Notes About The Poem

Those sleepless nights that periodically return with haunting memories, not revealed, kept hidden away.

Hidden Memories

HIDDEN MEMORIES

                     Countless nights I lay awake,
                     Dreams won't come in the blanket of darkness,
                     Exiled from peaceful sleep.
                     Framed memories, agonizing details, untraceable in daylight,
                     Spiral into the abyss, dark and deep.
