Buried deep inside the treasure chest

Hidden in a tiny box

Amongst old clothes and knick-knacks

And the ticking of the clocks

Double-sided swivel brooch

A keepsake for one so fair

Encasing a portrait of her lover

With a woven lock of his hair

Reminiscing of times long ago

Which seem like yesterday

She gently releases it from captivity

In celebration of Valentine's Day
