Oven of My Heart

by Michael J Falotico I had a dream when I couldn't sleep.. I chased away tears when I couldn't weep.. Released balloons that stayed in my sight.. And watched them flutter in air with no height.. I swept up letters that fell from my hands.. Planted them in my mind where words now land.. Gravity pulls out my thoughts and desires.. In the oven of my heart that still burns fires..

Great couplets here, Michael. Powerful images that stretch the imagination. I love it! Shel Silverstein wrote a little bit like this in some of his poetry. Of course he is now in heaven but one of my favorites still! Much enjoyed! Gwendolen

Yup, sometimes this is the only way to express ourselves. When talk is not an option. Great package you got here, Michael. :)

That is the best place for them to come from.. Okay that is just my silly opinion.. Just for the record Nikko forced me to come back to the Soup lol.. Stunning piece of poetry and thought provoking as well.. Love W

Your title sure caught my eye! What a very intriguing way of putting it, Michael (and I was thinking chocolate chip cookies, lol) -- Really liked how this flowed, not only the words but the thoughts as well, of the ironies you put in here, too... really enjoyed this piece :) hugs your way!
