Conversation With My Heart

Heart fervently pounding, old man beware The message it sends, it's warning declared Walk lightly my friend, I'm battered and bruised Remember that feeling of being subdued Play and have fun, day and night Reinforce the wall, with all of your might If that protective wall should crack and break Surely there will be, more heartache "Thanks for the warning, I hear what you say When I think of the pain, love stay away I'd like to go forward. see where it leads This one is different, just one more chance please Maybe this piece, you haven't mended yet If I give it away, will I live to regret Perhaps she'll take it and put it with hers Be tender and caring, give the love it deserves Oh languishing heart, just please keep beating Let's enjoy it now and pretend love's not fleeting" What are you thinking? Have you lost your mind? The love that you're seeking, you'll never find Love takes what it can,then walks out the door Leaves us in pain, curled up on the floor Don't give me away, just try to be friends It won't be so painful, when it comes to an end You think you're ready to start over now If you hurt me again, I'll get even some how An original poem by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner

A very excellently written poem, a discourse between heart and lover, graced by true and real-life lessons. "The heart always goes where the mind refuses to follow." (My quote) Enjoyed reading this Daniel, I can relate :-) ****Cynthia

Thank you, nette. It is an old poem I wrote about two years ago. I was trying to make a decision looking at both sides, being objective, Sometimes we make decisions without weighing the consequences and this was what was on my mind. I appreciate you kind words and your visits,You always make me smile:)
