Minatory

minatory
are these thoughts
as they emerge
from the confines
of my riddled mind

memories affront me
in the wake of past
where you reside
buried not where you lie
beneath the sable stone

you still traipse
within night's shadows
taunting me
until i break
before the dawn
yet i rise the same

only the scars of time
remain intact

"Only the scars of time remain intact" while everything else changes. Dynamic, impactful conclusion Sandra. Love your use of creative words - "traipse," "sable stone," "riddled mind." This has always been a hallmark of your creative poems. Congratulations!
