Sashi Prabhu Poet Couplet

My Attic Treasure Trove

26/2/2012
By Sashi Prabhu (zeauoxian)
Contest: treasure trove

Austerely laid my eyes firmly on my garden far side 
 Tattered page piles, from my attic treasure trove, littered outside.

I picked up a dog eared page of the days of sitting together,
In this garden, cuddling and smooching in cold weather.

On such a glorious winter day, I scribbled on this page love notes,
A long time ago, by the way, in double quotes

Nostalgic now the dismal, Melancholy tenors that fill in,
Memories of “au revoir”, replete my poignant heart to its brim.

A wind now blows this dog eared page & it flies by the old gum tree
Dully chase it with some rage &as I see the page, begin to read all about me……………..

For the last two lines, the paper is vacant void & bare,
Heart’s healed wounds to open with quinine drenched text I would not dare.
