Recollections

Recollections remain
in the nadir of my mind
I watch descending rain
to quietly pass the time.
          A recollect of tune
          in the sole of my mind
          it was our ruin
          in the channels of rhyme.
                    A recall of colors
                    blue eyes mixing with green
                    all those pulsing colors
                    taken leave with the dream
                              A memory of touch
                              close and warm
                              though needed much
                              never again to be born.
                    A recall of tears
                    falling freely, fast & vast
                    for its time our love,
                    you said, had past.
          A memory of crying
          long moments of while
          by & by soft sobs of sighing
          too soon for a smile.
Now I wear wise the smile
over what wasn't meant to be
forthwith recollecting remains
and watch it rain all the while

Wow, that is quite a while ago. I'm glad you still have it, because I enjoyed reading it. I like the way you formatted it too.

I like the layout...and your words move so smoothly... Neat!   Very well done.

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

Karilea~
Oh, I like very much !

The format is quite stunning and the
content is more than satisfying.
Nicely done, poet.

Karilea, this is an oldie? I don't believe it, this just goes to show that you were always good, doesn't it!! Stunningly presented, and written so beautifully. That's it, I'm going to get myself a new head, and this time I want the one that works!!
You know that this is good don't you, and that I love it! I knew you did!!
Take care

Yes, Marsha, I was 17...and I will admit, when I pulled this out recently, there were only two words that I changed...

but that was all...

and I am very glad you liked it...
