Sweep the carpets. <br />Sweep bad memoirs under the carpet. <br />Dust away those cob-webs. <br />Dust where hurtful memoirs linger. <br />Mop the floors. <br />Mop the ocean of sad memoirs you once shed. <br />Empty the bins. <br />Empty your pitiful bank of memoirs. <br /> <br />With your home sparkling clean. <br />With your memory cleaned of tainted memoirs. <br /> <br />Reminisce no more. <br />Open your once locked door. <br />Beauty and love, wait and reach out to you. <br />Take it, it's well deserved. <br />Live your life now. <br />Those memoirs <br />Are no more. <br />Deleted and cleaned away.<br /><br />Deborah Ashdown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cleaned-away/
