Prescious

Trinkets of time
Capsules for healing
These memories mine
Greedily concealing
Timeless images
That are mine alone
Through the ages
Carved to the bone
Secured by my insecurity
I'll take them to the grave
Prescious framed clarity
Veiled moments to save

About this poem:

Some memories are so personal and prescious
we hold them close within.

Good poetry.
Shortness of words,
Meaningful metaphors,
Small pearl of your thoughts.

Hi Boys

This so much reminds me of a song from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical "Cats" - Memory. As a by-the-by, the title of that song is frequently mis-quoted as "Memories."

Nice write...

I really enjoyed this one and yes the phrase "Secured by my insecurity" is one that I think is something I had never thought about it. But now since I see you have brought it up. Yes I believe you have something there

Remarkably introspective and honest....pure.....

Thanks PN1. When I first wrote "secured by my insecurity" it
seemed contradictive but really we do conceal and protect things
because we are all somewhat insecure. Who'd a thunk? TY
