the junk drawer




my love
has no value
anymore
and yet it's still there
maybe
someday
I will need it again
I'll just
put it in a drawer
hoping
your love will
return

  2. It's always a good idea to keep some love handy. You never know whose love might come a knocking.

  4. Funny, I found this kind of sad, that the heart was tossed in the junk drawer. I kept mine in a special, silk-lined drawer for years until Lex came along... A strong poem, Grizz! Thanks, Amy

    1. yes it is sad. I'm glad you found a better place to store yours but then I have always found women to be a wee bit wiser...except of course the one who tore my heart apart

  5. Thanks for stopping by my place. What a unique little poem. The junk drawer may have been a good location for a while, but maybe you'll want to move it to a different setting -- just so it doesn't get lost, or accidentally thrown out.

    1. thanks Keith... reminds of a poem that says 'hope springs eternal in the human breast...."by Alexander Pope

      don't tell him that I hid mine in a junk drawer...

  8. One thinks about the things found in a junk drawer, all can be found and put to use on a moment's notice though they seem quiet inconsequential when taken as a whole. Love has it's place in life, and I suspect it will not linger in the junk drawer for long.
