Aging Memories Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Aging Memories



Memories curl around the edges with age, yellowing
themselves with the passing years, incontinently
filling them with shame.

Guilt-ridden, down lanes of timeless, forbidden
images, protruding lances, cutting the edges of a
mind.

Solemnly pushing beneath the crib of innocence,
life-sustaining myths, perpetrated from fantasies,
standing always, unforgiven.

Touching life with stolen kisses, sealed tight in
dresses of shame, trimmed with guilt.

Fallen. Downcast. Hurting quietly beneath it all
inside.
