February 2024 Paper Poetry
Murky Crystal Vault
Riddled with cracks

All that once was
lies now within
this murky crystal vault.
Peek what you lived,
gander what you felt,
know they won't recur no more.
No key,
no code,
no combination,
nought will allow you in
to feel for real all you felt way back.
Hard as diamond,
riddled with cracks,
impenetrable nonetheless.
Such is time.
This is Part I of my 3-part poetry series, Locked In Time.
Part II, All That & All Those —
Part III, If You Don’t Mind —
Submitted to Paper Poetry’s February prompt: Love Track B — “Love is the heaviest burden for those who feel it most.” ~ Mark Antony
