FORGET

by aminath   Oct 28, 2011


I wish

Mr. Forget

would visit me soon

A supposed medicine man

Since ancient times

For I have been severely afflicted

By this fatal disease

The most ruthless of its kind

Beginning quite harmless

A simple seed

When tended to

With the right conditions

And the chemical components

In alliance

With the biological proportions

Grows a deep rooted plant

Bearing fruits and flowers

For the blessed, It becomes

the greatest of joy

While weaving a web

Of everlasting woe

For the less fortunate

It had struck its virus

When, unassuming

I had inhaled

The scent of the blooming rose

Offered to me

As a gift

For I had been captivated

By its unique charm

Since then

I have been thrashed

And skinned

Like a husk of rice

Skin blemished and naked

I am vulnerable

To Mr. Gravity

Of Newton

And Sir, Physics

Of roll a ton

Hanging upside down

Somewhere between reality

And the flowing absurdity

I suffer endlessly

And now

The ailment Has dispatched

Its deadly Roots

to the center

Of my being

So, Ms. Memories

Keep on stabbing my heart

Over and over again

While Mr. Remember

Keeps on applying salt

On the wounds

Day and night

Oh how I wish

they would leave me alone

I had taken

Oral doses of time

As a self medication

And have applied ignore

As an external ointment

But to no avail

Ms Memories and Mr. Remember

Together, seem to enjoy

inflicting pain on me

And I pray to Almighty

That soon

Mr. Forget would arrive

From the eastern horizon

On a white horse

With the right antidote

Before these barbarians

take over

My soul Completely

And I lose Ms. Sanity

My identical twin

Which, will rob me

of my own identity

And I will cease to exist,

Till infinity
