Forgotten Days….0211**

Rating: 2.7


In far off old forgotten days.
On the trail of ponderous ways.
Took to bed and flew away.
A journey vivid to this day.
Through the heavens from a den.
million waves, deserts, glen.
No ties to want a flapping wing.
Nothing to hold; no bond or string.
Muted charm of a rustic square.
removed from the din of urban flair.
Asleep in bed and yet on hover.
Flew the gamut without a clover.
In island home a fairy stepped.
Fate had shown and promise kept.
She too sat on outcrops watched,
for recompense, that fate had botched.
Lingering dusks and early dawns.
Brought wandering gulls and crashed anon.
Hedged her bets on a distant clown.
Wandering clue less, way off town.
Ages lost in pent up tears.
Wishing to while away her fears.

lingering dusk and early dawn', that old world charm which we left behind to follow a mirage, the memories linger and the heart longs for those bygone days. your poem is really charming, as always leaves an imprint on the mind. it has such a smooth rhythmic flow that I read it several times. Mamta

Those feelings around the rustic plaza Figure a lot about a clueless wander at Gaza Narrow stripe may be the barrier to reach your Eliza. Communication are not just made with words There are many ways to break the barriers Interpretations mean a lot, play spoil sports Decide the worth to relive with forgotten days. Solid feelings and words.... felt through those forgotten lane. Good read.
