BOOK-MARKS to Tinsley's " My Treasure" 12/01

I found an old diary of mine,

in the safe, “Spider Place”,

where I, at one time, hid my soul,

as I used to,  until you came.

Now my secrets are very plain:

you and I are much the same.





Very gently each page opens,

for the feelings are as fragile

as the story is, and just as old.

Yet, when translated, it’s very new.

I find old book-marks, my tear-stains;

but I know I won’t cry again.  Thank you!!





Diaries, feelings, memories: TREASURES!!

Reverie, Tres Jolie, these are my pleasures!!



(I believe this is in Spencerian Sonnet-form:

sestet / sestet / couplet.)

Very Nice Teddy, nicely said, nicely done.
How funny that I found my old diary just this week.....so much in there, so much that it
can still elicit a smile and a tear or two. (actually more than two). Diaries, old love letters, etc....they are treasures, to keep.
