I’m at school, it’s my first time at school. It’s someone’s birthday. They’re having a party, I’ve been invited. I’m enjoying the party and the other children. I’m having fun eating cake, drinking cola, playing games. I’ll never know them or see them again.

Remembering Mitzy

Our cat Mitzy is outside, sat on the doorstep minding her own business, doing nothing to anyone. Then she is dead, shot with an air rifle by the young lad across the street. He never said why he shot her and never said sorry. This is my first experience of death and how brutal and evil some people can be.
Memories part two

My next memories are hazy, hazier than the first memory. I’m in a house, a big house, big to me, surrounded by furniture and people and animals. My mum, dad, sister, George the mynah bird, a cat, our dog Tina. My memory is blurred as if I’m opening my eyes after a good nights sleep. There is colour emerging from the grey, people are talking, there is life forming here, mine, my parents, my sisters, the animals around us, creating life, creating memories.

water flows down
the neck of the moors
a silken scarf
of life giving blood
a life captured
in one perfect
moment as light
meets dark reflecting
back a portrait
of a person
been and gone
a star burning
brightly, intensely, before
fading, extinguishing itself
through a life
over indulged, lived
half hearted, such
promise never fulfilled
a life to be
half remembered
half forgotten
looking at the future in the past

looking over the valley
to the big school
far away on the hill
where dreams will come true
i will be so big, so mature
i will know everything
and be anything i want to be…
i wish i could dust
off the years of adulthood
lose my life experience
forget all the joy and pain
forgive so many
say sorry to many more
empty my mind of knowledge
and enjoy that one
moment of childhood innocence
forever
stained memories
Posted: June 29, 2016 in Andy Smith, andyqby19, poem, Poems, poetry, UncategorizedTags: Belief, Believe, experience, journey, life, lives, memories, poem, poetry, reality, remembering, stains
a mind stained
by memories of the past
of families, friendships, relationships
arguments, breakups, reconciliations
friends here and now, been and gone
some here forever
others never seen again
lovers we have had
some so close you become one
others remain untouched
except in your mind
places you have been
sunsets and sunrises seen
through all four seasons
before merging into one
hills you climbed forever, never ending
bottomless valleys you never reached
books you have read
a million different words in your head
and you only remember one
films seen through aging eyes
of places and people
you will never know but you think you do
waking up in the morning listening to birds
staring at the ceiling all night
waiting for sleep to take over
landscapes been and gone
homes and factories built and demolished
to make way for a new future
running over moors in the dark
getting drunk in the park
the stain of memories
that last forever
until you become
a stain in the earth
and slowly, quietly
begin to fade away…
Goodbye

I said goodbye to this tall, slender, memory
From my past that had from nowhere
Come back into my life, rekindling teenage desires
Unexpected but welcome, a distraction from daily life
And now this vessel of pure white skin, topped with
Fair, blonde hair, cascading down towards mother earth
Covering pure, delicate bone. So light yet so strong
Stood before me, so close, I could smell her lipstick
On my tongue as we stood burning each others image
Into the deepness of our memories, ready to be
Recalled when we awoke in the early hours of a
Summers morning, the sun peering over the horizon
Getting ready to wake up unsuspecting men and women.
Her fingers left mine, hanging nowhere, just there
As we said goodbye forever, knowing this would be the
Last time we saw each other, touched each other, tasted each other…
I turned and touched a single, lonely bead of sweat
Resting on the pillow before it melted into soft fabric
Gone forever, never coming back
The smell of lavender hanging in the air
Reminding me of the night before…
I gather the bead of sweat, so soft, so light, so clear
On the tip of my forefinger, look at it taking in
The colours of the world bouncing away in all directions
Before I place it gently on the tip of my tongue
And take a last taste of you, my last memory of you
As I say goodbye to you, forever
