Memories

A glimpsed forlorn outline
of an intangible phantom
of time filtered memories
punching a reluctant cortex
into remembering mode.
Second hand feelings
dredging up negative
black and white visuals.
Umbrella occasions
time driven
into nebulous synapses
of chemical messages
connecting with nostalgia.
Explosive nerve endings of doubt,
heaven sent and hell bent
to torture a treasured moment
and tease it into the present.
