One stair at a time.
The wood beneath my foot makes a creak,
The darkness makes me panic.
I light a candle to calm those nerves of mine,
The tiny flame warms my cheeks.
I examine the gloom of the space around me,
Gather my bearings, and
Am engulfed by the shadows.
The magical box that I seek,
Is lost somewhere in the night so deep.
This box my love did bestow,
To me with all his heart,
A short time before we had to part.

I see the box, and
Remember his face,
I cling onto our memories,
As if they were the fine particles
on a butterfly’s wings,
So delicate, and beautiful
Yet if disturbed, gone without a trace.
I peer inside,
Dust and memories fill my lungs,
A stab of remorse pummels me.
I recollect all of the fun.
The feelings that I felt back then, and
The emotions that I feel right now.
I remember to good times,
As well as the bad,
All of the precious memoirs that we once had. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 166 [topic] => 24 [informant] => tabby [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LoveRemembered )

Memoirs of a dead love

Topic: LoveRemembered

I climb up to the attic,
One stair at a time.
The wood beneath my foot makes a creak,
The darkness makes me panic.
I light a candle to calm those nerves of mine,
The tiny flame warms my cheeks.
I examine the gloom of the space around me,
Gather my bearings, and
Am engulfed by the shadows.
The magical box that I seek,
Is lost somewhere in the night so deep.
This box my love did bestow,
To me with all his heart,
A short time before we had to part.

I see the box, and
Remember his face,
I cling onto our memories,
As if they were the fine particles
on a butterfly’s wings,
So delicate, and beautiful
Yet if disturbed, gone without a trace.
I peer inside,
Dust and memories fill my lungs,
A stab of remorse pummels me.
I recollect all of the fun.
The feelings that I felt back then, and
The emotions that I feel right now.
I remember to good times,
As well as the bad,
All of the precious memoirs that we once had.

Ahhhhhh... memories.
This is a very nice write. You describe the scene well - good imagery. Like:
I cling onto our memories,
As if they were the fine particles
on a butterfly’s wings,
So delicate, and beautiful
Yet if disturbed, gone without a trace.
I peer inside,
Dust and memories fill my lungs,

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
