Plagued by the memories of insoluble illusions
that hang on the tapestry of yesterday
where mythological masks were worn
in another time, another place
and are relived in pictures
hanging on my mind's wall of sadness and loss
when dreams of moonlight madness
remind of love's longing
the remembrance of faces and places
stay in tortured realms, trapped in my soul
heartfelt reminders of crumbling bouquets
that turned yellow in their slow decay
of unrecognized existence, dissolving away from reality
that nothing lasts but memories
that come in the stillness like a rush of wind
before a storm brings a darker shade
of thoughts that echo through time
leading me to pause and remember
the emotional upheaval of lament
