gold locket against my breast

Listen to poem:

letters lie crumpled
when will you read them again?
open tiny tin locket

memories hidden
way back in chest of drawers
warm? among the socks and scarves...

I clutch my side. 
The photo in my pocket.
I grace my neck.
This tiny rusted locket.
My conscience in my mind
Is telling me I'm fine.
It seems I can't
get over you....

An image in a locket

Thy face encased in gold 
placed at my breast,
all I have left

Yet, how am I to hold 
an image in a locket?

piano rocket
jazzy orchestra sprockets

no electric guitar
no electrical sockets

careful where you dance
might get hit with a lover's locket

no security here
no need to empty your pockets
bumping to trumpet prophets...

Harry is heartbroken,
his wonderful mother
has died. He passes her
heart shaped gold locket to
her great granddaughter. She
hugs him and places the
heirloom around her neck.

See that little girl in white
With the golden locket?
She is what you could be
She is what you would be
If I had a penny in my pocket

L’artiste a son atelier
Le fleuriste a son bouquet
Écrivaine sans histoire
Qu’est-ce que donc j’ai ?...

Isabel, you’re always near
Swaying on my warm chest
That giggle lays by the pillow
Dear child gone, tucked with love;
Isabel, you’re always near!

The Foyer Of The Heart


In the center there’s
a hollow

small, enclosed,
oval like a locket

called the foyer 
of the heart.

There the bullets 
carom while 

the widow,
room to room, 

hunts her man 
around the house.

Listen to poem:

A long piece of string
is shorter when knotted.
Memories entwined, enraptured 
are captured, confined 
to remind in locket.
Held dangling over the heart,
on string tied behind 
the neck, knotted

Just a heart shaped photograph 
A symbol of your love 
I wore it on our wedding day
Sadly, all that remains
Just a heart shaped photograph

what is love
is love a rose
is it of the heart
did it just arose
why cant i be apart

is it in chocolate
is it in the bed
is it in a locket
does it have to do with red

is it in a box
is it in a ring
is it in rocks
or in an angels wing
what is love...

I reached above and grabbed a star
and placed it in a locket
In hopes that you will wear it
every day the sun does set

So when you see its glimmer
as the evening starts to darken
You’ll know how much I love you
and you never will forget...

Soldier stashed a silver locket
Safe inside his jacket pocket
When the war would numb his senses
He’d break down and drop pretenses
Open up the only token
That recalled those thoughts unspoken
Images of infant, young wife
For their freedom, he’d give his life...

Psychosomatic memories
Sweating in Indian summer 
Burying bones wrapped in a golden locket
And the dirt does ruin its shine
Just as a heatwave burns autumnal beauty 

And it's so very shameful 
That I let my hate conquer you 
I wish I had the courage
To let my heart bleed with you...
