Face it,
you have to
whitewash it
the words are gone
but the page is there
tear away the page
still they linger in the thoughts
Meditate, focussing on newer plots
yet, they surface when you sleep
appearing from the ashes of dreams
figuring out what we have buried past
some sorrow peeping from the burrow
which we have covered
deep inside the soil
to avoid confusing turmoils
manuscripts decay
diminish in the sway
but metallic inscriptions
seldom do retreat
more they are washed
treated with acid unabashed
they reappear with memories greener
and reminders sounding louder
you have to face it
it's only a second
or hour or a day or more
when your truths dance
upon the stages in trance
wildly protruding
unveiled..............................

A Great Poem with words..still lingering in thoughts...new plots appearing in dreams...because of the past traumas...reminding...the truths... wildly protruding unveiled and all that....It's true our past is too much with us, taking away the chunk of our attention which the present deserves. They say...just learn from the past, don't make a mistake twice, and move on forgetting and forgiving to caress the present which needs to be loved like our baby. You are really a prolific poet and desrve my 10+.Thanks
