Image for the poem Shades of My Past

Shades of My Past

At the night’s first blush,  
The sun’s curtains set,
Counting down the dark hours  
With a pendulum,
And painted shades of my past
Onto the walls,
With a magenta limelight,
Confined within a carton.
I remain collared  
By the forgotten record’s flashbacks,
Restraining me from climbing off  
My self-built cage,
To catch a glimpse of rays,
To caress and taste  
The breath of wind's whiff.
