Thy Memories Consume

Haunting forever are the visages of the past
Shadows of a time long ago do always stalk
Your crumbling mind without remorse
Sins and horrors sometimes come back
To consume you from within

You gasp for air in the midst of the night
As a crippling nightmare chokes you
With the ghosts of your eternal sins
Your daemon’s do exist tonight
Within your corroded mind

Seemingly you struggle for life’s refuge
Yet you deny your own saddened past
Blackened are your memories inside
As they tear into your maddened soul
Slowly as thy memories consume…



Darkness upholds Light as much as Holiness downs the Evil within...

Hey everyone I haven't posted a poem in a long time... I was very ill (mentally) Hope I get some responses again...
Oh and for once I can write without a broken heart... Hope to hear from you!

Welcome back!  
A great piece you got there...
I for once do enjoy nostalgy and memories of the past, but maybe it's coz now I see everything in this rose light...
Take care!

Memories do consume, but somehow we have to make new memories that will overtake the bad ones. Very good poem and welcome back.

Dear Broken (And Since Repaired) Heart
You are well enough to have written this haunting poem - so you are well now to face the world - and draw strength from memories - not sorrow any longer. Hope to see you write a Ballad of Hope very soon
Deepak
