Immersing myself in memories
The thick blue funk
Of distant laughs
And fading tastes
The picture takes me back
To stories long forgotten
Roads long abandoned
Delving down into the depths
Of feelings long suppressed
Tears long dried
Heartache long healed
Knocking on tentative doors
And looking in temporary mirrors
Images tap-dance
Across my fertile imagination
A smile swims across a grey river
A frown skips across a lush garden
A dense cloud of remembered emotions
Hangs over my head
Tumbling over me
Rolling around my mind
Hatred, Lust, Despair, Pain
Each one a little jolt to my heart
Each one a reminder
That I am no longer there
