Posted: 3/31/2007 10:44:20 AM | Thinking that this thread could be so abundent, and full. Our lives are made up of memories. Many of sweetfelt, heartfelt memories, whether they are of childhood, just of past aquantinces, maybe some good, many not so good. They are envisioned in our minds daily, never forgotten. Many may bring tears to our eyes, feelings we all carry throughout our lifetimes. Things that may have been done to us, happenings that maybe lifted us up, or brought us down. Places or things, people, incidents, pets, friends, love ones, occurences in our lives. Many have touched us deeply, in good or maybe not so good ways. We may have tried to forget them , they were so sad, bad, hard, but we cannot. Sometimes placing them down on pages in words, in some way helps us release them from our minds. Many we would not trade for anything as they carry us daily through our lives, and bring us a smile each day.
In this thread I would hope we can place any memory, and its contents into poetry,
thus letting us all feel along with the writer, and know more about each and every one.
Feel free to enjoy, write, remember, or just release! This could be so good for all of our souls.No one is excluded, and all invited. Please let us place our memories on page,
and the outcome could make for a release, or a smile, a tear , maybe just a feeling for all to meet and read. ~~~~~~~~~~~thanks jules~~~~~~~~~~~~
To start , I will convey a dear memory of mine, that shall never leave my mind!
I remember you, like it was yesterday
Your face, your hair, your smile
your gentle ways
Never weak, always strong
The one everyone looked up to
yet I knew , your life was not alright
you had to be everything for everyone
never did you falter, or fall
though the one you loved
left you , often in deep despair
you did not let it keep you down
you worked hard , everyday
you raised a child, in your way
You amazed me with your grace
your talents, nothing was too much a challenge
You finally found a man
who loved you for all you were
I was so happy
and to be sure
He made our lives a better place
Now my God, how I miss your face
It has been seven years now
you left us all so , sweetly
Where has the time gone
It is as if, your face was just here
I see it in my dreams, so real
Missing all you brought, and taught
My dear Ma , you have my heart
Knowing in my heart today
you sing in Heaven
like it's sweetest angel
I carry on with all your strength
you give me the hope
I have today
If anyone ever touched my life
it is you my dear Ma
and I wish you Peace | |

Posted: 3/31/2007 11:10:36 AM | Remembering times , long ago
a trip to the Country in a car
I looked forward to this
like no other
It was family, coming all together
Stopping along the highway
picnics, packed in baskets
fun, we made it such a day!
At last we make it to the old house
Grandma's little tiny place
an outhouse, Whewww,,,
I hated that place
but we made the best,,,
and laughed instead!
A well pump, with clear sparkling water
she would pump it,
and all the children would drink
colder than a glacier, clear
wanting more, we stuck our heads under it!
Many people coming still,
ones we had not seen forever seemed
Gathering on the little front porch
Stories of everyones life,
we listend
Food abundent, like no other place
My grandma cooked like no one else
Games of horseshoe being played
Men with beers, and children laughing
running amuck in the woods,
bringing home treasures
like rocks , and frogs
racing up hills , fresh mown grass
rolling down hills,
hitting our heads
These memories I cherish most,
pictures I have, but ones of the heart
I wish for them so much today
When everyone came out to play
we stayed for the weekends,
so much fun,,,,
tons of folks,,sleeping everywhere
A family reunion, with not a care
Big campfires late at nite,
roasting weenies, and marshmallows
Music playing,,,
Grandmas sleeping
in her chair,
the poor old dear
she outdid herself today
but enjoyed it like a gift
was her way! | |

Posted: 3/31/2007 11:32:22 AM | A man that I knew well, I thought
he made me think that life was good
a home , a child, and two in love
then just as simply as it came
the life I had, began to rain
the hardness of it hit me sharp
I carried on , awhile I hung
Then all at once I became afraid
he threatend me, my child, my place
I left him just like in my dream
It seems I had no one to keep
I carried on for eleven years
a mother, doing all the work
a young child , bills to pay
I wanted more, but had no time
I often made my choices wrong
confusion did set in at times
I felt alone, and no ones bride
I carried on, did my best
Now I beleive, my life was not less
Then once upon a time not long ago
he entered my world again,
to know , how I did all of this
wondered why he missed it all
simply was because his life
had fallen in, and no place to hide
I let him in, to know his son
I even let let him live here some
He liked it so, he would not go
I felt sorry, for the man
that didnt have a place to land
So on we went for a few years
knowing in my heart
I feared,
And just as my intuition said
he found the place,
and off he went
Simply saying, I was kind
and never saying I deny
I do still have a heart for him
but then not the true love
I defend,
my actions simply reeked of son,
and for a man so left alone
So now , he sees me in another light
I am not bad,
I am not his fight
At last we understand oneanother
I am not a weak, one true
he is surely weaker than I
but with this understanding
he see's
we do not hate,
we do not bleed
So off to live his life
for her
Me to live mine, as I do
And a man , now knows his son
no longer lost
my son does see
what in my heart , I did for him | |

Posted: 3/31/2007 12:34:32 PM |   MANDRAke,,thank you my dear friend, please come back, and memories send!
I remember a big ole' house,
old and crumbly in some places
It was home for many years
Down on the poor , bad end of town
It is the house , I grew up in
from a babe, until about seven
Big ole' porch, tiny backyard
Peonies blooming all along the walk
Lillies of the valley smelt
like heaven to this child
I felt this was heaven to me
although we lived in the worst
neighborhood , you see
We had friends living upstairs,
called a duplex
many stairs
But these folks , were family
or friends,
one was my babysitter,
she sent me so much in the time
I had her,
lovely woman, and man!
I drove by this house after many years
searched for it,
it was not there!
Seems they had torn it down,
and gone
The place where my world had begun
Made me weep a many tears
knowing not why,
just made me cry!
The place of all these memories
gone forever,
my poor heart grieved
But memories lie,
I still smell the flowers
see that swingset
I swung on for hours
see the front porch
where I sat,
until my friends
came out to play
the walk to the park
and Oh the way
we enjoyed that
big ole' house
The ghosts that live there
must be still haunt
as I , that day I made that trip! | |

Posted: 3/31/2007 12:53:22 PM | FIRST LOVE
I remember that moment,
That very first day,
When she caught me looking,
And glancing her way.
I was just nine,
With blond curly hair,
She was brunette,
and so very fair.
My heart began pounding,
My palms how they sweat,
I picked up her book,
And then our eyes met.
I studdered and stammered,
And tried hard to speak,
But all I could muster,
Was just a little squeak.
We went to a movie,
The very next night,
I reached out for her hand,
They joined and held tight.
I walked her home,
Both arm in arm,
We reached her front door,
I turned on the charm.
Under the moonlight,
A moment of bliss,
Our heads both leaned in,
As we shared our first kiss.
We went on together,
Three years and a day,
Before the military,
Moved her away! | |

Posted: 3/31/2007 1:07:58 PM | AWWWWWWWWW,,,how sweet that was,,,memories of a first love!
I am sure many , all could write about this angelic moment with such heart! Thanks, dear Mandrake,,,enjoyed that alot!
First loves, like a silent heart
stand alone , but never part
for in our minds and hearts so true
they live a life, their own
inside each and everyone
they keep a place
that never has gone
remembering that first shy look
they way we felt
hearts racing fast
like nothing we had known
atlast, we have one heart of our own
the first it seems will never roam
it stays so brilliant
every page
every word
and promise we made
the first kiss
how lovely, sweet
forever in our heart
we Keep!
The first one that we gave our heart
and promised that we'd never part
but being children in the life
we didn't know how far this lied
But with our hearts and soul
indeed
promised most,
and gave all we needed
Maybe the truest love
we ever gave
so innocent,
and so real
it was bathed
in kindness
meaning
love unforseeing
like an angel
seeking wings!
Let us be this child again
the one whom gives
and truely sends
sweet loving thoughts
first love,
is naught
for in it lies
the truth!
Beleive!

Posted: 3/31/2007 2:34:44 PM | Memories seep unto my soul
like colors on the sunsets glow
I feel each and everyone
Knowing that their presence has
left a footprint in my sand
I often wish to hold them dear
others I wish to leave them there
Feeling all , it seems no sorting
for they dangle in my mind
making life so hard to find
Encouraging my mind
to let go, and then may find
the ones , I hold the dearest
then , release the ones my soul
regrets
If only this were possible
then life would be more pleasurable
so with this poem,
I do try,
release the bad,
and for the good I cry!

Posted: 3/31/2007 2:50:54 PM | Memories are,
just that,
just memories.,
neither good or bad,
just part of me, yet to be,
Released.
Memories are,
Pleasure and pain,
Snow and rain,
Laughter and tears,
Doubts and fears,
Throughout the years.
Memories are,
Shaping and forging,
Creating and evolving,
Making me who I am,
And yet to become.
Holding the pain,
Makes me vain,
Forgetting the pleasure,
Takes from the measure,
Of who I am.
When finally,
I grasp,
All that they are,
Embrace them,
As part of me,
Then I will be,
Forever free! | |

Posted: 3/31/2007 3:11:08 PM | Thanks dear DXOXODAMAN!
Embracing them as part of me
I do this so unknowingly
I keep each one
within it's place
I carry them
within my face
They are so much a part
you see
I am the person I would be
without them
maybe I would be lost
they make me what I am
and just the person
feeling oh so much
I cannot see this as a bad thing
holding each and everything
within my heart
like wisdoms pearls
I wish to only feel more free
Memories are sometimes
hurtful
many, Oh so Gentle!
Without them
what would we be?
without these things
how could we see?

Toxic waters,

Inescapable.

Toxic filters

Wisdom gained,
Free at last. | |

Posted: 3/31/2007 3:52:06 PM | Nice thread Jules...some beautiful writes so far...I am thinking that whatever I shall post upon this thread of past memories will be ones that ONLY give me joy and smile for I don't believe it is good to dwell on the past ones that hurt, those should be left there to not return.
My Brother and Me
When I was a child you could always find me
Searching and exploring among the trees
Creeks, bugs, new treasures to find
Thoughts of this now are lingering in my mind
Carrying pails my brother and I
Gathering coins from water, makes me sigh
Thoughts that we'd be rich, oh what joy!
Young dreams of a girl and a boy
Going down to the park to play
To the lake we'd make our way
Building snow forts , never got cold
We just kept on going, it never grew old
Riding our bikes we didn't know where
We were on an adventure , hadn't a care
Playing house with neighbourhood friends
These memories keep going, shall never end
To be a child and lead with your heart
Will bring you to places that never part
For when we grow old
These are stories to our children that shall be told...........

Posted: 3/31/2007 3:55:44 PM | Summertime Memories
With a sun blazing hot
I look around me
I'm surrounded by children, playing happily
A smile on my face
For they give me such delight
I no longer wish to dwell in the darkness of night
With water hose in hand
They soak each other wet
Seems they haven't got to me yet
I know my time is coming
They won't leave me dry
Watching their play makes me sigh
It is a given that I will join in
Being a big kid at heart
They know their play, I wish to be a part
So many things to have great fun
From camping to hiking, to walks on a beach
These wonderous things I give them, to help me teach
I share my love of nature with them
Parks, water, stars, and more
I show them daily to seek and explore
So here comes the hose
It's directed right at me
I smile and giggle, join in gleefully!

Thanks my dear friend! You found it,,,did you! Just to say,,,this is a place, anyone may post, not only good memories, but some as well, they wish to release!!!! hugs!
There was a time I felt so young
stayed up all nite,
eyes met the sun
eyes saw the moon
and even the stars
I met each one
without a yawn
Now as I try
to do this again!
life reminds me
I am not so young
Memories of time well spent
didn't ever miss a trick
now as I look back
and smile
I have traveled many
miles
As now I chuckle
as my son,
comes and goes
no sleep
all fun
I wonder
My goodness
how does he do it?
I laugh again, at the fun
for he is
only his mothers son!

Hurry, hurry, I'm on the clock!

The queen of Jules,
Has made some tarts,
While playing darts,
So I must get back,
To have a snack. | |

Posted: 3/31/2007 4:30:01 PM | Julesy, Julesy, burning bright,
Like a queen in the night,
Casting spells upon the men,
Leading them in to her den!
Dressed in transparent lace
Her den she did grace,
Feeding her grapes and cheese,
The slaves just wanting to please.
Into the pool she did undress,
all the slaves in birthday best,
Let the orgy begin,
In this den of sin! | |
|
| Infinite Memories
Posted: 3/31/2007 4:50:24 PM | Mandrake, what must this be?
A memory or more of a fantasy?
Not sure for whom
you or me?
Casting spells upon the men
enticing them into my den
dressed in only transparent lace
men in birthday suits
sounds great!
Now wishing for the best memory yet
the one that I shall never forget
when all the men
come out of the pool
am sure to find the one
whom stands out
among the rest!
This would be the best test yet!

Posted: 3/31/2007 7:55:13 PM | Thoughts of You
A smile takes me back in time
To memories sweet, truly mine
A woman's face I do see
One who meant the world to me
I see my tiny feet step into her shoes
Pretending to be her, a thing I loved to do
She gave me those pretty shoes one day
So I could take them home, forever to play
They stayed with me for years to come
Until one day they sadly came undone
I longed to stay at her home
This was where my true spirit was allowed to roam
Amazing love I felt within her care
It's something I have never felt anywhere
This lady of my heart, is my grandmother
To me I shall never find that love from another
It seems so long ago since I've heard your voice
I know why you are gone, it was not your choice
So many days I sit, silently think of you
Longing for times, to create memories new
You are gone from this world , but remain in my heart
Thinking of you now, the tears do start
You taught me to love freely, to welcome friends
I take that with me, I'll practise your lessons to the end
I miss you sweet Mary, know this is true
There isn't a day I don't think of you...........
Wicked........she gives me the best memories of my past, miss you lots ! | |

Posted: 3/31/2007 9:52:04 PM | Jules...what a splendid place to share memories! Thank you for inviting me. So many amazing poems already and you just started it today...Wonderful!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Memories like cobwebs in the corner of my mind
Remembering the loves gained and lost
Each one special in their own unique way
Worth the heartache and pain they all cost.
A longing that tugs every night and each day
Awakening desires hidden away
Wondering if ever I'll just be free
Within a collar deigned just for me.
Remembering the look of this one or the touch of that
The words of another flooding my soul
The honeyed caress of a former obsession's hand
Washing over me like tidal waves roll.
A part of me wanting to go back in time
But to which command I dare not speak
A longing to return to good times we shared
Hoping to find that fulfillment I seek.
Memories like cobwebs in the corner of my mind
Continue to haunt fleeting dreams every night
The girl within struggling to find her way
To that moment in time that will be worth the fight.

Posted: 3/31/2007 10:05:14 PM | ~~~*Moments*~~~
Lucidity comes and goes
like waves of nausea
that roll over my synapses,
producing momentary clarity.
A gasp of terror
at the confusion
within the hallowed halls
of my psyche
echoes; replacing the silence.
Incoherent ramblings creep
unbidden into my mind;
making me question
their authenticity.
Are they my own
rantings or theirs?
Needing to find out,
out damn spot!
Do not stain my soul
with the crimson
underpinnings of your eyes.
Do not blind my foresight
with demented gouging.
Let me see
the halls of darkness
beckoning me to unearth
tombs of morbidity.
Lost in a sea
of inconsequential questions,
I stroke my breast
and swim to the murky shore.
No clearer
is it here?
No ambiance awaits me.
My journey for naught;
I turn to resume my wanderings.
Heading back inside the doom
prepares me for the awaiting
message I seek
to discover, the shaking
reverberating through
my terror filled corpse;
closer it creeps,
into my very being.
The incessant shouting begins,
its frantic tones
scarring me forever.
“Wake up, wake up.
It’s just a bad dream”.
{Yeah I know...a bit dark...(shrug)}

Posted: 4/1/2007 6:34:46 AM | My next two, I wrote for another thread, so I will place them here.
Even though my grandma is dead,
I still remember the smell of fresh bread,
Then came the rolls, and then apple pie,
My heart did a flip flop, and a heavenly sigh.
All the scents of a home, filled with love,
My granny, my angel, sent from above.
I remember the time, she taught me to knit,
Or, at least she tried, just not the right fit.
Never give a jock, needles or thread,
Give him a hockey stick, or football instead,
But she never gave up, and finally one morn,
A warm, fuzzy PINK?? sweater was born!! | |

| Infinite Memories
Posted: 4/1/2007 6:39:31 AM | I remember the first catch,
When I was barely six,
A very long hike,
Down through the sticks.
Through thickets and woodlands,
And bugs that all bite,
I looked back to see,
The road out of sight.
We arrived at the river,
And hardly to wait,
I loaded my rod,
My hook I did bait.
I ran to the water,
And cast out my line,
Those times with my father,
Fond memories of mine. | |
