Memories tumble and turn
like an alleycat on the prowl
leaving pawprints in the refuse
as he twists his way into the unknown

Time's wheel turns in my head
but like the cat, it follows no straight path,
instead, it wanders crookedly amid the dust
and tatters of memory

My friend...a good friend
yet ...

An invitation to one and all...travel down your memories and place your feet upon the path where words carry you to the past, present or future.

I have in mind a communal poem...where each of you adds some lines or a few stanzas. I know there are writers in our midst. I know there are expressive ...

How can we cope
With that which is denied
Are we not masters
Of our own life’s tide?

Watching the pain behind the pain
The agony of doubt and
Longing in your eyes
I so want to free you
Make your pain take wing
Take it within myself
Roll it up tight and fling
It far, far away

Anything! That’s ...

Questions…

Who will be there
To lift me up and support me
To hold my hand
When I am old?

How will I know
My surroundings
When my sight has gone
And my touch is cold?

What will I have
As my reason for living
For my heart’s continued beating
Still wishing to live a life so bold

Where will my ...

Volition

No longer conformed
I seek the new
Treading unknown paths
Swathed in morning's dew
Ever seeking

No quest left unfulfilled
No dreams left fading whilst sleeping
No thoughts e'er quelled

Twould be the greatest sadness
The deepest loss
A shattered view
To think and never act
Upon those ...

Ah, and here I thought there were writers...I've seen Haiku and re done song lyrics... :scratch:


In My Dreams

Thy form appears
through the night,
through the day

Awake, with it my fancy teems
In sleep, it smiles in fleeting dreams

Your vision charms the hours away
and bids me curse Auroras ...

DESCENT

My mind walks down the shattered streets of memory
Enshrouding darkness dims my vision
Makes thoughts tumble like errant feet on broken stone

What path leads me on?
Where will my unfettered wanderings leave me?
Stranded and alone…a blasted island in a roiling dark sea
Wind-scoured ...

Palimpsest

An odd word and an ancient one...but one that fittingly describes how our electronic age is oft times ephemeral and words we place here today may be gone in an instant, flicked away by a stray electron or perhaps preserved for our children's ...
