They’re Not Just Any Old Poems Nothing left of any value Except for these old love poems Of true love that will last forever They have been sealed In a vault protected inside my heart These forgotten words come alive When the poems are opened With the key of my heart Breathing in the essence of These simple words of love That I carry in my soul Of love we shared as we grew old Remembrance of Its author And his hold that holds me near What he was worth in my life My love would write to me Not any old poem will do Just the one that were Handwritten with endearment From him to me They are not waterproof As my wet tears drop onto the page As my heart yearns for the day I’ll be with once more 6/24/2015

Ah, so lovely to be able to read from the original paper those old poems were written. I can see you in my mind, Eve. Like the others here, I too regret that my old poems when I was a teenager till university days were either ruined or lost at my parental home. I only have my recent ones now, since November. sigh...:-)

I had given a bunch of poems to a teacher when I was a kid and never got them back. I was so upset. I am glad your memories are in a safe place. This is a sweet piece.

Your poetry is beautiful, whatever you did than made you into a great poet, not unless you're talking about your love life well that is a different story I wouldn't know.
