Vegter Papyrus Poet Free verse

Recycled Treasure

My heart has accepted every piece of furniture
you have brought in and hoarded, polished and stored, 
for show or hidden in the attic of cerebral storage. 

Cobwebs draped the entrances I walked through
without wincing, chasing extinguishing light…
gold tarnishing possibilities that I found invaluable.

Love how you entered her mind and was able to show how attentive and observant you are. Great read!!! Vegter Papyrus September 23, 2019 at 2:51 AM Thanks! The past should remain in the past. It's crazy that it does alter a lot of peoples future. Then someone comes along and show you that you're worth more, is priceless.
