I saw you in a waking dream
Smiling in some quick snapshots.
Looking down on me.
Missed....

Lost in memory; 
Wasted breath and time take toll.
The minds eye, can be so cruel
Snapshots of fading moments;
Laughter and a love long dead....

Like snapshots our memories are
Fleeting only in seconds passing 
Rewind to double expose and overlap
Attempts to organize and remember
Flashes by at the end...

Through the lens of a lifetime
Moments captured
Who we are
Who we were
Warm memories
Colors softened by time
Infinitely archived
In the album
Of our heart...

Stoned and thrilled I stared                  
Sweet lady mime I’m speechless.
A match made in Paradis?

Snapshots I kept near 
Equal heartbeats in sync pound.
Ear-piercing pitter patters

Feathered Dreams

snapshots of a moment
pebbles in a pond
ripplings

stirring the surface
ruffling feathered

Her tears fill up the ocean, 
life scenes are in slow motion. 
 Each snapshot takes a toll, 
  on her lost and empty soul. 
 As she awaits shapeless train 
  headed to melancholy lane.

A poem can be flowery
Illusory
Capricious
Frivolous

Some are short, others rather long
Flow like a song
Reveal one's soul
If that's the goal

For me, it's a declaration
A translation
Of random thoughts
A mind's snapshots...

             as tears spill on snapshots

Christmas Eve

With frigid air

Scurrying 

Failed plans

Gatherings

Smiles..

These snapshots

Are everything..

Which cannot

Be known..

Yet may be

A fulfilling

Story of

A birth of 

Peace as not 

Understanding......

Silence..
let my glass speak,
bubbles rising,bursting,
snapshots of faces in my mind,
colours overlapping with each other,
first sip,first sin,mom and dad's face
try to peep in my heart,
then vanish like 
bubbles.

moon hides her eyes
playing peek-a-boo with the world
afraid to see us as we are

we feel her mirth
she is seasoned; so she laughs not
but she wills her feelings into our minds

moon takes tiny glimpses
snapshots of our night life,
all she can stand at one time...

   Snapshots of a gentler time
     rainbows filled my mind
   Freshwater streams, nature unsullied
     Faces helpful, eager, kind  

   Page after page, endearing smiles
     teeth all perfectly aligned 
   No hint of what's to come
     ~ navigating blind
