There in plain view a secret box
That held all his letters
Remants of your favorite flower
One to like, well never 

At the bottom a plane ticket
To a destination
Undesired, frozen Alaska
Total aberration

Why hold onto dead love letters?
Or his favorite flower
An unused plane ticket crackled_
Why reminisce this hour 

So different this strange couple
In flowers, expressions
Held together by a secret box
A unique possession

Within that box sealed away; things
Some bad these which they sling
Forget their existence, buried
Now that secret box cling

Cling to every precious moment
A love that lasted through
Good times and bad, hard times and sad
Divine love story true

Thanks again Sara for your comments on my poem, Singers. I first write the poems then put tunes to them and sing them on 'open mic nights' which is what this poem is about. On youtube - Came here to connect, Louis Spence. Not my best performance however. I like the mystery of your In Plain View and its title. Keep on writing - it nourishes the soul.
