She held the monument to him in her hand stolen from his dresser a talisman a symbol a cufflink Her longing for him surpassed her pride focused on the trophy she sees nothing but the piece of him She gazes at the prize as though it was truly him standing there wanting her loving her But he only noticed the cufflink missing looking everywhere, he never suspected that it was the god she worshipped when she thought of him She placed it on top of her dresser a place of reverence to pray to to wish on to hope for He bought a new pair of cufflinks discarded the lone pair-less one and moved on She lingeringly doted on her idol incanting her love never to him only to the idol silently waiting Compassion is the heart and integrity is the soul of excellence. |

Thank you for reading..inspiration for this came from stepping on a cufflink in the parking lot at work. I wondered who would have dropped it...and it evolved to this poem.  |

From a small happenstance in a parking lot ... to this wonderful poem. I really enjoyed this Sharon ... it's amazing how we can hang on to physical things in either the memory of something past, or even a wish to bring a dream or want to reality. An excellent write!  Best wishes, /Kit |
