Remember

.

Something rising out of the past.

Remember     -     13 Apr 20 

I knew you 

Years ago 

I still recall 

The words spoken 

I remember 

Fragments 

Of those days 

They can never 

Return except as 

Ghosts 

Time has moved on 

But the ghosts 

Remain 

. 

Sometimes they are only part remembered but they still remain. 

. 

Memories Of The Road

One of those images which crawled up out of my memory.





Memories Of The Road  -  14 Aug 15

On the long road
From the sea
Memories come
To greet me
Old long lost friends
Share the past
From the past
Ghosts of memories
Still haunt
Pretending to be real
They walk beside me
Whispering their stories
Again





Interesting how things which are thought to be long-forgotten suddenly present themselves for inspection again.

Silent Days

Really not certain what this poem is, it has elements of "limite surréaliste" and something else, though I know not what.





Silent Days  -  07 Oct 13

Silent days
Follow silent nights
Ghosts of winter
Wait
Secret places call
Beckon with invisible hands
Inviting
Winter is coming soon

Silent songs
Play only in the mind
Can be heard
In the phantom breeze
That ripples the curtains
Of the mind





Muse works in mysterious ways.

Wakening

This grew, somewhat unexpectedly, in the late evening yesterday and the early morning of today.





Wakening  -  15 May 13


Memories slumbering
In the depths of my mind
Calling to me to stir
The shadows of a thought

Words unspoken
Haunt the recesses
And dark places
Where ghosts never go

Secrets whisper among themselves
Gathering form making shapes
Becoming
More than just whispers

Then with just a word
From an ancient spell
The fragments gathered
Wakening

I cannot but help getting the feeling that there is a sequel brewing.
