A Desperate Hearts Words

A desperate heart’s words 
abandoned and floating

Like falling leaves delicately embraced 
and suddenly carried away 
on a warm summer breeze

Whirling and drifting 
with confusing excitement, 
torturous expectations 
and blissful discourse

Playfully escaping their meaningless desires 
and emotional emptiness
 
Enjoying the turbulent caress of the breeze 
but not wanting to believe 
its promise of warmth and commitment

For these words were only to be spoken 
and never heard
