The Crumbling Empire of Memories

The Crumbling Empire of Memories

A Poem by Annie
"

Yet another work on nostalgia.

"

Sleeping in nostalgia...


Mirages of dust

Crumbles into my eyes

Brings cracked illusions of the past

  Like the aged frescos of Michelangelo

  Once heavenly, ethereal, and brilliant


Now painful, crumbling echoes

Doomed to disintegrate

And be sifted

Into the ashy mirages of dreams.


Ash stirred and whisked by the shifting presence

Of one looking into the past.
