My memories will haunt you

Those familiar footfalls that echo,
resound and reverberate,
quickening your pulse
are not mine, but they once were



My memories will haunt you...



Those endless susurrus of sweet nothings whispered,
as soft lips brush lightly
against your earlobes
are not mine, but they once were



My memories will haunt you
like a cold winter's breeze...
but I am your creation,
just a figment my dear!

a fragmented figment of your imagination



And those nimble fingers that trail
and trace your curves
and linger, so longingly linger
are not mine, but they once were



My memories will haunt you
like a cold winter's breeze
that touched you in places,
long forgotten out of existence



You reach out, arms outstretched
to touch, to hold,to surrender
But I fade away, rendered to wisps of past memories
and imaginings long forgotten



And My memories will haunt you
like a cold winter's breeze
that touched you in places, long forgotten out of existence
and surprise you with a shiver and a smile



And those caresses that tickle and make you blush,
those gentle tweaks that makes you flush
and shudder, Ah! Those wonderful guilty pleasures
memories that you still treasure
dissolve and crumble as you wake up...

and all you are left is with my memories

and my memories will haunt you
like a cold winter's breeze









p.s. I miss you too.

  2. A strange thing happened while I got the flash of inspiration for this story.

    I was chatting with an online friend that I had made recently , and I got the inspiration in the middle of our chatting session and I just dropped everything and wrote it down in my notepad.

    Later, I apologised to her and explained that while chatting with her, I got this flash of inspiration.

    So she asked me about the poem, and I showed it to her.

    She asked me 'Who was it written about?'

    So I said that this poem was because of a recurring dream that I had more than a year ago of a girl who is missing her lover.

    So she fell silent for a while...and then floodgates opened.

    Apparently this was her story!

    Her guy had suddenly left her and disappeared from her life altogether about a year ago !

    And only yesterday she tracked him down and demanded an explanation and got some closure with regard to her relationship with him.

    Coincidence?

    I don't know...

    I only know that I'm a dreamer.
