Old closet

sorenbarrett

Folded discreetly and tucked away
Memories piled neatly of a bygone day 
Frayed dreams of a forgotten dance
The pale sunbeams of a faded romance
A pair of hopes tattered, split and torn
Our bath soaps, a faint fragrance once worn 
Postcards of desires never traveled
Embroidered patched love ever unraveled

          The rummaging through the old storage cupboards we all keep, reminding us sometimes of things we had completely forgotten, enjoyed the read
