Treasury

A Poem by dovetailer

There is a place we keep the things we treasure most..

Treasury

Your smile is warming
espied from here
across the space 'tween
you and me
it radiates and touches me...
not just on my cheek
but deep within me
where I my treasures keep...
my prized collection
of precious moments
that have come...enthralled
and will never come again
memories of happenings
that moved my heart in ways
that have changed me forever
Remnants
of the souls of those whom
I have loved and lost
and love still...
who have taken a piece of me
left a piece of them behind
for me to keep in return...
a soul swaps of sorts
mementos
to be cherished...
forever
there are no limits...
no constraints
of time nor space
to keep your smile from
lodging there...
I have this sense
the rest of you will follow
more than just a memory
but a presence here
Inside of me and I in you
to enlighten
all our darkest hours
and dispel all loneliness
My sentient heart
overflows with all
that I will gladly give
to make you mine...
With longing soul
I reach to touch your lips that smile
And know that they will
touch my own
one day soon
and you will take your place
among the things
I treasure most
