A Collector of Things


He had a pension for collecting
objects, 
items, 
         things and toys
covert or frank, 
it didn't matter,
         he saw them each the same

Memories
became objects
                           forever on display
    
                           Mementos to dust and shine
ever adored
                 in the archives of his mind

  1. Ahhh... I'm glad he enjoys collecting, even if it's only in his mind :)

  2. Collecting as we both know can be a fickle thing, there is a point where too much is too much I suppose. But still some collecting is good, gives us something to do at least..haha

  3. I'm a collector...and the worst thing about it is the dusting. haha. At least with memories you don't have to do that. :)

  4. I'm reminded of those folks featured on hoarders, and my uncle, who keeps stacks of old magazines and has a large collection of clay figurines. There's a story behind those things, keeping them is keeping memory, keeping precious memories close i guess.
