Key

Key hidden deep within the dark past. A key to unlock the past or to shut it away.

Key

Cobwebs, light the attic

A window, a pin prick of a hole,

let’s in kisses of sunlight

Speckles of dust everywhere

 

The air heavy

Full of weighted pasts

Smells of musty

Molded old pages of a diary book

 

Cluttered and cram packed

Glazed with dirty and dust

Upon the once scot free

Floor

 

A key hidden

To unleash the past

Or to lock it away

Hidden key

This has a wonderful symbolic meaning to it I believe. I think it means we all keep our deep dark secrets lock away in the atiic of the mind, and we hide it away so no one else can see... I love this piece because I have done this alot in my life. To keep from being hurt and suffering... I think this poem is one of my favorites from you Chels I love this so. Great Job!

Sounds like the key to Pandora's Box to me...hidden in some old attic hidden from the world.

[Calypso]

Very dark and mystic.

Good word pictures in this dusty attic, lost or left lying there is the key, key to our dreams or to our destiny, winding staircase bannister cold, door ajar do we enter do we dare..........Great work

I want to share the imagery that I pictured here. I imagined myself in an old empty attic that was full of my past memories. I was stumbling around looking to see if the past was something to examine or to look past. This poem did a great job of drawing me in, and showing an excellent point.
