Photographic Memories Casts Soul Frozen Shadows Poem by Terence George Craddock

an endearing loss
still stabs numb mind
slices still beating heart

separation broken relationships
love bonds sudden sliced cut severed
entwined life strands torn ripped

emotions dangle raw nerve ends
root channel filling decay screaming
a severed limb pain ghost haunts

eyes cannot sleep in pain bursts
eyes cannot rest in brain fierce flames
eyes burn sting as heart drains

blood freeze beating heart
thoughtless numb mind
an endearing loss

shared couch no longer a whole afternoon crunches
seating empty memories eating a ton of sunflower seeds
nostalgia is tsunami wave devastating green securities

ten years in shadow time living hell fire memories
flame years afraid to forget a sharp knife stabbing heart
nostalgia blind spreading fake fantasy dust dreams

bright eyes faded dull in bitter smile no future holds
old songs in needle ruts repeat repeat no happy endings
mind canyon needle ruts escapes no severe depressions
