Faded Memories

You try to understand
on one hand -
everything makes sense
but the other hand
a piece of van Gogh's ear
a distorted story.....
just filled with lines - - -
a pretty little puzzle
with smooth round corners
light hair and eyes
then jagged little pieces -
majestic, in appearance
with clarity and thought
until you hit a dark wall
and no crystal ball -
to see.
then nothings left-
but smoke and mirrors
and faded............
memories.
