Locket

Cassie58

inside your soldier hands 

my silver heart 

of sterling i am valued 

more than gold

undo the tiny clasp 

find you and me 

the wealth lies in the 

timeless bond we hold 

 

i am the reason why 

you choose to live 

there’s nothing else of me

that i can give 

our lips meet daily 

in the desperate dark 

come life or death we’ll

ne’er be torn apart

    Not keen on romantic poetry, but this is a good 'un, Cassie.

        Well, your fan club has spoken, this is about as romantic as you can get Cassie. Perfect to "Get In The Mood" ๐Ÿ˜‰๐ŸŒน

          Deep meaning here it is not what we are made of that dictates value but memories and feelings. So true Cassie said in such a wonderful metaphor.

          • Cassie58

            Thank you for your encouraging and thoughtful review Sorenbarrett. Have a good Sunday.

              Why, yes, you're the reason why I choose to live, of course. Dunno why I didn't think of you earlier! lol.
              Note to self: Do shut up Orchi. lol.

              • Cassie58

                Thank you Orchi. Can you hear the raucous laughter from my husband ๐Ÿ˜€

                    Looks like I ticked my own box. How can I fav my own poem when I donโ€™t know how to fav anyone elseโ€™s? ๐Ÿ˜€ My scrolling on my phone is getting me into trouble. My head really isnโ€™t that big!!!
