The last key you left
gets rusty
Backyard deserted
House vacant
The key chain tied to the key
is a small gourd
The words on it worn a little
I can still recognize:
I'm empty like a wind
I'll be back
Now the key tied to my wrist
Yes, I hold it -
When I'm empty
I'm back
Memories get rusted over time. But heart keeps them cherished, stashed away in the remotest corner. Ready to revisit "when I am empty like a wind"..
'When I'm empty I'm back' - very nice! That happens with me too!
This poem touched me very deep, a soulful poem, Cigeng. Please return and write more. You are so poetical. Thank you so much for sharing this last poem. Last Key, but never Lost Key.
The feeling of loss and emptiness has been so vividly depicted, it's a very touching and impressive piece of work.
Wonderful imaginary and imagery. Beautifully crafted on home and nostalgia. Interesting to read over and over again. Thank u dear Cigenz for sharing this lovely poem.
