MEMORY AND DESIRE (A POEM)

With the passage of Time 
Things start to appear in defferent 
Shades and Shadows. 
Yet There remains 
Some Things and A few People 
With the same 
Echo And Essence! 

Memory is not only 
What happened to us 
It is also 
What ought to have happened. 

A man 
Forgets 
Nothing 
Ever. 

Our Desires 
Move both ways 
Mostly Towards our Past. 
And Life 
Is a Battleground 
Memory Versus Desire. 

My life shuttles between 
Memory And Desire 
One is Wounded 
Other Bruised.
