Forgotten, but not lost

Hubby had a problem with his computer yesterday and did some housekeeping.
I thought I ought to do the same so asked for his help in defragging my machine (everywhere was red apparently) and then set to in sorting out my files, downloads etc to see what I could delete or archive elsewhere.

I came across a couple of poems I’d put on the back burner and forgotten.
The first is an abecedarian poem and the second just as it came to me.

This picture was taken on Christmas Day 2018.

Another day:
Beautiful and
Calming
Dawns.
Expectations now
Forever
Ghostly,
Haunting
Images
Jostling inside:
Knowing
Loneliness, yet
Mellow in the sun
No-one to explain
Open waters
Pulsating as the tide:
Questioning why,
Reasons illogical and cruel.
Shimmering tears
Unchecked fall in
Violent torrents,
Waning and finally
Xpelled,
Yielding to
Zenith and peace.

This was the second and the image is from google

A downward spiral
Into darkness.
Feet stumble,
Eyes cloud,
Heart plummets.
Effort is futile,
Energy lost,
Mind elsewhere.
Day to day living blurs,
Remote control,
No thought,
Enthusiasm dies.
Solitude preferred.
Time immaterial
Passes unnoticed.
Alone, but not lonely
Voices echo
Singing lullabies
From years long past.
Tears fall,
No reason,
Cleansing comfort
Relieving pressure,
The Dam of living
Release and flow,
Mingling onward
Another time and place.

About pensitivity101

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! We have recently lost our beloved dog Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney, and now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of my GSD so had hers done too. From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives. We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.
