Treasures of the Heart

Her hopes and dreams
dash away
the day he leaves her side.

Loneliness surrounds the abode,
silence too much to bear,
recalling precious moments they shared
taking refuge alone
hiding from the rest of the world.

Pulling out those buried treasures
one by one
vowing to keep them alive.

Treasure Hunter

Excitement rushes
when he hears the squeal of the metal detector,
hurriedly he pushes his foot down on the shovel,
hoping to unearth a piece of history.

Unveiling a metal bottle cap
his disappointment lingers
but it doesn’t hinder his search,
for he’s determined to discover
a long-lost treasure.

Hours turn into days,
days turn into nights,
but his will and determination
doesn’t give up this fight.

He’s certain riches await him,
as he walks through the hot sun
listening for the barren earth
to give him a clue.
