Mike Turner

Nostalgia


Pictures

Soft and indistinct

Knife-sharp edges sanded smooth

Remembrances

Long past, yet linked

Whispers voiced in other rooms

Memories

Different, yet same

Subtly altered so’s to fool

Nostalgia

Flickering candle’s flame

Pretty

But just a costume jewel



This poem originally appeared in my poetry collection, Visitons and Memories, published in 2021 by Sweetycat Press. I have retained all rights.




Silent Echo


Night

I lie awake

Listening to the silent echo

Of your absent

Heart




The Patient Heart Waits (Haiku Suite)


Icy winter winds

Barren as hollowed-out hearts

Blow across our souls


Such is mystery:

Love cannot be seen or held

Yet may break our hearts


The patient heart waits

As a dormant Winter’s seed:

Blossoming in Spring
