MEMORIES

 MEMORIES

I

Taking back my sight to the tides of the past,

Piercing my thoughts on the fogs of today,

Lies a day i remember not the surname of pain,

For my thought longs so deep in forever,

An ever which may never be remembered.

II

Here's a time long gone,

When i can identify the ancestors of pain,

When the siblings of loneliness is the only gain,

Where my heart feels like January leaving my hopes high,



As i sigh in December with the brightness of the dark tides.

III

Here's what i was with the past memories,

Cheers to what i am with the beauty of today's accessories,

Toast to the pains of the embers,

A pose to the pleasures of the 'nuarys',

IV

Past and present will move on like the flow of a river,

Leaving no fruits of the past or the seeds of tomorrow,

But there will always be memories of brighter days,

And a toast as recipe to painful memories.

II Voices gather, calling me fortunate, They say to exist is a blessing. Yet I thread my thoughts like a silent song, Winding through the viper’s gut— A gift adrift, unseen, unsung. III Life dances wild in reckless grace, A rise, a fall, a dizzying pace. And in the end, Even the fiercest hearts may break— For Survival spares not even the strongest. . - Fearless Lines ©2024

TIME-LINE

I Have you ever felt like a paper bag? Drifting through the claws of the wind, Like a tattered kite, Moving from its end to its beginning. II Have you ever felt like a strand line on a paper sheet? Whose purpose is to separate the margins. Have you ever felt like a house built with of sand, And with a breeze all becomes sand beneath the feet of men. III Have you ever felt like a living being with no purpose? Or like a dead with no hope? Six feet under with screams and wails, And no one seems to hear a thing. IV Have you ever felt like a living-dead, or a zombie? Having no clues but to destroy. Have you ever felt like a human with the precision of a machine? Like a robot! All for the satisfaction and purpose of another man. V You don't have to feel like an old wine in a new bottle, Like all doors are closed, knowing not one leads to the perfect road. Your very nature is bliss, like a lightening bolt your heart will glow. VI After a hurricane comes a rainbow, When your time is set yo...
