Your Fear An Asylum (+3)

 Your Fear An Asylum

 

Your head turned away

 but you needed to hear

 

Your memory in flames

 and the truth very near

 

Your ears became deaf

 as new words tried to form

 

Your fear an asylum

  —where the past is reborn

Now Denied

 

Last night I received an invitation

to my own death….

Signed by my former self

witnessed by a past unspoken

Sealed with a memory

I had yet to live

And stamped by a future

—now denied

 Memory The Master

 

Truth is a title,

 reason is a slave

 

Love is a mistress

 forgiveness, bed unmade

 

The past for excuses

 the future willed in vain

 

Memory still the master

 —of what goes round again

The Moment Gone

 

Secrets keep us sick

 as emotions run and hide

 

Perception dark and thick

 the truth turned into lies

 

Secrets keep us sick

 with denial center stage

 

Time bartered, the moment gone

 —nothing left but rage
