Memories On The Edge

Cuddling the couch of nostalgia

My words decided to voyage today...

Down the memory lane, across that lonely road,

With Sullen eyes, bleeding feet and surrendering dreams,

First met distorted youth;

Caught in mazes of challenging zephyrs and 

Hasty smokes of cigarettes,

All I could see was helplessness,

A shrill cry for help;

Once I could see a star-studded night 

reflected in your eyes

But now, it's just 

A weeping heart with brittle fate 

Sinking in the ocean of nothingness;

Jettisoning the baggage past

Along came teenage,

With Dimpled simple, braided hair and pink lipstick,

Fluttering like a butterfly across the sun-kissed banks of love

There hope, there's a promise, above all there is 

A rendezvous to touch the sky;

A little further my words rested

Into the tip of a wispy finger, curly head, brilliant eyes

Trailing the sky, weaving a future

Heralding an era of flamboyant effervescence;

"Mesmerizing future in a child's eye often ends in a shadowy silhouette of youth"
