Remembering Poems
The Spaces In Between
by Schafer Bailey
“Good things come and go”
A pretty anarchist said to him
her white knuckles brushing
stringy brunette hair from her forehead
“But they always come”
She let out a sigh he could feel in his bones
and it reverberated to his core
She told me of the magic she found in this world
of spells we cast upon ourselves

Ink Depleted, Love Remains
by Aditi Hayaran
The colour I always picked was you,
Making everything gorgeous—
that's your hue
That was consuming fast.
In my book, you,
the colour which dominates the vast.
Never knew,
the ink was getting low and low,
The marker was getting faint and slow.

The Shirt
by Jacob Weaver
He left his shirt
Probably on the floor
A foot from the laundry basket
Like men do
Just a t-shirt, or polo
Crumpled carelessly
To remember
And wash later
But later, never came
That night, a routine errand

scrolling reminiscence
by Rikske Kessner
a journey begins as
a spark in the mind
one that found its form
in a box of coloured slides
whose wood tangs humid air
and sepia photographs fading
in yellowed cellophane film
pages now replaced by screens

Uncle ian
by James Whatever
I remember running up and down nanny’s playing hide and seek .
Now I’m wishing you was here so we could all give you a kiss on the cheek .
I remember you and Jason shouting about your rival teams
Now I’m hoping I get to talk to you in my dreams .
But what I remember most about you Ian is your smile . The way it filled a room with brightness and how you made all of us kids laugh almost everyday I love you for this I thank you and I will miss you so much xxxxx
Through memories we remember
by Mario Odekerken
Not through time,
but through fragments,
a glance,
a laugh,
the way light fell on a quiet afternoon.
We remember not to hold on,
but to feel again
what once made us real.

Jodenkerkhof in Eijsden 02
by Mario Odekerken
Tussen gras en stilte
staan stenen die de tijd hebben gedragen.
Hun letters,half uitgewist,
fluisteren namen die ooit klonken
in huizen,op straten,
in stemmen die hier niet meer wonen.
De Maas stroomt niet ver van hier,
maar dit is een plek
waar de rivier zwijgt.

Dreamer (A Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne)
by Mario Odekerken
Eyes half-closed,you saw more
than the waking ever dared.
Smoke curled around your shadow
while the world called you mad.
But you were only dreaming-
of peace,of quiet skies,
of a place where the noise would fade
and the soul could breathe.
You stood where angels feared to linger,

Unforgettable
by Mario Odekerken
Your name
lives in the quiet,
like breath held
before a storm.
Even now,
the air remembers.
Soul Memory
by Ghairo Daniels
SOUL MEMORY
Aligning core below to above
Sirius clapped in glee
urging group into Time out of Space
Pyramid, triangle of my refuge
and direction
Mercury watched soul circling Squinx
Dogons ancient guiding mission
