Mindbender's Poems
Memories that never fade
I thought I heard you whisper me one day
How is my former lover by the way?
Do you still recall that captured smile?
That spoke a thousand meanings for a while
Do you remember when we didn't have a care?
Would walk through rain and laughter share?
Would find those moments in between
Where wasted times just grey and mean?
How are you now my greying, long lost friend?
I often think of you when eve descends
You were my life, my all back then
How did we part, how did it end?
It's hard sometimes to think you're still around
Across some ocean but can't be found
But I still have the book of memories close
They still remind me of your loving ghost!

Re: Mindbender's Poems
I had a great aunt once who always spoilt us kids but annoyed the adults! It's a long story but she finished up living alone with all of us doing our own thing and neglecting her. I don't know how she finally died or who went to the funeral but this is my final tribute to herForget Me Nots
The clock stood on the mantlepiece
where it had always chimed
But the batteries long had wilted
Stopped in between the time
Canary lay on sandpaper floor
No water or no seed
Their was an air of quiet neglect
It had missed its final feed
No newspapers in the hallway
She must have cancelled these
As her world closed in to no more din
Of tradesmen she had no need
Some ashes in the fireplace
White and cold and grey
Poker lay across the fender
left to poke another day
We'd found her resting on her arm
Sat at velvet tabled cloth
Her hankie tucked within her sleeve
A vase of "Forget Me Nots"
No letter, explanation
Of those final lonely hours
As she sat and waited for the call
Of heavenly chorused choirs
We had all been to busy
Said we'd call another day
She seemed to manage fine alone
And so we did not stay
Something about that final hour
That beholds us all to choose
To take our final farewell calls
And not to miss the cues
