Hi Everyone ... new here ... so glad I could find a place to share my writing. Any comments are gratefully received ... Hope you enjoy :-)


Dangerous Memories

A sequence of emotions
Cascading through my soul
A terrifying picture
In my mind begins to grow

These endless memories
Still haunt me
This painful reminiscing
Is draining all my energy

A chain of broken promises
Sends my life into disarray
So many different voices
What are they trying to say?

I�m bound by my affliction
Contained within this torturing
Blindly searching for a direction
That will finally set me free

A motionless hour glass
Where these pains are all enclosed
An era, I thought was in the past
But yet it seems so close

Bewilderment creeps upon me
Stagnating my next step
I didn�t notice this danger
When, like a thunderstorm it crept

These dangerous memories
Tactfully poised for jeopardy
Your bow with a venomous arrow
Is aiming straight at me

One strike and I�m sent right back
To where it all began ..
Will I ever find the strength
To finally overcome?

These dangerous memories
Came to disturb my inner peace
Encircling in my mind, like a lion in it�s den
It�s my soul you wish to devour
But I refuse, to again, give in

Dangerous memories
I thought I left you in the past
Thought this gradual healing process
Had taken me away from you at last
So why are you returning
To torture me again?
Inside I feel you burning
The serenity I have gained

Dangerous memories
I beg you for your mercy
Take pity on this tiresome soul
Please don't haunt me for eternity

Hey, I just found this site and read your poem. It's really good, have you thought of getting it published? If not, go to poetry.com and enter it. It's a contest for poets where you win money for your poems. I've had 3 poems published in there. Just thought you should try

I can relate to dangerous memories. Sometimes it seems there is simply no relief. You have a powerful way with words.


Have a blessed day-
