K is for Key

I love keys. So it is no wonder that is the 'K' word I gravitated to today.

The Key's Mystery

The key itself is simple

rusted iron on woven cord

without its lock

it is nothing

It may open a chest

left hidden by pirates

or unlock a gate

to an alien world

Perhaps it locks

a mermaid's diary

or the chains that bind

a wolf at full moon

It could be the key

to a dungeon cell

or the way to unlock

a damsel's heart

Most likely it matched

a plain house door

but until the lock is found

it holds everything to me
