Memories Poems
Die tyd raas
by Mario Odekerken
Die tyd raas verby
sonder om terug te kyk.
Minute skeur deur die lug
soos wind wat nie wag nie.
Ek probeer onthou
maar alles gly
soos water deur vingers.

21-12-24
by Rikske Kessner
internal countdown begins
like ants to freshly landed
sugar crystal
like sunflower to rising sun
peeping from cover
like expectant pyjama'd tyke
on Christmas morn
a feeling, full grown or so,
but couldn't quite shake
An Elephant never forgets
by Author Reinvented
"An Elephant never forgets", they say.
An Elephant never forgets.
From the moment they're born
Sixty to seventy years more,
And yet an Elephant never forgets.
I think about how an Elephant never forgets,
No, an Elephant never forgets.
Their mother's embrace,
Their favored drinking place,

Old OakTree and Old People
by Jim Kelly
Old Oak Tree and Old People
In the town square,
an oak spreads its arms.
A bronze plaque reads:
“This tree matters.”
Children climb it,
lovers carve it,
elders rest beneath it.
All agree: it deserves honor.

Dear known stranger
by Aditi Hayaran
To the part of a beautiful journey
Who was never the destination,
I still have a part of you
You'll never be forgotten.
If I say I don't miss you
That's surely a lie,
I wish I could stop the time
Which continues to fly.

I carry you with me
by Mario Odekerken
I carry you with me.
Through storm and rain,
through the weight of sorrow,
and the ache that never quite softens.
Still,I feel your spirit
every time I try.
Even when my hands tremble,
you are the steadiness in my spine.

In the shadow of love
by Mario Odekerken
In the shadow of love
hearts beat quieter,
as if afraid to wake
what once burned bright.
A glance holds
more silence than words,
and the air remembers
what lips forgot.
Erfenis van stilte
by Mario Odekerken
De kamer is niet leeg,
al staat er niets meer.
Stof zweeft door licht
dat niemand opmerkt.
Op de vloer liggen afdrukken
van wat ooit zwaar was,
een kast,een stoel,
een gesprek dat niet werd afgemaakt.
