Regarding A Locket

I never cut a lock of hair to keep
from any man except this curled one
I took from just behind your ear - that done
with unexpected passion, near to sleep.
So drowsy-eyed,our hearts brim-full and deep
with love and innocent desire won,
you could not tell me "no" - I had begun
to choose the perfect lock to cut and keep.
It was so long ago, still I recall
you shivered when my fingers brushed your skin.
Your eyes became as soft as twilight's fall,
you leaned into my breast to breathe me in.
And when I claimed the one prize of them all,
you offered up a kiss and smiled, "you win."
