Token Of My Affection

Little pieces of metal
touched by me touching you
held together by links of love
linking us together
in a token of affection.

Little pieces of metal
charming me with thoughts of you
in a chain charmed
by your love for me
in a token of affection.

Little pieces of metal
joining me to you
in an identical chain
touching me by your touch
in a token of affection.

Little pieces of metal
bonding my love for you
in a bond held by you
in this bridge that holds us
in a token of affection.

Little pieces of metal
that link twin hearts
across the distance
of time and space
in a token of affection.

Little pieces of metal
connecting links
that fill in the emptiness
between us and is us
in a token of affection.

Little pieces of metal
that becomes you to me
and me to you
shared with and cared for
in a token of affection.
