Haunted Memories

What are the forces that plague his
mind - taking reality away -
What are the forces that steal his
dreams of a haunted yesterday.

If I could put my arm's around him -
Hold him close to me.
Would the images from his past go
away and just let him be?

Would they vanish if I kissed him -
and enveloped him with love-
Would the nightmares go away if I
prayed to God above?

The war's from the past come to haunt
him in the dead of night-
They lead him into battle - where
he learned to fight.

His screams echo through the darkness -
He's back in time again..
To a world only he knows of - to a
sorrow that just won't end.

If Love could bring him back to me -
If I only knew the words to say -
To bring him back from the dark, cold
shadows into the light of day!!!

His screams echo through the darkness-
He's back in time again-
To a world only he knows of- to a
sorrow that just won't end!

War has a life of it's own
And it surely hates to be alone
For those poor souls trapped by memory
A prayer for healing - my sympathy

---My heart goes out to these people. The greatest support and comfort for them are people just as you. *smiles and hugs*

The demons that haunt the soul are often more elusive than anyone knows.
Another wonderful write.

I love to look at expressions, pouring from your heart
That’s the place you’ve chosen, so that’s the place I’ll start,
To interpret the true meaning behind the written wall
Realize over victimize your symbols should not fall.

As Melville pen the creative prose behind a great whale white.
The measure is the value beyond the weight only sight
For white is just a ghost transparent, a metaphor for his whale.
The focus is on Capt Vengeance, his wrath does tip the scale!

Wow .. Wonderful write .. Great ... Haunted Memories ... Never Let the dream DIE ...

What are the forces that plague his
mind ?

This mainly depends on many many things ... Who is responsibe for the Haunted Memories ??.. The haunted memories can be Removed from the LIFE only when we understand the reality of LIFE ... Understand the LIFE ... Think and fine a better solution ... Some Spoil their LIFE bcoz of their dependents ... Some other spoil their life bcoz of personal LIFE ... The MEMORIES WILL ONCE EAT THAT PERSON AWAY ... ThE PERSON WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HAUNDED MEMORIES CAN ONLY SOLVE HIS PROBLEM ....

Wish THIS poem could help some one to solve his HAUNTED MEMORIES ... WISH SOMEONE SMILE and FORGET his / her HAUNTED MEMORIES ...

keep writing Wonderful WRITE ... KEEP SMILING AND KEEP A SMILE ALWAYS ...
