I keep the treasure guarded,
in the fortress of my mind.
Shrouded from on-lookers;
protected from prying eyes.
It is not just an image,
or a photo,
so sublime.
It is a casket full of wonderment;
a jewel of womankind.
It evokes a feeling from me:
Rawness,
un-refined.
And it leads me to a place,
that others would gladly die,
to find.
I am humble in its presence,
and would never question the design,
for the treasure that I hold so dear,
is the thought that you are mine.

How thought provoking, a private thought of someone
you love, I like this.

I really liked this at first reading but I felt there was a word or two that could be lost.
As I pondered which and where I finally realised it was perfect and that the changes were needed only in the way I read it. A jewel!
