Within the Tomb

There are treasures untold
untouched
inside my soul
Like King Tut's tomb
buried beneath the sand
Wondrous wealth
A heart of gold
Loyalty like lapis lazuli
precious and rare
Amulets of affection
Canopic jars of care
The loom on which 
I weave my words
into tapestries
telling my stories
The sarcophagus in which
my spirit soundly sleeps
waiting to be awakened
by one who's brave
and bold enough
to break the sacred seal
and show me love is real

I love this poem. Perhaps one of my favorites, if not my very favorite. I curious AA to all the treasures hidden within your soul!

Enjoyed! But waiting for love is like waiting for a bus to arrive, so many things can happen to delay it! Aloha! Rico
