Upon The Shelf

Looking through some old books that rest upon a shelf, I came across a book that I must have read a dozen times, I opened up the book to find a paper tucked inside. It held words I once scribled and never really finished so I thought what a memory, I will use this today.


 

Upon The Shelf

I found a book upon the shelf,
I blew some dust away,
A book that I was fond of,
And proudly placed on display.

I opened up the book to find,
The words once , that held no lies.
For a moment my mind went blank.
For I felt I was hypnotised.

I read the words that blind my eyes,
For the tears that  formed quickly,
As I remembered back to a time,
The love between both you and me.

A crinkled piece of paper,
Held my heart and soul,
That lay hidden within the pages,
Of a true love gone untold. 

So many years have passed,
Our love grew stronger everyday,
As we proudly share our feelings,
Of our love put on display.

Again I'll neatly place that book,
Upon a shelf for all to see,
I'll leave the words that I once wrote,
And held dear so proudly.

Isn't it wonderful to come across something so precious sis, I have done the same thing a couple of times and it certainly brings back a memory and hopefully a smile to our lips.

Love you sis

Interesting piece you have written, that jogged my memory. I went into the back of my closet and found that I still have photographs and momentos from my first husband. A few choice letters that I have forgotten that I still have and the memories that came alive from it. But my life now is with my second husband and I surely hope and pray this will be forever. Sincerely enjoyed this one...

Be safe,
Karen

Rose,
Going through my paperwork for answers to the interrogatories posed to me I found several cards from my soon to be ex professing her undying love for me and I wondered what happened. some of the brought me to melencholy, Remembering what once was, my heart was agin rent, but time has passed and things are better now. So wht to do with these memories? I have yet to decide, so I just put them back, only to be drug out another day when the sting is not so fresh. Mybe then i will have the hardness of heart to throw them away.

Treaures found in long left places reminding us of love(s) that may be with us today, or, loves from our past. Wonderful to read and I actually gave a little cough when you blew the dust off of the book.
Very real to many of us who will enjoy this poem.
My very best
Chris

Dear Rose, this is priceless, and yes I think we all find tokens of love hidden away from time to time to remind us that what we have is special and forever. You have captured this beautifully and your tempo and delivery in this one is perfect. Well done indeed.

Beautifully written and expressed memories!
I often write words of events on a paper that
Occurred to me and always forget where I put it
Or just completely forget till one day
I bump into this pieces of paper
Such greatest feeling finding somting you forgotten!
Beautifully written and displayed words!
Love Peace and hugsssss...Morning Star
