Best Locket Poems

The Locket  (it’s never too late)

She hid in the shadows with tears in her eyes
The locket she wore, she had come to despise
In dangling silver the shape of a heart
What once was a gift now ripped her apart

Alone with her feelings, she crept through...

"Time doesn't stand still the way our hearts do, when it locks onto a memory and suspends it, holding it, caressing it, gazing deeply into it and sucking at it gently hoping to savor again one last time, the sweetness of a time otherwise gone...

Blue bells engraved on
gold locket against my breast
reminder of love
when time carelessly spent in
lying on the meadow green...

She left nothing but a broken locket,
snapped in two, as though it had been stepped on.
And as I slipped it into my pocket,
I realized that she was truly gone.

She kept our pictures in a golden heart,
saying we would always be together.
But before too long, we...

Tokens of past, wrapped in memories
All ribbons tied, preserving its treasures
Those precious moments, elapsed in time
Thoughts bring forth, those sentimental pleasures

Forever to be, love and devotion
Promised in vows, we remained together
Counting the years, each day blessed
I will repeat, I do forever...

Homeless without a blanket
poor as a penniless pocket
so sad I can barely take it
around her neck a locket


She lives on a destitute island with unsettling surroundings. Cold nights. Black days. No one even notices her on the streets. People speed walk through Detroit so fast...

Old Salley faces gallows.
Will she eat Jail gruel?
Will monks pray?...

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...

I wear an imaginary locket around my neck

I go to a quiet place and look at your picture

I close my eyes softly and ponder what your eyes look like

Then I close my imaginary locket and place it even closer to my heart

Its hinges are worn

Your...

Like the oyster keeping its mouth fastened with pearl,
Her locket was calm with pearl of secret, treasured;
Link has loosened somewhere? Nerve got numbed? Sudden whirl…?
Once psychologically bound has now leisured...?

She held it to her heart; right hand clasping it tight,
Haven't her life-time dreams and hopes...

Heart pounding at full speed
Smiling eyes
At the glance of you
Happiness surges through my body veins bones an all
Without you I’m afraid i'll crash an fall
Take my hand
And take my heart
Coz I give it all to you
I give everything to be with you
The earth bounds us
but...

On Her Locket
================
O altering love! My love,
Let you remove the locket
Your pir-father has given you to wear
Around oh! Your delicate neck.
I’m sure you’ll find this life lovely again,
This earth—heavenly.
Those slipping smiles and that loud laughter,
Shall return.
That scolding and sulking,
 That tickling, irritating and false-fighting,
 All...

A new time, enveloped inside mine
Keeps ticking aloft besides
And slides the locket of her mother
Beyond the socket of the wayside
Opens diversity into plain view
Where others place their often misguided
Open-faced mindless guffaw over
The mantle of deceit, where she sits
Like she is the queen of eternity
But she...

This silver trinket means so much to me
An old broken locket from yesterday
Caught in a memory of mystery
The womanly image on my mind does play.

Her countenance is definitely pensive
Graceful shoulders and hands arranged just so
Beautiful brooch on blouse looks expensive
Intuitive feeling what do I know?

Father...
