Locked In Memories Poem by Mohini Gurav

Memories gush in without my consent
A storm of restlessness grabs
my peace of mind.
Entangling me
deeper and deeper with its strong hold
on me without being kind.

Is it so easy to escape, to run away,
to emancipate from
nostalgic memories?

Slowly silently creeping
into the silent moments of the past
and find myself in tears.
Memories brutally instigate to desire
more of those moments
but finally leaving me helpless with fears.
Knowing that desires are cause of all sufferings
Yet why do I desire to find
solace in this sweet entanglement and cravings?

On purpose never wished
to locate the door to escape
would remain locked happily
in memories forever and forever.
Memories are truly loyal
for sure will never
leave me alone anytime
in my life time.
