Expedition To An Unknown City

here, I am now resting besides 
the graves of my memories
and plucking black flowers 
grown to their ugly chests
and with a spade, digging the 
hole to grab all the soil
to rewrite my past, although 
knowing thats quite impossible.

i am in an unknown city, with 
my some well wishers, 
the city proves to be full of 
graves and vast skeletons
i cannot rest my legs on them as 
they are pious remains
and their souls instruct the 
whole city with their bizzare 
eyes.

i am unable to decide, why my 
fate has taken me to this city, 
have i done something wrong or 
just craved for you
and I know my discovery would 
lead me among one of them

Last night, 

I encountered a virgin soul, 
weeping on her grave, 
she was a beauty and a heartful 
lady in her best clothes
I w
had no courage to go to her, and 
asked her what the matter was, 
somewhat like she too was 
feeling what I felt at the 
beginning
I wish, she might understand 
the pain of the dark memories

And that city lies in the heap of 
the dead memories.
