Message To My Heart

Oh heart, your voice I will no longer heed You clamor in your need for love fulfilled You crave my blood, and so for you I bleed I wait the moment when your beat is stilled Your chambers cherish dreams of one sublime A beating requiem of love denied Erratic rhythm testament to time When in his hands your love was well confined Now, hear my plea, and listen to my voice He will not hear your rapid dying sigh You must move on, to you is left no choice Or else, be still, and find the will to die Dear heart, dare not to take another breath Unless you vow to seal his love in death Eileen

Wow is right!! -- OK, if the heart won't listen we could go to plan B -- what is plan B? Glad you asked -- it's drastic but I have seen it work - kinda; heart transplant!! sorry for the goofiness, I did think your poem was awesome my dear little one. 7 for me!

A beautiful but sad romantic write. Served well in the form of a sonnet.

Thanks, my dear. I have the silliest, stupidest, most obstinate heart in the world. It just won't listen to reason....though it bleeds and gets me into trouble....all for some ideal that doesn't exist. Oh well....thanks for the visit, my dear. Hugs
