Bonds

Lost love
a flower withered
and yet it lives on

Memories
wisps of nostalgic cloud
floating, careworn in the air

Dreams
dry, wrinkled autumn leaves
flying into your face as you walk on

Sensations
invisible strings
trip you unawares

Purple, yellow, orange
colours of a time past
linger on in a black and white world

Wash over me, oh waves of time
in your dispassionate benevolence
blurring what has passed
and free my fettered soul
