tis true, time waits for no man, but moves swiftly along
     Age to eon, in big laps or small, time is never retrievable
          Once gone it can never be recaptured, even in song
               Moving inexorably forward into realms unbelievable.

Premium Member The Only Voice That Matters

A sign on the gate read,
“No Democrats Allowed” – 
Here no more debate, an
arrow pointing to an 
elevator, “Democrats
Please Press Down” – not
one retrievable soul could
Peter find in the Democrat
Lost And Found: all votes
having been Forensically 
Counted, Heaven's Golden
Rule, a thunderous voice they
heard cry out, “God Ain't No
Doting Fool!” –

Premium Member Sounds I Remember

Why do you listen to echoes of shells strewn above your ears?

Those voices, once soft and loving, now bark churlish commands from ai drones, whirring subconscious tropes, retrievable by unseen

Puppet Masters; confident their mass of
Luminoids will sway like clouds of wind

Swept insects, inhaling vast quantities of
Ideas and movements of humans

             who

                      remember

Premium Member Fleeting

where does time go
transient
a fleeting gust of air

non retrievable
a whirlwind in a mirror
fragmented shattered

unforgettable memories
unforgivable regrets
a circular menagerie

slow motion
rewind
replay

a vortex of emotions

Crush Love ~or~ You Knew Me Before We Spoke...

This feeling, it's always intangible
never retrievable when you're in need
It's salt on the skin of the girl you're within
It's thoughts which preceed every deed.

It's auras of color which only some see
and some bump right into and pass
It's the sound of one's voice which cuts into your manner
and answers you before you ask.

This feeling, this sick to soul reeling
is always inevitable and swift
A moment of every word yet to be spoken
and every life left to be lived.
