Memory’s kiss
◊
Memory’s kiss would a life recall
One spent walking on an eggshell
In tales untold for mind do appall
A hidden realm for spirits to quell
◊
A truth come hither that did befall
Aligned checkerboard of wane cell
From dark night to wistful dewfall
A tale between a heaven and a hell
◊
On endless journey of a downfall
That an open mind could foretell
But with a heart, a bond does thrall
And plunge into a bottomless well
◊
Of lost innocence on comes the call
For infants within our souls do dwell
Though treasons change spring to fall
A faith in heart with love would swell
◊
A jeering mind with nerve and gall
Of lurking secrets would never tell
But pelting stones like black rainfall
Would leer and peer while they fell
◊
And as they pour my soul they spall
Though faith my heart does indwell
A wanderer in fleeting justice’s hall
My life turned hue of bluest bluebell
◊
Great hopes a dreary mind enthrall
Wondrous times their secrets spell
A light would light however small
As joys in aches a mind would sell
◊
True seeker of core I stand now tall
Though all recounts he did misspell
No wicked one could my heart stall
Hear ye not chime of parting knell?
◊
A life like footsteps under snowfall
Fades as I hear yonder deathly bell
And all that would now be left of it all
Is a stark withering note of a farewell
