Necklace Of Memories

July 25, 2023


When the tears become beads

And beads become a fancy

A fancy which once was

And persists but now it's unwanted.


When the necklace of memories melts

And it slips through the fingers like water

A blurred vision cages me

And a blurred reality blurs my vision.


When everything distorts in my mind

And I become an alien in my own memories

Another fancy takes birth and I am caressed

I am caressed for another distortion,

For other disruption


When it all happens

A wave carries me

I become heaviest

I become lightest

I become nothing

I become everything

I become prisoner in my own mind


When the tears become beads

And beads become fancy

I experience a fall,

a fall on the highest of peaks.
