Richard Lamoureux Poet Quatrain

My Treasure

My treasure chest is filled with you
You are the stars in the night sky
The one who takes my breath away
Seeing you I let out a sigh

I searched the world to find you
All along you were hidden in my heart
Deeply buried in the centre of me
The one destined to set me free

Each kiss a diamond set in gold
You add daily to my treasures
You are my everything
My source of wealth and pleasures

I am the richest of all men
Blessed beyond any king
My treasure chest filled with you
With your love my soul has wings

I sit here thankful for the gift of you
At times i'm lost for words to say
My pot of gold at rainbows end
You still take my breath away

Lucilla Carrillo July 15, 2013 at 4:45 PM I just know that this will do great in the contest. Is this just a poem, or is it your real life? There is a saying - When we lose our father - we lose our pride - When we lose our mother - we lose our treasure.Thanks for sharing......

Poet Tacito July 15, 2013 at 8:35 AM And this is how "Men" are truly defined. When they look not at the problems of the world nor of themselves, but the resolutions. The answers. I have too much to say to this. Color me inspired... Richard Lamoureux July 15, 2013 at 8:56 AM Thanks Drake.
