Lost In Lonely Memories
f a d e d, like lost rainbow kaleidoscopic kites,
whispered in hushes too soft to resound-
silently I await for these thoughts to ease,
yet in the quiet of my soul I find no
comfortable alleviation
j a d e d, I fear the worst is coming to be,
like hereditary diseases bringing forth
poor bloodline generational hiccups-
a fever with chills runs down my spine
and I am linked to my marrow by regret
e l a t e d I am no more and nothing can
soften this blow of sorrow-
I stacked sandbags against the reverie
of my woe and the damn just shattered;
(like my mirror last night)
c o m p l i c a t e d, I am used by the wind,
she tarries me to distant lands and I
can no longer breathe on my own-
as eventide ascends I am a withering ghost,
stuck in the abyss I fought so hard to forget
s a t u r a t e d in ebony illusions my death
is near, I know not why I am alone, nor why
I can't see what I was taught-
I close my eyes and in the stillness of my
thoughts, I am perpetually misunderstood
c o n t e m p l a t e d on what we were
and
I am forever LOST in LONELY MEMORIES
