Louis Solomon Poet Free verse

Memories

Am I the book keeper of my vast mind?
A library holding all my dearest dreams,
Hopes, desires...my sweetest memories
I hold so tender, my beloved shrine.

They run through my mind, a second's pace
Through the endless corridors of a maze.
Books fly everywhere. Pages turning,
Corners folding, pieces tearing - shelves raised.

My precious library, my beloved shrine -
Burning into cinders till only
Ashes remain. I stand there alone with
The mind fractured, broken...cracked.

Am I the book keeper of my vast mind? 
The books are illegible, the shelves toppled,
The corridors emptied, no more sweet
Memories left to keep.
