Default Mirage

Nothing- but faded memories
was left to mark the shapes and signs
painted along forgotten walls
scattered fragments lost in time.


Footprints and bits of broken bytes
Sketched within tapestry’s lines
Home to some faded accolade
Place of an ebbing soul’s shrine.


Long, empty stares without a sight
Dashes and glimpses flashed in and out
Remnant and bits of simple pleasures
The real treasures of your life.


Forgotten wishes thrown aside
As soul floats back in days gone by
Retracing footsteps, recalling tales
Lingering echoes lost in time.


Mirages- offered sacrifice
Packets of thoughts to coincide
Scrawled in planes and hidden slopes
Immortalized by time.

The title so perfect for your poem...what lingers in the mind and heart can seem so very tangible though...maybe it is only the desperate need for it that makes it so....enjoyed this...ache and all~

AD, thank you so much.. yes, longing for something in the past tend to linger in such a bittersweet way sometimes, a flicker of wanting so much to hold on to it- like a lifeline perhaps.. when one seems to be drowning into something big that tends to be overwhelming..

thanks, my dear! :-)

Dirpping - had to read this a few times, it insists that you linger.
Just the easiest flowing, and heartfelt way to express these feelings and I love it!!!!

My fave verse at the moment by Mortal Love:
A kiss to bid your heart farewell,
there's nothing left of me to sell
I forgive the end for its suffocating hope and fear
Before I ever wave goodbye - cross my heart and hope to die
Tomorrow is a different day, another chance to fade away
A million times I'd die for you
but even death can be untrue
Despite the soul I tore apart,
despite the times I drowned my heart
So I betray the mission - fall apart.

Wow, I really like this. The imagery is lovely and I like how you set up each stanza. It flows nicely and I too believe the title is quite fitting. Well done.
