Mnemosyne
I close my eyes
and the pictures fall in my mind's eye
like snowflakes
or leaves
they flutter down, flashing before me
until one in particular captures my eye
the one of you
and you are as usual mugging for the camera
the camera zooms in
and suddenly I am there
and you are alive
your brother teasing you
your sister giggling
and your mother yelling for help
the usual chaos
I can almost smell the smells
hear the sounds
feel your arms around me
as you whisper in my ear,
"Cara mia, I love you."
Perfectly preserved,
perfectly recalled.
Memory is the cruelest photograph album.

Neonuroticover 12 years agoI like your poem quite a lot. The metaphor and symbolism really fit nicely. Although, I think it needs a bit of cleaning up to make it shine. PM me in the forums if you'd like an example of how I might edit it.
