tonight i am haunted
by the sharp stab of a half-forgotten memory
remnants of days long gone
when innnocence could be grasped
in hopeful mortal fingers
and fiery passion burned
within staunch yet questioning hearts.
my heart fills with melancholy.
in the shadowed crannies of my weakened mind
i can still hear the lost echoes
of strangled cries
lamenting a world ruled by oblivion.
i mourn my vanished days of youth
when thoughts flourished and words flowed
from minds aflame with lust…
lust for knowledge.
for truth.
for love.
for life.
