Key

Key hidden deep within the dark past. A key to unlock the past or to shut it away.

Key

Cobwebs, light the attic

A window, a pin prick of a hole,

let’s in kisses of sunlight

Speckles of dust everywhere

 

The air heavy

Full of weighted pasts

Smells of musty

Molded old pages of a diary book

 

Cluttered and cram packed

Glazed with dirty and dust

Upon the once scot free

Floor

 

A key hidden

To unleash the past

Or to lock it away

Hidden key

This has a wonderful symbolic meaning to it I believe. I think it means we all keep our deep dark secrets lock away in the atiic of the mind, and we hide it away so no one else can see... I love this piece because I have done this alot in my life. To keep from being hurt and suffering... I think this poem is one of my favorites from you Chels I love this so. Great Job!

I love the story of the key in this poem. Do you open the past of leave it alone? It is a good question.

Very good

[Quinn Blackburn]

great atmosphere... gives you that feeling one experiences when you climb up into a long-disused attic, cluttered with forgotten treasures awaiting your discovery. In the third stanza, should "dirty" be just "dirt"? excellent writing!

A very creepy and mysterious poem, would like to see more like these.
Great stuff as always:)

I like how the key, and the neglected setting of an attic, give off an enchanted and mysterious description of something so simple.
