Cherished Memories

Unobscured by the dimming visions,
Unblemished by the shadowy nights,
Despite the threatening gloom,
Your serene face smiles deep within me.

Enshrouded in the veil of melancholy,
My cheery self has tarnished with time.
Yet when  idreamily recall our times together,
A smile plays across my lips.

Engulfed in the suffocating darkness,
When I try to break free,
I see my guardian angel
The darkness crumbling under her halo
And I see your placid image in her eyes.

Dreary eyed and sodden-cheeked,
When I delve into my past,
Blissful moments conjure up long forgotten memories,
And I try hard to hang on to them
For I fear tomorrow will not be the same.
