Little Gold Locket

Look at my
little gold locket.
It's like a replica of heaven,
perfection on a chain.
The light playing across
the plated gold:
it dances.
Inside is a picture,
an image of pure immortality,
the photograph of my love.
The locket rests on my
chest,
close to my heart,
where the cold gold
turns warm with the heat
of my passion
and lust.
The ornament completes me,
with the photograph
of my life within
its golden heart shaped
exterior.
Mon petit collier d'or.
My little gold locket.
