spokes of bike reeling
slow motion...mind rewinding
‘remember helmet’


straps it tight under his chin
premonition frightens him

There are bottles of honor
In my hands
Making me withstand
This foreign land!

I am a witchy brand
So this is what 
The world must understand!

There is fire in my mind
Which keeps on 
Rewinding on and on
Taking me off course!...

I know he doesn't mean it. But dang can he yak. When I try to watch a movie,
I have to keep rewinding it back. I try to listen to his jabber. But I have my mind on that tv. My Husband talking when I try to watch a movie is my biggest pet peeve....

Can I stop time and rewind my watch
To the day before I met you?

Allow me to explain to my past self
That you're nothing but a senseless fool
Who only wants everything but love.

Let me save my heart and my soul
From being torn apart by your careless neglect....

The music they liked made them who they were..

The ' popular music'  the kids grooves didn't touch that nerve

'Alternative'  that was the word.. different not main stream, a sound evoking feeling, lyrics well deserved 

Songs of meaning not just rhyme.. remembering each album track, rewinding each line...

Have 
you
ever
flown
higher
from
astro
projections
In 
learning
the 
lessons
of
loves
timed
regressions 
beginning
with 
intention
of
a 
time
in
replacing
a
life
worth
living
a
free
spirit
lined
in
replenishment
rewinding
with
rebirth
refined 


Space Bound. By Eminem....song...

my scent lingers
after you're gone
telling me this later
on the phone
breathe deep

does a taste remain
when you lick your lips
your mind imagining
as fantasy is revisited
breathe deep

do whispers of love
still play in your ears
a concerto rewinding
that only we hear
breathe deep

breathe deep baby,
breathe deep...

The bed covers grew longer and longer.
As the continuous thread was fed, 
from the spindle to the spools unwinding and rewinding, 
from spool to spool twisting and weaving its threads, 
through the eyes of the needles, 
and into stitches of rows that zigged zagged,
In alternating colors of yellows, blues, and reds, 
with prints of daffodils across the covered beds....

By Parizo Van Thulare 

No more feelings to spare
No more good times to share 
Not even tears to shed 
Nor Kisses to spread 
One's heart is blur 
One's mind turned to a fur
These pictures are the ones to stare
Rewinding memories when love was found 
But they are of no use 
Is all lost 
It was all mystery 
Now it is History
Pride swept it all 
Love lies bleeding...

Don't give me too much
I'll expect to be touched
With a mind of a kind
rewinding my rhyming
with you, I'll succumb 
giving into utopia
that heaven can't touch
an
emotional rush
Baby
let's fool around
or
I'll go aground 
with 
fantasies of you
all wrapped up in truth
Please
let me believe
or I'll have to grieve
with
you ranting for more
knocking on
heavenly shores...

Don't give me too much
I'll expect to be touched
With the
Mind of  a kind
rewinding my rhyming
in beats of a drum
giving me something
that
heaven can't touch
an
emotional rush
Baby
dial it down
or 
I'll go the round
with
fantasies of you
all
wrapped up in truth
Please
let me breathe
or
I'll have to leave
you panting for more
Knocking for sure
on 
heavenly doors...

Rewinding that insidious regret
that art as counterfeit
did access all my faith's concept
and yet denying thy love's kept!

Each moment's fine adept
were not a loss ~ as all acceptance wept
wherein thy heart spoke,
also mine had slept!

Rewinding then this usury's invest
apart ~ and yet no time in mind
can atrophy entwine ~ forever thee,
. . . . . . forever solaced, stately mine!...

One blinding light will freeze the frame
unraveling time, rewinding…
Stopped in it’s tracks,  this moment's flight
swift wings of the clock, are lying
Each moment that ticks reminding
how speed of light, has darted…
The future and past aligning
in one flashblub glimpse, now parted

That jukebox,
was in shock,
all it was playing,
was not going anywhere,
it was returning back,
people were doing all,
but hearing it,
box had it and was very angry,
it began rewinding and all,
people were still busy elsewhere,
the music played back,
people were hitting the sack,
juke box was now about to crack,
it covulsed and exploded,
now everybody heard,
got up and looked amazed....

Where do you see yourself in the future?

There is no key hole to show you a quick glimpse of what your life will in-tale.

No movie can illustrate what life has in store for you.

Most importantly there is no skipping the bad parts,

In one flick of a wrist, your life can go spiralling out of control,

no rewinding, 

no pausing,

and no way you can take back what’s already been done...

Im sitting in my room...
Just hanging out..
Just thinking about so many things.

My mind races..
But
I've learned to not let it get ahead of me

Today the old me is dead to me
I got fed up of bleeding out
So
I work hard every day to improve myself
Grinding is so much easier without the constant
Rewinding, back tracking and regretting

Life doesn't care about timing
When we make that choice
Its called perfect timing....

a backward journey
through escalator of time
black and white album

distant sky's call
open window balcony
an empty arm chair

glimpses of childhood
adding color to album
wrinkled smiling face

sudden gush of air
rewinding escalator
the arm chair rocking

As i stare at my reflection 
and examin all the improfections
your words keep rewinding in my head
"your beautiful" is what you said
as a single tear slides down my cheek
i wonder,"wheres the beauty of which you speak"?
my body scarred, my soul is broken
but you say theres truth in the words youve spoken
im scared of what will become of us
if its love or if its lust
will this tear stay as one
turn to a million 
or fade to none...

I rush to the dance floor
    The first chords of “Night Fever” command it
The crowd clamors for more
     Their sighs of approval demand it

The room is bedazzled, hypnotic
     The pulse sets the rhythm, heart beat, dance feet
I smolder in musical narcotic
     Focused in song, inside myself, complete

Alas, the beat subsides in sudden pause
     As I’ve reached my destination
Radio off, rewinding what was
     A temporary reclamation...

I wonder if you looked my way
I'm not sure if you did
But oh, did I sure look at you
My gaze I kept well hid
My eyes were very happy
With what they got to see
And now the movie that they made
Is playing back for me

I keep rewinding to the start
When you came through the door
That moment was incredible
And left me wanting more
And more I got, I hung around
Where you were I was 
I looked for you 'til you I saw
My heart longed...it still does...

Nearest to the end of the fall season we all know.
Our last look at beauty that unfolds in glow,
Visions of color falling everywhere we go.
Every wooded escape has transformed slow.
Magical colors have faded, nakedness now show.
Bare branches thrive, which nature does bestow.
Everyone awaits the freshness of the first fallen snow.
Rewinding time, nature prepares for cold winds to blow.

Will you 
give me
something
to 
belive in?
How
do  
I know?
When
exploring 
the woes
of 
loves
 rewinding 
in
rejects
 timing
I dig
your ways
is what
she says
but
it's a
fantasy
breathing 
on
reality
What
she says
is
nothing
serious
So
I 
must go
and 
explore
my flow
Honey
please
leave me
Because 
I need
something
to 
believe in
and
your ways
are not
my 
brighter 
days 
I wish
you 
could
have
given me
something
to
believe in...

Solar flares fuel my wings
Dragging my fingers through Saturn's rings
Prism rainbows surround me
In the constellation's sea 
Someday I'll return to form
Stardust in the galaxies storm
Truth revealed
Time becomes a movie reel
Rewinding through spatial waves
visions of stars, my body caves
Everything is known all too fast
The mind tries to balance a weight too vast
It melts into my bones
In forms of vibrant florescent cones
revealing a map
of where the human soul inter-laps....
