Memories not preserved
Skeletons without tendons.

And when time is reversed.
From the beginning,
We can tell the ending.

For there's nothing
To look forward to
In the future
Of a past that was never there.

Memories not preserved
Bones without flesh.

Memories not formed.
Can never be rehearsed.
It is never old,it is never fresh.

Read the rest of the poem Show less

For it was never made
It never met time.

So we stare at nothing
Looking past forgotten oblivions
Looking right
Into empty frames.

"Hi Royyce. Love the line '...and the tea of laziness is never sipped'...fitted in well with the idea of frustration 'brewing'. Title is clever. Short but sweet. Namaste. Ells"

"Home" by @lonlyhrtsclub13
"I think it's a good read. What really captured my attention was this line: "Unconditional trust destroyed by betrayal" It really brings out the fact the home (in your poem) which is supposed to a citadel of trust,if I m…"
