Memories make a liar of me,
their shadowed existence
never saw the sun
of your smile,
never tasted tomorrow
on your tongue.
Locked in a castle of dreams,
guarded by reality,
we never had a chance
to run away,
to find freedom in each other.
Fight the dragon, rescue me,
stake the heart of memories.

Memories...in fact they are good old friends...but we fear them, dislike, when they talk reminding our bad mistakes...good write, Viola...thought provoking...10
Excellent work Viola! For a woman who says she does a lot of talking, you certainly know how to encapsulate a small number of words to create a poem with vivid and strong imagery...'never tasted tomorrow on your tongue', 'fight the dragon'. I say 'hail Viola's poem' and all youpoets give it a massive 10! Karin Anderson
There is something almost mythological about this piece. (Might be the dragon) Again, you have brought your unique power of writing to the fore. Nobody writes dark romantic verse like you, Vi. Brilliant... as always.
