The Locket

This seat, this view, the hot rising sun Memories began, flooding her heart. As she gazed out at the tranquil beach She recalled their hopes, their dreams, their first time in these seats. They had walked this beach, laughing so silly His smile, her giggle, making love in the sand. He sketched their initials with a bright yellow straw Covered her eyes, and asked for her hand. He clasped a locket around her neck Like a glimpse of heaven, a beautiful poem My strength, my soul, the place I call home. As he approached the table, she giggles, he smiles, he clasps her hand, the locket, close. We chose one another with hope in our heart Like a glimpse of heaven, a beautiful poem This locket is a token Of our love from the start.

My last read of yours for now, I WILL RETURN! A sweet caring piece. You mentioned to me that many of your best poems you had not posted, I have read some special ones today, all of which show depth of emotion, great imagery and smooth writing. Bye for now.

This is truly lovely, Lynn! The locket and the seat both hold some very special memories, especially of your "love from the start". Full marks to you! Would have expected more comments on this post!Regards // paul
