The Intoxicating Memories

Memories are so powerful and strong that it can intoxicate a life and leave it to the hell of dark and turn it insane. Memories are dangerous! Beware!!

It gulps me, swallows too,

Inside the hollow of carbon and rising fumes,

It leaves the hallowing memories in its dust;

The incision of my memories,

Reminiscing journey to the world of mourning pains,

The nights of sobs flicker on my pillow,

With the remains of its lust and lure.

The larking dark parked at the vent of my gasping breath,

With the drooling greed through the gullet,

It lingers around and surrounds everywhere,

On my chest, inside my breasts manifests,

My brain is cobbled and shoved,

Of its facts and stores,

It’s left numb and blank forever.

I don’t sense wink or a blink,

I shrink.

I know not the time, the pace, and the reign

The minnow decked up attires of wit,

Humble to mumble and grumble on my deeds,

I fight with my memories.

I combat them, at every wink of my breathe

I redeem solace.

The terrific torture of the torment,

Leaves me sordidly intoxicated...

With my lifeless life, staying a-live

Amidst the rainbow world,

It kills me, poisoning me sweetly like ever,

It holds my throat and floats me forever,

In the rivers of memory ruminating,

Sinks me deep, keeping me a-live,

Through my breathless numb and nameless life.

My heart does beat to keep me a-live.

It sucks my life to keep me a-live.

Beautiful poem! Great topic to write about. My favourite line was:-
In the rivers of memory ruminating,
Sinks me deep, keeping me a-live,
Through my breathless numb and nameless life.
These lines are so true..our life is made by our memories..reminds me of the River Styx.
On a whole it was wonderful and deep. Great work!

This is a wonderful right, great imagery and yet powerful emotions. I like the way you express those feelings in word, our memory is vast and so is your poem and it surely shows you are incredibly gifted in crafting a piece as is naturally suited. Thanks for sharing this excellent piece.

Everything.... Everything was excellent.....
Your way with words is extra ordinary.....
This was the best poem i have read this February and that is for sure....
Sinks me deep. keeping me a-live.... All the lines were perfectly aligned and augmented the flow..... "The larking dark parked at the vent of my gasping breath,
With the drooling greed through the gullet," this way my favorite line...
The emotions and feelings your poem exhibits is flawless... The imagery is out of the ordinary.... What else do we need.... I know..... Increase the size of the words..... They were too small.... Had to use my spectacles... LOL!
This one deserves to be widely read.....
