I thought of you today
Amidst the chaos and the snow
I thought of you and summer
When I stepped inside
Away from biting flakes of solitude

I found an old life
(Tangled in yellowed pages and a picture or two)
While rummaging in a forgotten desk drawer
That reminded me of something
But of what I can't be sure

hmm.forces the reader to search for the missing pieces of the puzzle.
btw, I think there's a bit of rewrite in the line about the forgotten drawer.

I wonder what you are reminded of. Good piece.

There definitely is a sense of mystery in this poem. I wonder along with Madhumakhi.

I so get this!
When rifling through the past, one can easily question the recollections and remembrances. Was that real? What I thought it to be?
Your piece perfectly conveys this often experienced disjointedness between past and present.

Great on disconnected thoughts.

Memories are like that - half forgotten and half remembered - sometimes missing that little important link.

Well written.

Kudos on "biting flakes of solitude".

Kat Mortensen said...

Oh yes! We all have those hidden away past lives that trigger memories - faded, and less important with time.

I've been reading several of your works, and I really like the way you insert just the right unexpected image!
