Snapshot of a Coastal Village
Forever framed in my mind
Are the flowing colors,
Coursing through the city
Through the neon-blazed dusk
~
Along with every curse and complaint sung out
Into the steam of summer nights
Before their parched words combust
~
Even fists swung in rage
The moving parts of humankind
The strained words lovers leave
Before they fray apart and shout
~
I miss the chatter of caravans
Of poets in exile
Their curved words dancing
Over shared sacred ground
~
Forever framed in my mind
Are those juvenile years
That long ago fury
Sprawling wider everyday

A distant future
We will meet again in the future,
with you and me at different stages of life, and we will smile at each other to acknowledge our memories,
about how our love stayed,
and we parted....
©andreakulove17 2 2It's Been A While
It's been a while
Since I gave you a retrial
And felt the sweet cling
Of your vial
The needle sting
Oh, it makes me smile
Pulls on my heartstrings
Oh, it's been a while
It's been a while
Since you pulled
On my heart stings
And made me smile
I want to take a swing
Oh, go grab a vial
To feel the sweet cling
Oh, give it a retrial

Remnants//
I know it was our last but,
I can still smell the fragrance of your hair,
when we sat there on the precipice,
Your eyes on the horizon, mine on you,
Breath still ragged from a climb
so wearing yet elating,
Heart pounding in my ears like it's the last,
all the while your irises reflected the moaning valley.
I know it was our last but,
I can still feel the first rush of tingle,
when your hands brushed against mine,
While you hopped alongside
without a care in the world.
I swear time stopped in that fraction of a moment,
And I promised the heaven
I would make you mine.
I know it was our last but,
I still remember the way
your fingers pulsated in my palms,
all the while my mind raced to the first day of fall,
two decades later,
The two of us on a walk,
Autumn leaves caressing your delicate cheeks,
You ranting while I listen enraptured.
I know it was our last but,
I've felt no other high like the one you gave
when you rested your head on my shoulder,
and my whole world collapsed beneath your feet,
Euphoria engraved into my whole existence,
Memory latched onto my consciousness,
as stubborn as the lump in my throat,
that resurfaces with every winter morning.
I know it was our last but,
I still crave for a little more of our lasts,
your disarming smile,
and the softness of your hands,
so that I could carry with me the remnants of our lasts.
I know I could conquer the world with it,
But what good is the world to me
without you by my side.

Game
Ah another new song
To write to once more;
Ah another broken heart,
I’m upset again, something you adore
Here’s to another risk,
I take in name of our story;
To forget how you hide,
Crawling out when you like; it's that easy?
Through those mixed signals,
Are you trying to lose me too?
Promising me again and again,
Are you trying to love me? Be true
Had held onto your hand,
To smile more, to craft few more dreams;
But this game of hide and seek,
I am so lost, where do you run to, whose realms?
Shadows circling my sky
New fears every day, ever again
Are those echoes of my past?
Or are they sirens of your game?
Frozen at your indifference
Melting with songs you sing;
Where do I go now?
How do I escape this boxing ring?
I can see you honey,
For a change, I’ll be your villain,
I’m tired you see, waiting,
So I’ll be playing with you, your own game..
©ananya_writes_8 3- sumera04 Amazing.... really touched..❤❤
- ananya_writes_ @sumera04 thank you♥️
- peachytae_ This is so true
What if
Al the promises I promised you are going down the drain
These memories I can't think of because they cause me pain
You're gone and I feel as if I'm dying inside
This life has been a hell of a bumpy ride
I'm not saying that I need you
But what if that was true
Would you attest to the stars about what you would do
Within my heart yes you rest as if inside my bed
And yet you're gone and I still long with you inside my head
I thought about what life without you is like
And I've realized that is just an endless neverending hike
Without your smile I don't have the light that I need within the dark
No fireflies for me to chase when I visit our old park
I see you every where I go
I just wanted you to know
With these two hands I gave you my heart
And Im reaping what I sew
But even gone you're still beside that tree
No matter how blurry or if I can't see
I always feel your arms around me

©stella_writesPhoto By Martin Brechtl on Unsplash8 0Your pillow talk
Do you talk about me to your girl?
About those habits of mine.
How I use to like the smell on your neck?
How much I like it when you kiss my sweet spot?
And how you would sneak in my bed just to cuddle me?
Do you remember those?
Do you talk often?
©anon87954 0Not a day goes by without reminiscing your beautiful smile I used to crave for just like rain needed to quench the thirst of dry land, now it's like a barren land longing for that cloud which already left somewhere else for someone else.

I just grab a pen and paper or a notebook
If I wish to write poems, quotes or lyrics
Or I use my phone's notes and social media
If I wanted it virtual and modern;
Then I feel the rush of thoughts
Going with the flow of emotions,
Listening to my intuition—Spirit voice,
And following the rules of the club;
Reminiscing my experiences,
Putting creative art in writing—
Direct, simple yet deep enough
To capture the heart of the soul
That is doomed by the shadows of sin,
Or awaken the dormant thinker
That is veiled by the hypnotizing covers
Of this world's scheme of things;
Besides, little things matter
Like the present moment's wonders—
Appreciating and delighting in the senses
And the outside world from where borne
My internal motivation to write;
These are just the tools that I use
For my soul's relief, learning, and poetry.

Love can happen as many times it wants. Because it is love, not a single time card. But when it does it should not be the effect of previous break over. Never start a new relationship with a previous relationship baggage. That will not create a good journey. Not to forget, every Journey is a new song.
@mirakee @mirakeeworld @writersnetwork @writersbay @love_whispererr #melody #wod #love #reminiscingYou are like a song
You are like a song
Reminiscing about past.
Whereas mind requesting
Not to repeat that fast.
You are like a song
Holding the joy
Through hip and hand
Tightly along the coy
You are like a song
Love or hate, maybe
Bundle of together
Best to get in world.
©jan_balan26 2 7Why do you make me sick Mr Moon?
All I do is look at you, then I think of him.
©mahaa_na4 0 1Far away a star shone
In that moist rainy night
On that lengthy lonely road
It has always been tough walking
Where clouds cried but never snowed.
Far away a star shone
In that fuzzy freckled sky
Nothing seemed important then
Only I couldn't laugh just echoed cry.
But everybody was gone
Turned to waste within a minute
In your arms I bled and leaked till death
It was all that innocent moonlight yet astute.
In that clear azure sky
Something was always missing
Still flowers of hope were blooming
And my story was somehow breathing.
Reminiscing old days
Lived a life full of regret
Even time couldn't heal some
How could I then simply forget.
Wait is all now remains
Biding time to hang my soul
Drenched in red it won't easily soak
Not everyone gets all that copious dole.

#pod #whatineverhad #reminiscing #notsad #grateful #treasure #friendsandfamily #permanentpeople #soulmatesforlife #loveyouall #lotsofloveWhat I Never Had
I recall of never having a friend. Yes, even though I made some over the years, however, I never got to befriend with my parents. Parents are supposed to be the ones closest and dearest friends of a child and I never experienced it because I never got them with me. They were busy, making money for me and my future. I am grateful of the result but yes, this is something that I deeply felt and still feel.
I never received or had support from my support system- my family. Whatever I did was a matter of joke to them or an act and product of immaturity. Whatever I did was meaningless and ordinary. If asked about it, I got the behaviour that it was too precious to be wasted on somebody like me, as precious as the time and energy, as precious as the money and precious metals.
However, my closest people leaving me in the times of crises, and ceasing to love me, are also some things that I never had. Whenever something happened in my life, I found them, their shoulders to cry upon and laps to fall asleep. The consolations that never sounded like pity but were empowering in every manner. The qualities that inspired me to be a better human being in every aspect, every day. The qualities that are rarely found in these days. I found a lot more than what I never possessed.

How do they look exactly the same...?
Her hands were soñ and small. Just like she used to have when she was young, He thought, holding her fingers. They were sitting on the patio steps playing with chalk. She was making silly drawings and blabbering in her own language. He was clueless about what she was saying, nonetheless it was music to his ears.
He had held her when she was first born. At that moment, now her grandfather thought about holding her mom in his arms. He could tell the difference. His granddaughter is way more beautiful than her mom.
He remembers. He thought he could never hold his daughter in his arms again when she got married. He could never feed her; never teach her; never play with her again. He thought his chance was over. It feels like I’ve got a second chance, he smiled down at his granddaughter.
“Dadadada....” she poked him and showed him her scribbles. It was art to his eyes. “What is it? What did you draw for this old man?” he asked. “B” she giggled. He laughed at the toddler who forgets ‘A’ and jumps ‘B’ always. “ It looks good. Now write AAAAAA” he dragged. “BBBBBB” she dragged and scribbled again. He chuckled at her antics and looked up...
Thank you for a second chance...

Time was running out.
They knew very well.
Letting eyes speak those
Thousands of feelings
Their mouth couldn't tell.
Her hands entwined in his
Sharing one last kiss
Relieving all those moments
That they'd miss.

- For Old Times’ Sake -
What’s missing is an old habit
A habit that was a part of everyday
Now lives down a memory lane.
It’s that memory from yesterday,
that recalls every now and again,
Of the company that we kept everyday
and crave for those days to relive again,
With the comfort of no judgements
and nonsensical conversations
Tears of joy with smiles of failures
It was a journey of miles —
that’ll forever reside
that’ll draw dews and chuckles in the mind
Every time one rewinds

Everyone have good and bad personalities but we should know that we can't go on if we even let one of the personalities die or suppress. We are the owner of our personalities but sometimes it's ok to let loose your personalities and give them space.
A happy person is not always happy and a sad person doesn't always like isolation.
Give your loved ones space but not that much that they forget about your existence and start to think that nobody cares.WHEN I AM NOT HAPPY WITH MYSELF
I just let myself
Drown in the deep ocean.
On the path of those memories.
I reminisce myself,
What I did
Was gone,
What I had
Was gone.
But what I am
Is the result of what I did,
What I had
Isn't really gone
From this good old
Memory lain.
I know that there's still
A whole lot of empty pages
To fill.
It's not that easy,
It's not that hard,
It's not impossible
And even if it is
I still wanna try..15 0 2We weren't even that close to be together all time. I can understand that so well. So I don't hate you for whatever happened. I wish it didn't though

Reminiscence
Life was good
Back in those days
When the littlest things
Brought me the greatest joys.
I think about those days
When everything in the world
And everyone around me
Seemed so simple and kind.
Maybe one day I'll learn
To appreciate the present
Maybe one day I'll stop
Reminiscing what's already gone.
