Kaleidoscope of memories untold

 


I look for silence 

in the echos of melancholy 

Broken glasses of memories 

Wrapped in a kaleidoscope 

A tunnel with no escape.


The shattered pieces

Meaningless in their lone existence 

Form shadows that mesmerize

Castles of dreams

And hell's abyss

Both side by side. 


Yet none is true

Shapes that have no existence 

And colours that fade and shrivel 

To form new demons each time

And gods to slay them...


I slip down the tunnel

Watch my own reflection 

Contort and distort

Dying and being reborn

At the same time.


The gods that came to slay the demons

Have formed an organised religion 

And demons have been let lose

All in a tunnel with no exit or existence 

The kaleidoscope, of memories untold.
