Memories Beyond the Door

Fly away from the memories
The ghosts of past trailed, never stop to chase
A journey finally brings me back
Back to the same door that I used to open

The breezes that I never forgotten
The odor of the hall that never change
I stood at the edge of my gate's sanity, the lips of an old trip
Be ready for the first gusts of my treasures' pasts

Vacant room is just like what I've thought
No passer, no shadow, only me in this big hollow
I reached the dusty quilt, cover up my self
This is my comfort zone, while I sit among a loss

Tears of yearn never melt, I assume it has dried
Maybe it goes to some other places
Where nobody or nothing could even see or realized 

Missing out this place, I think this is too much
The reflection of my bitter sweet memories reeled out
Playing the same scene at the same place where I stood
Where I can see those people who once ever filled this empty room

Those people who now fill the empty space of heaven's room

Hi Yanny, it's not everyday that I bump into a talented Indonesian poet who also write in English so it was a great pleasure to have your encouraging comment on my poem. I feel that there is something so tender in the persona's melancholy it hurts me inside. It's not the razor-sharp kind of hurt but more like being, I don't know, pinched? The emotion creeps so silently and so gradually it hurts worse than it should have. Thanks for sharing such an emotional piece Yanny!
