My memory is like my cabinet,
unkempt and scattered.
Chaotic like my soul.
It is a lane I fear to transverse
for I do not know what I would find
and I fear regret would creep itself back in.
A monster I feed.
my desires, my despairs.
Though in memory, I lightly tread
It is a mind palace I rarely visit.
Because of all its secrets.
Doors and pathways,
corridors I’d rather avoid.
In it, somewhere inside the palace, there’s you. There is us.
A silent prayer.
A long forgotten prayer
of us ever becoming real.
But there along the corridors,
are guards I placed.
Sentinels to keep me away
from the place I used to love to visit
back then when the wound was fresh,
and hope was still clinging.
There in the messy hallways,
lie my regrets
and various disappointments.
How I chose to not greet you
because you failed to greet me too,
but you never seemed to notice.
There lay epic failures.
Adorning the stairs are poems
unwritten and undiscovered
even by me.
Hung up on the walls
are framed successes
I pay no attention to.
My memory is like my cabinet,
disorganized and yet,
I know every nook and cranny.
It is my haunted palace
and yet I treasure it like gold.
Because somewhere in that lane,
the creepy hollow grounds,
inside my unkempt palace,
there’s you.
There’s us.
i don’t have much criticism for poetry, ;/ not my best side. I’ll keep reading yours to see what sprouts from my imagination though. This one I admired, the mind is for the most part unoccupied, but when their are special memories in store the empty space feels full! Love it.

That’s perfectly fine. Just to be read and understood, is enough for me. Thank you. I hope some of my weird writings and experiences in life do inspire you. And yes, I agree! Empty spaces full of memories. Glad you love it. 🙂
