X My Shelf

by Sole   Apr 13, 2006


Upon my shelf of memory
Lies a box without a key
Written on the outside, see
Inscriptions, always aiding me

Upon my shelf of hope and fear
Lies a mirror, crystal clear
All I think, and all I hear
Is played again, within the sphere

Upon my shelf of constant dread
Lies a coloured, two faced lead
Often blue, helps calm my head
Sometimes turning back to red

Upon my shelf of finality
Lies an aid of liberality
Sometimes gives brutality
Helps bring me back to reality

Centre of my shelf, so true
A photograph of someone new
See the face which makes me blue
The photograph, an image of you

    I loved the soul meaning of this poem! I didn't care all that much for the rhyming, I think you could have done better without it. All in all, It was really well penned. 4/5

    A very deep poem which provokes a lot of thought, nicely written and very imaginative.
