“One of my favorite pictures off the internet.”

Who art thou that invades my nightly dreams?

You are a stranger to me.

Yet what you bring to me

is a yearning that beseeches me.

 

I long for yet fear your return.

My youthful soul remembering

another time from long ago

will not let my present go.

 

Caress me with kisses

that my lips cry and hunger for.

Is it wrong to hunger for signs of love?

They are not in abundance

in my current world. 

 

The mirror before me this morning

is a face unrecognizable to me.

Oh Youth Divine!

Where has Thou gone?

I await  your return.

“About Wisdom” copyright 2013 John J. Rigo, upcoming poetry book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

Boop behind bars! (Photo credit: Avedon Sideshow)

Facebook logo (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

As a super senior surveying my landscape

I observed the educated ones feel that

a sheepskin replaces Wisdom

as a quality not to be coveted.

 

The young people who are in my life

feel the world owes them a pain-free life.

Respect for others

Ethics

hard work

are qualities

rarely found

these days. 

 

Obesity is a sign of this disease of the mind.

Reality is lived out in the Boop tube

iphone, the ipad and Facebook.

 

Dreams are wonderful

according to these young people

as long as they do not involve

blood, sweat and tears.

 

I thank my Lord this day.

I thank him for the life

He has given me.

I especially thank Him

for the Wisdom

He has rendered me.

“Remembering The Moment” copyright 2010 John J. Rigo, upcoming book “Passion Amidst Apathy”

Posted in A Poem of Memory by McKinney Poet John J. Rigo, upcoming book "Passion Amidst Apathy", tagged Forgiveness, God, Health, Lord, Love, memories, Never to return, Shopping, tears, United States, Youth on March 20, 2013| Leave a Comment »

I am glad I am here to remember this moment.

There were dreams that I did not want to awake from.

There were days with those that I knew truly loved me.

 

They were days I did not want to end.

At times in the remembering there are tears.

The tears are not from sadness

but for the happiness of the moment.

 

Will those dreams ever come again to me?

I think not for the flowers of youth bloom but once in our memories.

Precious memories that we hold on tightly close to our hearts.

Thank you for this day in my gift of rememberance.
