Unchained Memories

You’re like a dream,

That comes

Whenever to rest

I close my eyes.

Of bygone days,

The forgotten past,

Your memories……

Come pouring by.

It gives me immense pleasure,

Just to think of you,

And suddenly, then

The hustle breaks my spell.

The unmasked, unveiled Truth

Laughs at me…….

And I blankly stare.

I’ve nothing to say……

Nothing to hear…….

Only a body I’m now

A body…….so bare.
