Memories

The memories of time spent together.
will always warm my heart
How I miss those days
where we would spend hours doing nothing

But those are gone
The echoes of laughter linger still,
In moments that time cannot fulfill.
Chasing shadows beneath the stars,
Dreaming of futures, unmarked by scars.

Though seasons have changed and paths diverged,
In the tapestry of life, our memories surged.
I carry your smile, a beacon of light,
Guiding me gently through the darkest of nights.

So here’s to the days, both joyful and sweet,
To the warmth of your presence, each moment a treat.
Though distance may grow and life pull us apart,
You’ll always be cherished, forever in my heart.

Drawers of the Soul

In the stillness of the night, dreams draw near,
Whispers of the heart, only the soul can hear.

In the drawer of the mind, memories unfold,
Stories of the past, both cherished and told.

Sketches of the past, intricately drawn,
Bright colors of laughter, shadows of the dawn.

In the heart’s hidden drawer, emotions spawn,
A tapestry woven from dusk until dawn.

Echoes of Memories

Each night, the memory of you haunts me
In dreams where love once danced so free
Yet dawn arrives and pulls you from my sight,
Leaving shadows of our love in fading light.

But I hold on to whispers of your name,
A flicker of hope amid the lingering flame.
With every heartbeat, I feel you near,
In the silence, your laughter echoes clear.

Flood Of Memories

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Renku, Anthony mylovexpressionsblog.wordpress.com

Voices of the past
Rippling through the canyon walls
Memories return
Nothing can damn their current
Flooding out in a torrent…

The Weight of Memory


Beneath the weight of memory’s chain,
Lies the heart, burdened with silent strain.
Moments once bright now cloaked in gray,
Chasing the light, yet lost in the fray.

Freezing time’s embrace
Seizing moments in the mind
Preserving memories
Revisiting moments, gone
Rebuilding all the lost ones…

Childhood Meal

Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?

The meal that always brings me back to my childhood whenever I eat it is carne asada, Mexican rice, and beans. I remember the family get-togethers in my grandparent’s backyard, the savory aroma of the carne asada sizzling on the grill, and the laughter of my cousins echoing through the air. The vibrant colors of the Mexican rice and the heartiness of the beans always made the meal feel like a fiesta. Those were the times when we would sit around the table, sharing stories and creating cherished memories.
