The spoon

In a drawer covered with dust
Lay a spoon rusted and warped
Seeping with memories

Gold twisted at the top
Forming a crest
Designed for a baby

Take a touch, let it fill you up
Indents of babies teeth
Warmth to the soul

Memoirs of a happy couple
Essence of love, and hope
The burnt floor creaks

Voices surrounding
Wind closing the door
Speaking to you

This rusted spoon will not be taken
This is our treasure even in death
This is our spirit, our soul

This spoon given
When fruit was in womb
Won’t be removed

The spoon in the drawer eternal
Happy and sad memories it holds.
Forever protected by souls.

Thank you, recently I’ve

Thank you, recently I've been trying to write poems that are not only realistic, but also have that aspect, of fun, and fiction. Though I'm great at showing the emotions, I'm horrible at painting a clear picture.
