A haunting melody follows
Soft, resounding footsteps
On the white, marble floor,
Seconded by the loudening drumroll
Of a tiny, fist-sized machine.
I am caged by your memory,
These invisible bars of sunlight
And walls of flaming sunset.
Even as time passes,
And each broken pieces
Of a thousand fragments
Mold into vivid visions,
Flashing from a flood of memories.
Pictures hang by figured wood frames,
Presenting smiles and joy.
They embed albums of time,
Lustrous images of torn destinies.
I trace my fingers over the silkiness,
Of the wondrous past.
Blood trickles down my finger,
As I’m pricked by the thorns.
In this cage, I struggle
I, with wakeful eyes, yearn to get free
From the chains of merciless destiny.
In this momentous time, I confess
Love revolves in a vicious cycle,
Tearful eyes cannot suffice
When dreams get broken
And wounds never mend.
An outreached hand fails to break the fall
In silence, I confide this contrition
In ripples of tears,
Of things that cannot be undone.
In this intricate puzzle
Left incomplete for eternity
I could never understand,
From the sins you’ve inflicted
Tell why I’m alive...
