Last Commented Nostalgia Poems (1,154)

Darkness...

You are not here.

Candle flame...
Reminder of you.

The mind looks for answers
Which not come.
Questions are digging
The soul
While dilemmas
Are growing the fog.

Memories, past, present,
Become fluid.
Intelligence.
It turns into nothing.

Looking the light.
Trying rescue inside.
I want to be strong
While crying with tears

of wax.

C omeliest of maidens
Upon your beauty
People stared in awe
It's not surprising
Deep Cupid fell when
Arrow pierced his foot
Now Venus grew angry
Did not like this
Pass in the least
She cursed her
Your fate a monster
Come you to wed
How did Cupid stop this
Easy he told Jupiter
He ordered Venus cease
In peace and harmony
Cupid and Psyche lived
Always will true love win

Take a walk today down memories lane
what is it that you remember the most
is it the childhood memories of Spain
maybe the first time you went to the coast

into the waves you ran without a care
dancing and tumbling you played carelessly
drifting out to sea you had a big scare
when saved your mother grasped you tightly

or could it be the day you fell in love
all starry eyed remembering that kiss
like a shooting star falling from above
never had experienced such bliss

memories last a lifetime don't fade
reminiscences can not be mislaid

She stands on the mountain top as far as she can go
Over the edge there is nothing
The quiet closes her in a blanket
The wind lifts her hair and strokes its fingers over her face
Like a lovers touch,
She closes her eyes and lifts her hands to him.
He slips around her body and wraps his breath around her soul
She stands and lets him love her for hours
Smiles and opens her eyes
Sighs
And walks slowly back to the world where she has to be strong again.

Picked up this pen to let my emotions flow down through,
Only to have the ink rush out onto the paper like emotions do.
Then I watch helpless as the ink comes into shape and form,
Words that I would describe me all together like a perfect storm.
I look down at my hand as the final drip of ink falls down,
As I rise from the chair looking for the person making me a clown.
Only to find myself alone at a table set for two in a empty place,
Walking away from the paper the ink forms the words Empty space.

To be chased amongst the waves
to only pray the sands are near

dripping souls so wasted
within the wreck
of booms
silently folding to the sea

the roar of untimed

curses melting to the weed

no silent stay
would be upon

the wretched gulping
water to breath

of shoes a lonely float
glistening rings

befell
the journey
to the bar

of grasping sands

train wreck sounds
hollow the squalls

which man shall be succumbed
slipping creaking

I looked

no floating cargo
but smashed and lonely

winds carried me away

The west called
amongst the bush i crawled

a silent cargo
i stayed
I built
I never forgot

and here I shall

live amongst my plot

Yesterday's now long gone
never can return
just a brief passing moment
in the relentless march of time

today we live, laugh and love
share precious moments
all far too brief
while the wheel of time turns

what could tomorrow bring?
if the veil was lifted?
would we be any wiser
could things have been altered

alas its not for us to know
we have our yesterdays
with all the mistakes made
today we live with what was done

Dar es salaam harbour acrostic

Dar harbour full of teeming life
A mass of colourful ships and boats
Radiant do your waters gleam

Each wave gently lapping the shore
Sails fluttering in the breeze

Slowly yet violently the yachts jib
As they sail and tack against the wind
Loud blast out the ships horns
As the tugs pilot them to sea or dock
And the gulls screech diving in their wakes
Many colourful dhows sail in to moor

Hot breezes on my face
As midday temperatures soar
Raising our sails we float
Bringing our bows into the wind
Out to sea we are headed
Under full sail we skim the waves
Ready for what ever adventures await

In 1958 we went to Dodoma
there's a sleepy place
on the outskirts we lived
nightly, rubbish bins scatted
as big cats and hyenas scavenged
Leopards living a mile away
250 yards only or so then
straight into the bush
mangoes growing in our garden
yummy as you bit down on one
a flood of nectar down your chin
on safari often we would go
canvas so thick it weighed a ton
ridge poles six inches thick
nightly, lions prowled and roared
send icy shivers down our spines
guns we had and knew how to use them
sheaf knife always at your waist
by age of ten I could gut and skin a deer
this was survival at the edge
as meat was only airlifted in once a month
cattle too riddled with pests and T.B for us to eat
monsoons, oh that rain like 7 tubs of bath water
dumped on your head at once
dry parched earth suddenly a river 2-3 inches deep
poor little birds lying stunned under the trees
yet 30 minutes later after it ceased, the earth
once more parched and dry, crumbly in our hands
all this and so much more
was my childhood play ground
ah Africa, Sweet Sweet Africa
I love you still, and always will
