Done for A Prompt Each Day, a daily dose of inspiration. Today the prompt is the quote below:
Rebirth
today my memory failed me
searching the abyss of despair
for that gloom hugging me like a second skin
today my memory failed me
as I listened to that cacophony of words,
searching for the deep resonance
that used to caress me to sleep.
I almost grasped it,
but then it slipped through my gaping fingers,
a snarl slapped me instead.
today my memory failed me,
gliding through the haze of lies based on aspects of truths,
the shaky facade of carefully coated words slipping
to reveal the bare bones of
semantics in its degraded form.
today my memory failed me,
delving deep into yester-years
to desperately seek a day
when the moon stood still
on a fast wilting bed of roses
the thorns drawing blood
from you and I
today my memory played tricks on me you know.
my memory failed me.
my memory refused to
regurgitate the left-over of a passion long gone cold
passion that now sits in my belly
waiting to pass out in a cremation of rebirth
