The Heart Speaks

this is my dialect and it is yours to it is the dialect of a poet form the child who scraped his knee to the lovers who knows they don't have to keep the light on from the painter and there brush to the singer singing there song from the hardened criminal to there most cherished love from all of the musicians with there instruments in hand this is my dialect it is the dialect of a poet a true poet speaks from the heart (i know this isn't in and abnormal way of speaking. so i hope it still qualifies.)

I think it possible to make this work as a topic for the contest Writen from the point of view of the romantic heart....beating in a cadence few can hear...for the listen not closely, I pound; In perpetuity I pound, Relently I slow with sorrows ache or race with the light of suset and the nearness of your lips. Aging I stutter, causing fluttering eyes and fragile skinned hands to hold you, or life or love. With danger my pounding presence ignites, cascading fear to lunacy...just a thought..

John, this was a very creative and inspirational interpretation of the "dialect" contest. I certainly believe it qualifies and it is filled with lovely thoughts and an uplifting message. God Bless you for sharing it. Love it! Carolyn
