Emotion in relation to pleasant
thought narration or recollection.
Reason for joy is for satisfied need
or for mystified retrospection.

In retrospection, I should have been the bigger person.
But how could have I been, when I was the one secretly hurting
From that secret you had simply and conveniently forgotten...?...

unsaid,
cryptic
      timeless
in memory:
in imagination
      unfolding
      fantasy
in retrospection,
outlines
    reverberate
   become explicit
    visible
    coalesce
into wit
       and passion...

Pushing ahead,     
doubtless clarity    
fills your head.

On retrospection    
is when you see   
errors in decision.    

Hey, hey, life is a dice - 
roll it, pray you get lucky,  
otherwise, caught in a vise!...

somewhere lost behind my musings
one two three
let's count them all
while all rhyme and comprehension
swan dive spirals
as it falls
somewhere in the secret synapse
four five six
negotiate
while all thoughts and disposition
still remind me
I was late....

past
misty, nostalgic
retreating, missing, remembering
retrospection, memorabilia, dream, destiny
waiting, enticing, unfurling
hopeful, golden
future

He peers into his mind
for the once planted, 
the once loved,
the still flowering, 
the motley,
the wilderness blooms.

Without this retrospection
his mind would be a ramshackle plot,
so he tends to it, 
even the briers and thorns.

Memory nourishes
flourishes from the seeding,
it also dead-heads and uproots.

There are many ways to garden....

The wind blows
with it I move
memory stirs with the breeze.

Small feet swinging, beat
giggles;

“Daddy push me please!”

The wind blows
with it I move
retrospection stirs with the breeze.

“Higher Daddy!” “Higher!”
Faint, soft memories.

The wind blows
with it I move
longing stirs with the breeze.
Small feet, pump, pull and shriek;
“STOP, stop” “Daddy!” “Please”...

Whatever we construct in mind
Will turn in the real world
With some distortion of ideas
The feeling we preassume
Either love or hatred
Makes reality the same
Sometimes
The feeling reach to such a height
That we lives with our sixth sense
Incidence of haunted world
N repeated retrospection over it
Led to in reality without actual happening
Is just a construction
So the idea we pour in mind 
Led a consequence similarly....

occasional
   ambiguous studiously
                          careless
  provocative in
      retrospection

a pretence of subtlety
  evoking
     paradoxical frisson
in
flowing graphics

graceful
        supremely refined
        so effortless&
               sophisticated

enchantment     evoked
then
     crystallized
        into memorable images
contemporary
  self assured            immaculate
little fantisies...

2022 a widening variation of perfection
A mystical convergence of perfect connection
Loved and now loving in retrospection

A fever dream
A new way to view
A Sunshine's beam
A happiness renew
A brightest star
A one of a kind
A fully healed scar
A exceptional find
A poet's inspiration
A resurgence of kindness
A defined connotation
A heart feels no duress

My report card filled with A's
A year to remember till the end of all days...

What's your word for the new year?
   Will you use it to set your direction? 

Will it get you out of your comfort zone?
   Could it become your personal capstone?

Will it challenge you in a multiplicity of ways
   Will it spur you to new heights every day?

Will you treasure it both at work and at play?
   Or will you write it down and then throw it away?

What's your word for the new year?
   Will it have changed your life in retrospection?...

Woken from this perfect dream, to an image of your reflection
Broken hearts; willed this bitter, fitting ending; our course correction 
I'll lose myself in anguish; closing my mind; shutting down all affection 
Not just about me; it's what we deserve; no love found, in our direction
I thought I could break down the barricade to your heart; never made it across the road, or intersection
A fever dream; a broken frame; shattered glass; never a picture worth remembering; in retrospection...
