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.

James Inman August 30, 2016 at 12:12 PM 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.

Paul Callus August 21, 2016 at 6:01 AM 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
