Locket

inside your soldier hands
my silver heart
of sterling i am valued
more than gold
undo the tiny clasp
find you and i
the wealth lies in the
timeless bond we hold

i am the reason why
you fight to live
there’s nothing more 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

Romantic to the core, this piece contains all the ingredients, the memento or locket, that brings memories, the presenting of danger in the soldier, the threat of death and the pledge that even this will not separate an eternal bond. So nicely worded.

It is amazing the thoughts that items such as these can create in a poet’s mind. Just holding or touching and closing your eyes, can get that muse moving. Thank you my friend.
