Endless rows of shelves, some empty, some filled; each book a memory, a file on store, a million different stories held there. Each person their own library of experience, each person with halls of depth, valuable expression. Who visits these places, who lingers there? Which rows are locked tight, forbidden authors of moments not shared? Who is free to roam unguarded, who walks these blocked off halls? Why do we feel the need to hide the ragged, unkept, unmended? Buried, to the back, dusty and unvisited. When was the last time you bared a black book, opened it, read from its pages? What does such vulnerability bring, rejection, judgments unseen? No, most likely not. Is there not something we are all hiding? And what does the hidden bring, but more binding? What treasures will I find when you unlock the dark, what light will it shed for the shelves of my heart?

A very interesting way of expressing what's underneath the surface, in our hearts and minds. Least that's what I get out of it.

Hiya and welcome also!
I agree with Tim, you have expressed your thoughts in quite a unique way here.
Our lives are made up of many books, some open, some closed, but they are all worth reading!
The more I read this poem, they more I like it!
Well done, Star x x x |
