Memory Tombstone Dark, black blindness So I may view nothing Of the rose on the sill Episodic shots of streetlight Make features of a face Senses dampened madness In mirages of blackness Eclipsed on greyed matter Collected in crazed shadows Thoughts are my secrets Tears are mine alone Church bells in distant song Call to my memory tombstone In eviled devilled undertones That whisper as I sleep Which tombstone turns? In the peril of my hearts call To speak to haunt To mock my weakness Tomorrow I fear The haunting of my Memory tombstone
Rita Pal's questions:
I tried to obtain a dark effect for this poem. Its about the
haunting of a person by past memories much like apparitions after death. Is
this conveyed to the reader?
