Memory Meltings

Once upon a crystal tear
falling steadily through the year
for it has nothing to stop its toiled course

sadness strung
and alone among
a sea of nothing, but  remorse

“forget the tears” said a voice slightly muttering
coughing memory meltings with each sinful sputtering
winding up thoughts, larger and cluttering
cluttering long forgotten tales

piles of thoughts, through emptiness wait, all of which have been derailed, cluttering long forgotten tales

already lost my words that were spoken
in a coffin cold an oaken, casting white shadows on the wall
always guarded with the literate, now broken down and inconsiderate
always thoughtless inconsiderate, inconsiderate stealing thoughts provoked
