Fiction

.

Truth is never told.

Fiction       -       05 Jan 23 

Forgotten ways 

The myth of history 

Fiction told by the victors 

To justify their actions 

After the events 

. 

Truth can be found. 

. 

Dawn Light

.

A lot of things happen in that pale light.

. 

Dawn Light        -        29 Jan 22 

In a forgotten world 

A secret was born 

From soft words 

And even softer kisses 

In the pale dawn light 

. 

The Lovliest secrets are born this way. 

. 

Fading Memories

.

How things change.

Fading Memories     -     02 Aug 20 

In a distant past 

I thought I knew 

The people who were 

In my life 

I thought I knew 

My friends 

Then I found that 

They were just 

Memories fading 

Into the dusk of 

Forgotten days 

Unreal phantoms 

Of forgotten days 

. 

People I knew are fading. 

. 

Captured Images

.
Memories of times and places, held forever.

Captured Images   -   05 Aug 19

A drawing of a forgotten flower
In an unremembered
Sketchbook
Half-filled with pencil lines
Images lost now
Captured in a faded page

.
I have many half-filled books like this.

.

Finding

.
Things you come across when clearing up your space.

.
Finding   -    06 Sep 18

Going through some old things
Finding some forgotten memories
Trapped on scraps of paper

Some so forgotten
That the words mean nothing
To me anymore

What did I do
What was I thinking
I will never know

Disposing of the fragments
No memories remain
Except in the void

.
Curious sense of freedom but with a nagging feeling of loss.

.

Looking Beneath

Inspired by the process of some serious tidying and clearing.





Looking Beneath  -  14 May 18

Exploring places I should know

Discovering things

Long forgotten

Not even a feint memory

When I am looking beneath

I discover them anew

The memory crawls back

Now that the process has begun I expect to find more old memories.

Ancient Songs

There are many old songs and this is about one of the oldest.





Ancient Songs  -  06 Mar 18

The words

Oft times forgotten

The Heart always

Remembers

Even though the songs

Were born in

In ancient times

I can remember.

Forgotten Emotions

Barely recalled memories and emotions from times past.





Forgotten Emotions  -  12 Dec 14

Forgotten
Emotions wander through
Mind and body
The form of you
Still holds my attention
All I see
Is how happy we are
Old emotions of other people
Gladly forgotten





It is interesting how some people re-emerge, unwanted, in memories.

Deserted Dreams

I was reading a poem by my Lovely friend dani when Muse suggested that I paid more attention to two words.  I asked permission to use them and the poem flowed very quickly.





Deserted Dreams  -  30 May 13

On an old tired landscape
Shapes lie abandoned
Discarded
Like old memories
Near forgotten
From mind

Crying in the wilderness
Of yesterday
Hanging on the thorns
Of misremembered days
Like tattered cloth
Deserted dreams

They hope to be collected
Patched ~ pieced together
Made whole again
To fill the space left
Where the dreams
Used to play

The poem I read can be found here ~

~ and I really would Love to thank dani for permission to quote from her poem.

I would also thank Muse for drawing my attention to these words.

The Silence Is Loud

This is the second of the poems that were birthed two nights ago.





The Silence Is Loud - 15 Aug 10

Silence will remain
Shouting across the sand
Trying to take us back
Into the place
Where we were
And still are...
In my mind

Forgotten times
Where our toys
Lie abandoned
Playroom ignored
The places in our minds
Allowed to remain
Gathering dust
Cobwebs
Tired memories
Wishing they could return
To live again

Take my hand
We can try to bring them back
All we have to do
Is want
They wait...
Patiently
For our touch





This poem would have appeared yesterday if I hadn't been interrupted by a lovely walk to the sea.
