(an old thought expressed on april 22, 2009)
There are memories
And there are layers of memories
I wrap each of them
Very carefully and tenderly
In satin and silk emotions
And put them
Neatly
In the glassy transparent cupboard of my psyche
To be protected by my white soul
And to be withdrawn in silent afternoons
Looked at, remembered and cherished
Felt, cried, touched, kissed, cradled
And then placed back ....
With a lingering desire to open them again....
In crisp afternoons..
During starry nights
When the waves of my emotions..
Touch a high..
And i go back to my ...
Glassy transparent cupboard...

Beautifully expressed thoughts about memories.
ReplyDeleteMemories flood me all the time and as you have just rendered so lyrically...i too feel that i am ME because of my memories.

Beautiful just like you!
ReplyDeleteMemories always bring more memories....
"With a lingering desire to open them again....
In crisp afternoons.."
the cupboard of memories always bring smiles/tears/desperations/some regrets...yet it is so close to heart that it is always soothing to open them up and spread it even just for a while on our heart!!!
Magical! Loved reading it thoroughly and experiencing it.
Sometimes you want to read a poem twice, thrice may be, or even more times. It touches a specific cord. This is one of them. Beautiful!
