My memory by Sanku
Artwork by cleo85 at FanArtReview.com

The recollections are there
in the deepest caverns of my mind
safely locked up

I fooled myself they were mine to dig out
at my own sweet will
but they elude me when I want them
refusing to emerge
however much I try

how fickle and false is Memory
unwanted uninvited
taunting with gleeful obstinacy
she parades to a painful beat
the images i just want
to forget.

I struggle within its clutches..

Author Notes
I wrote this because yesterday I, for no reason, remembered something that I would rather forget. Ironical that with ageing we struggle to remember.
Thank you cleo 85 for this artwork.
