Sometime we hold on to people.

My Hoard

Before snows arrived

I buried your heart deeply

in my winter store.

Hmm. I really enjoy the wintery image. This is appropriate given that we are transitioning into fall where we "hoard" or harvest. Sometimes we cannot let go of people so we put them somewhere safe in our hearts.

Thank you for sharing!

Welcome dear. :D
Yes, we do keep some loves alive for years while we await their return. So beautifully written John...

You are welcome.
A little gem! Is that a play on the word "hoard" as in the title, then "horde" as in a group? If so, brilliant. If it was unintended, leave it.

Ah I did contemplate using this device but meant to keep it simple lol! Many thanks Carol.
i have some people buried under drifts.....just so that i can dig them out every once in a while and put down some words.....they tend to melt in my muse.

Yes often we have to try to 'bury' our feelings to avoid winters pangs. Many thanks Jacob.
