memories (Remove filter)
God bless the dead
Dont worry my brothers,
Save a spot for me cus I'll see you soon.
These thoughts and memories,
The dreams that consume.
Me...
Had me thinking on life, feel choked till I can't breathe.
Losing my people, blinded me to the better things in life I couldn't see.
Losing these people brought tremendous amounts of pain.
Moving on in life, till my heart froze and changed.

The Ocean Inside The Shell
The salty sea spray sprinkles my skin,
like summer showers
That begin
Then end
Suddenly
I stand in front of a crust forming at the edge of the beach
Splintered, softened wood
Seaweed
Stones
Shiny when wet
Their colours
Like common jewels
Topaz, ruby, emerald, turquoise, coral pink, terracotta
All there for the picking
All at my feet
This Novemb...

Vita hominum flos est
Inscribed on Emanuel Sweert's painting 'Florilegium': Man's life is a flower.
Like a flower, he comes forth, then withers away;
like a fleeting shadow, he does not endure.
Book of Job 14:2
While I watched, her blossom
faded from the field
left no shadow
Now all life expects in this eleventh hour
we should revere lost heroes with a flower
But I shall not ...

Crashing waves
The beats of my heart... still
lovingly embracing
the night sky
ember ebbs to forever
I witness the stars
as they greet
where souls meet
under a galaxy of
loving dreams
of forever

I know
Fading memories
my soul concealing
hurt from my
aching heart
I am soaring
with majestic
angels on a bright red
persian dream
In a dream
where you never leave
In a dream
where you are still holding me
Tranquil sounds...
with every key
it moves me
further away from you
Paralyzed with fear
of forgetting your beautiful face
I know I...

Ancient love
Nights
oh, lonely nights
liquid comfort
the classics a backdrop of a scene
Memories of love
memories of you
I do not hide my pain
I feel it
My pain demands that,
I feel
I remember
I cry
The morning sun
a new day
and more memories
of an ancient love

A river of memories
Johann Sebastian Bach,
the sounds that clear my mind
a river of memories
... flowing
With every
breath,
filling "Air"
into my soul

We Were Beautiful
The complication of those earrings
the texture of the paint around your eyes
the sun's highlights in your hair
The redness of those parting lips
such belief in everything we said
the pristine shape of your nose
Lying on the roof
your head close to my heart
summer blushing the sky
weren't we beautiful
weren't we beautiful then
Nothing to fret about
just prolong the passing day

Inside my soul
I find myself... thinking
about you
Sunsets
Beautiful lyrics
In the sound of
Thunder,
In the calm
of soft rain, drizzling
In all the little things
and inside the
The deepest part
of my soul
Sunday 11th August 2019 4:02 am
Memories of you
Waves washing away
The whispers from my soul
My heart breaking
Drowning all emotions
Wrapping my thoughts with a pretty bow
Willingly letting go
Of all of you
In my solace
I reflect
A glorious
New day
Sunday 4th August 2019 9:47 am
Right here
Deep tranquil aromas
steamy mirrors
warm liquid all around
my senses come alive
fantasies of your touch
in places I soak
in this luxury
reflect
I lay back
and feel
knowing
You are right here, always!

Our rain
OUR RAIN
My face drenched
My hair soaked
Our bodies cling
The sound of thunder
Rain gloriously cleansing our past
Our kiss
Our dance
Our rain
Our love
A memory of our first glance
Our first embrace
Our first kiss
This is our rain
Our dance
Our love
Hope
Trust
Complete at last
Gone with the past

Our connection!
We collide!
With our words!

A Memory Lost in Time
This is one of my longest poems. It tells a story about an adventure I took one day back when I was a teenager. I don't think it's some of my better writing, but maybe you may find it enjoyable.
A Memory Lost in Time
I’ve reached the age
Where many years have passed me by.
Lost memories have become buried
Mixed in the years lost by time.
Every so often, unexpected like.
Something...

Always.
Do you still think about me?
Am I one of your painful memories?
Do I cross your mind when you're all alone and trying to sleep?
I can say that all is the truth for me
I'm just a grain of sand and you are the sea.
You wrap around my brain until I can't fucking breathe.
Do you remember trying not to cry?
The day we finally said goodbye.
Feeling like we're alone but surrounded by a hundre...

Your Light, Our Youth
The strength of your light
catches me unguarded
how brightly you shine
blooming brilliantly
how welcome
how confusing to me
The confidence of your glow
magnetic from all angles
I'm softened in the shadows
but your light does not permit them
so welcome
so challenging to me
Brighter than in our youth
brighter still than photographs
we talk and take a new one
twenty years since the...

Bears
Bears, bears, bears!
There were bears everywhere
Now he saw them, all those bears throughout his years.
The Panda Bear.
She would come out and stare, and stare.
Blinking ringed black eyes against the rare glimpsed sky.
Serene and sober
Conversely troubled but not in a rage
She'd think for a minute, slowly turn, then go back to her cage.
The Grizzly Bear.

The Best Way to Grieve for a Child
They never changed that room.
Dolls, teddy bears, trains,
And transformers all hold space,
Lock time in perpetual stasis.
When death comes life stops.
Family said they should pack
Things away. It’s too hard
To be reminded day after day
Of a future lost in the past,
But a room can be a memorial.
It’s a museum of childhood,
Until a child of a later
Generation discovers it with
Glee....

In the Closet
Through the kitchen, down the hall, in the last room on the left. There's a box in the closet. Small and square, behind some sweaters. Safe in a quiet place, yet always on my mind...
More than just a trinket, it's like an amulet
For when I hold it in my hands, my head and heart forget.
A talisman of testimony, to what was once so true
This tiny little object that makes me think of...

Growing apart
Yes, we met to grow apart someday..
In the stillness of night, mind wanders to seek them..
who became fond memories or subjects of condemn..
A quest to seek solvent to unsolved relation conundrum..
The life's core made by them bit by bit.. atom by atom..
Yes, we met to grow apart someday..
Their existence and vitality once made living reverberant
Traces lying of them in the distant...

Past's Prologue
The trees still sentinel stood
their green leaves whispering
rustling gently in the wood
in the same soft breeze
and I know some summer birds
sang in their canopy
a requiem without words
'neath the same blue sky
that through every passing year
quietly watched over me
safe within Ceredig's sphere
It has been too long a time
since our firs...

hide and seek
hide and seek
one thousand and one
one thousand and
my head pressed against the bark
on the tree by the pond side
where the ducks quack back
at the boy with the ball
whose dreams are
not yet fully formed
two one thousand and three
one thou
sat by the brown muddy water
with schoolbooks spilling from bags
a kiss on the cheek
and we carve ...

Lost at sea a battle against dementia and me
When i look into your eyes
I know your still there somewhere inside
And as each passing day
Goes by I know another part of your memory dies
But you won't remember the goodbyes and it's hard not to sit here and cry
Because your trapped inside
All The confusion the conclusion
That your drifting away
Well I know that ships don’t stay long at bay
And will soon be h...

Your seven.
Walking hand in hand
Your seven.
Wide eyes.
Big world.
Small warm hand
Reaches for and
Buries in my paw.
Mans hand, callouses and oil.
But still fists full of love.
Protection and love.
We kick leaves.
High
Golds and reds.
Asphalt coated
In browns and beauty.
The leaves fly up
Whirl and flow
Swirling
Unplanned patterns.
Stick to our shoes
