Treasure Chest

Treasure Chest
Form: Free Verse

I kept our letters from long ago
in a chest under my bed
my treasure of hidden messages
in the stories of every day
and I smile when I think of the coded ways
we used to say “I love you”
our love that can never die
for you and your love changed my life
the only love I will ever want is you
so I cherish our letters
recalling the days I will remember always
as if I only saw you yesterday
in the echoes of promised love we made
forever and a day

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
