Friends: the memories of the past


Friends turned unknown, Form abandoned sides
Forever changing world explored, ageing over time
Grown into old, still togetherness existed in mind

An experienced past dreamt, peaceful thought repeated
Memories unfolded, drained happiness once foretold
Danced by riversides, golden fields explored, knee high grass
Brushed against skins, absorbed summers air breathed in.

Preyed on souls, laid bounded, grass tangled flesh
Sprinkled dust, thickened air, sounded alert
Footstep soon heard, crushed particles to soiled earth

The game, Hide and seek, a childhood joy
Wondering hands, scratched skin, Blooded bladed grass
Touched lump, hidden away, covered in blankets
Made of nature, brought to life by a child’s mind  

Awoken wide-eyed, memory emptied away
Sweat covered face, lasted evidence, dried
Dreamt world died, a forever ended game

Past life vanished, present day remains
Death of childhood friends, reconnected
Thoughts cry tears, the grief submerged

Closed eyed body, Drowned By Flooded memories
Rots to dusted air, at last set free from this earth
Swarmed essence, breezed to heavens gate

As always,
beautiful.
Expressing just enough.

Lee, very well done.

It appears your words have come from somewhere deep under the surface. Raw emotion and memory you use so well here.

I'm impressed how your poetry has developed so much in the time you have been here.
