The Day After

.

How my life changed.

The Day After      -     08 Feb 21 

Transient thoughts 

Wash wave-like across my mind 

Bearing images of forgotten times 

Emptiness 

Once held me 

The day after I banished it 

My life changed 

Was given new meaning 

Love filled me 

I became me 

. 

Let this happen for you.

Where ~ When

A sad little tale which grew just a short time after the last poem was birthed, the mood is totally different.





Where ~ When  -  26 Mar 14

There is a time
When old memories
Fade
The mind hopes
For new 
Shapes and thoughts
To fill the void
But sometimes
Just sometimes
This does not happen
And the emptiness
Is all there is
Dream on into
The memory-less
World
Hoping





A change at least in part, to show that I can do it.

Competition

A new poem wandered into my mind, with gentle encouragement from Muse, it grew fairly quickly and I present it here.  The structure of a "count down" wasn't actually intended originally but I felt that it was good and I continued till it was complete.





Competition  -  12 Aug 12


Emptiness tried to claim me
Loneliness was already here
Between them
The melancholy choir
Was complete

Cobwebs on unused dreams
Did nothing but collect dust
And hide the light
From my eyes

Felt that all I saw
All I felt
Was all

Began to hear
New music

And then an Angel sang






Getting a feeling that this is the first poem of a pair ~ it this is the case, then part two will appear before too long, I hope.
