This is not about me, but seen this picture and remembered times when renting or borrowing summer cottages you find things and wonder about the story behind them...


Poem Artwork

Last Summer's Rose

 

Turned skeleton key in the padlock

Of the wind-weathered oak door

Stepped across the worn threshold

Dropped my gear on rough plank floor

 

Open up the slighly moth-eaten curtains

Dust mites mingle and dance in golden rays

The family cottage snuggled in beach dunes

Mute memories seem to echo of better days

 

There on the old butcher block table

I see a book laid open to a certain page

Last summer's rose lies silent witness

Although dried and blackened with age

 

Left it, didn't have the heart to throw it out

Someone's love offering from time ago

It might have been last summer's rose

but held a secret only two in love could know

I've been in a few musty seaside cottages opened in the spring and i'm always intrigued by the ghosts of the previous summer. old shells, super smutty paperback books, outdated magazines ...I could go on......love this write...Morgan

Peaceful thoughts of a love once past. It is so amazing what we think of when finding another's belonging left behind. Very melodic...

Be always safe,

Very beautiful but also very melancholic. I hope the memory is not of a loved one.

Quite captivating. I've often found items in rented cottages that I, too, have pondered.

Ah, Felix. Do you ever bring back memories of the Oak Cliff section of Dallas, Texas many, many moons ago. I occasioned to wander into a cabin to spend a few days. The place was out of the way and pretty run down. But on the second day there, bored, I was rummaging around and noticed a piece of wallpaper kinda ripped down at the bottom near the floor. I peeled it back and found a long ago expired woman's Illinois Drivers License and a small photo of a little boy. That was it. Turned it in to the cops, but never heard if they found out anything or not. I just quit asking. See what you brought back, Felix? I can't even remember the woman's name now or I'd go online and try to find out something about her.

I'm sorry to get so carried away, man. I loved your poem, but it just jolted that memory from the recesses of my mind.
