Chains of daisies
cover the door
to ancient bones within,

entombed in bands
of iron,
unsullied by the tools of
insidious plunderers,


coveters of by-gone
treasure from
long ago centuries


I hope that I have not posted this one before, would not want to be a bore. Maggie

Maggie- With writing such as this, you could never be a bore.

We are all equal but we’re individually different
and able to reach the impossible if we try.

An interest in archeology perhaps?

I do anyway, this was very good and appealed to that sense of discovery that intrigues me about the ancient past.  

I can almost imagine the smell of the dusty old crypt... sigh

As an archeaologist, the title and poem appealed to me straight off..
As a poet, I felt this poem much deeper, almost as if it were metaphorically describing the layer of dust collected upon my heart. That inner tomb that I hold safe and secure from all of lifes ups and downs.. Of my own innocence lost, like a childhood dream from so long ago.

Really liked this one
