Star Bound – A Tribute to Joshua Bond
Poets, they may come and go
While others are here to stay
And though some you’ll never know
The ones you meet…change your fate
Such were my travels when I was Deep Underground
The harder side of poetry was never the same
When I met a man from Portugal, Mr. Bond
With poetic skill and craft…

Stargazers in Awe
There is a nostalgia in her eyes
Like the memory of a million heartbeats echoing through time
A story untold through a near glassy glacial glance
Cold and warm all at once
Reaching out in the night
In the vast expanse there is a sigh
It’s as if there is a secret from the universe waiting to escape
You can almost imagine it as it…

Ahavati
I’ve always said she’s been a voice of reason
When times got so befuddled and rough
She’s been an artistic inspiration
A lyrical sister who knows her stuff
She’s got a passion for…ars poetica
She has been supportive and perceptive
Even when others have tried her patience
She’s been up-front, honest and…

Pretty Good
Across Multiverses
Somewhere out in the world right now
A woman is opening the door
Getting bad news as she holds her children
While somewhere in a different universe
She is welcoming her husband home
And maybe somewhere in the multiverse
He is still searching for her…
Somewhere in the world right now
A child is…

30/30 If Time Listened to Me
Rewriting Memory
if time listened to me
I’d ask it to give me more time
so that all the happy memories feel strong longer
and last longer
to the point my soul would feel sublime
if time heard my reasons
then all the melancholic days would be a blast
everything sad would then be on the upside
with great…

29/30 A Second Draft of Us
Rewriting Memory
There comes a time when we cross a certain threshold
Like reaching higher ground and seeing the road behind
It’s as if the map we held had several detours
Some were needless while trying to find peace of mind
And maybe those diversions were necessary
Sometimes guidance and advice will fall on deaf ears
But we…

28/30 The Echo Answers Differently
Rewriting Memory
Maybe the voice of reason I heard in those days
Was my own in the future traveling back in time
And maybe the memory now in the present
Are the restless trolls I once tried to keep in line
But something sounds so much clearer and different
As if the years fine-tuned the…

27/30 Nothing Breaks This One
Rewriting Memory
I’ve said it many times, over, and over again
Guilt is a needless load to carry forever
The solution comes in asking for forgiveness
Or you else can’t go on happily with new endeavors
And though it’s all in the past you never forget
Understanding that there are life lesson which never end…

26/30 We Understand Each Other In Time
Rewriting Memory
Blink…I blinked slowly and the years went by
faster than anything I could have imagined
Reminiscing about those old wistful days
envisioning the now and how it happened
In dash a lot of memories come back
like a bright flash of lightning lighting the road
Every synapse and neuron…

25/30 The Silence Filled With The Right Words
Rewriting Memory
The mutual understanding between kindred spirits
It’s like a language spoken at a higher plane
Even in silence there’s respect and admiration
When in retrospect we know we all felt the same
Amidst reverence and passionate veneration
There’s also a devotion that consumes the soul
As if…

24/30 The Memory That Let’s Me Sleep
Rewriting Memory
Some opportunities come once in a lifetime
And then some present themselves as clear as day
But if the timing or rhythm happens to be off
That opportunity will grow wings and fly away
Then there are lucky happenstances that linger
As if by good grace it comforts and consoles the heart
Even when…

23/30 The Undo Button
Rewriting Memory
Trust…I wish I hadn’t broken trust so many times
But I was egotistical and foolish too
I mixed the boundaries between wrong and right
With a skewed view of integrity and virtue
But the thing about distorted perception
Is that in a self-centered mind reality bends
There is no real sense of true north or…

22/30 The Hour That Didn’t Haunt Me
Rewriting Memory
I don’t quite recall the trinket, the memento
The ornament we had agreed to exchange
I remember the call from the night before
I recall how overnight everything felt strange
I remember the disappointment, the distress
How everything built up so quickly had changed
How in those last…

21/30 Nothing Gets Lost Here
Rewriting Memory
It was the last performance of the season
In fact, it was the last one of a short career
So every note I played and every step I took
I made sure to enjoy along with my peers
I can still hear the music like an echo
I can still see their faces along with smiles
We were a tight group filled with honor…

20/30 The Day I Didn’t Disappear
Rewriting Memory
Amidst the smoke and mirrors I now see clearer
Our paths were meant to cross, connect and intertwine
The image of what once far somehow seems nearer
In echoes and reflections of what left behind
But that was me back then as I remember when
I tried my best not to be noticed I’d even hide
And yet those…

19/30 The Words That Didn’t Break Us
Rewriting Memory
I knew it was going to be a really long day
But Cupid had already started working his shift
And though there was a team goal to achieve that day
It was a real surprise to be receiving this gift
And yet again, in my confusion I went along with it
When I was young, I’d try it if I had the chance
The…

18/30 I Remember It Happening Kindly
Rewriting Memory
“You must remember this…”
As the days fly away on the wings of old dreams
An impulsive memory returns and lingers
Those years are long gone and won’t stop for anyone
Like the sands of time slipping between our fingers
It abruptly rises from the caves of the mind
With fire and warmth reliving it once…

17/30 The Day I Said It Right
A not so rewritten Memory
Maybe it was the weight of time on my shoulders
Or the peace I’ve been trying to attain for years
But upon taking the step to close the chapter
I finally learned to deal with old doubts and fears
Maybe it’s the decades of molding and shaping
Therapies, seminars, classes or books I’ve read
Or the…
