Shadow Of A Memory Poem by Dale Mullock

As darkness crept across the floor,
Slithering up the helix stairwell,
Merging with the darkness cast by my door,
Memory rippled athwart mind groundswell,
For liquid shadows create vivid picture,
Of morello cherry coloured eyes,
Flecked green with envy’s tincture,
Blinking eerily at hinge creaking cries,
Overactive mind left on ponder soak,
Somewhere within the heart of me,
Wrapped in thought billowed sable cloak,
There is still some small part of me,
That yearns for that old forgotten feeling,
Of warm, sweet sunlight oh so revealing.
