Notes About The Poem

About All The Great Poets Here Who All Write In Their Own Unique Style Who All Write From Their Hearts! I Love Their Poetry Just As It Is. Follow Your Hearts.

On a separate issue a word of encouragement for those in pain.
Whether psychological or physical remember this 
" Your scars define where you have been they do not
define where you are going"
You have to believe you will come out on the positive side
of your issues. Keep putting positive thoughts into the Universe.
Picture yourself in the best of all outcomes as often as you need 
to. I love you and I know many, many also do.

 

 

 

 

Listen to poem:

Always From the Heart

"Here is my secret. It is very simple: one sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes." "Le Petite Prince" Antoine De St. Exupery touch me and i'll touch you we don't do this on a whim measure twice cut once but always from the heart some use words rarely used in conversation let these wonderful poets tickle that market's fancy there are those knit you a scarf from yarns of clouds warm your day with a smile reflects the clean heat of a nineteen nineteen sun others who write you a poem you can share with a child visions painted in words cups of hot chocolate with those teeny weeny marshmallows children's grandiose proclamations of love with every sip for them the ambrosia of Gods confirmed by their laughter of joy you see hopscotch squares loosely drawn in chalk you see your daughter hear an echo for the first time some poetry does that conjures a thousand pictures of pure innocence also poetry that sings with rhymes that are natural, neatly placed in the story being told or sometimes the kind occasionally trips on the page love doesn't demand conditions sonnets neatly metered roll off the tongue or even if it twists a bit leaves you with a knot stick it out and laugh it straight easy as that we're here for each other people before words let's love each other just because we can touch me and i'll touch you we don't do this on a whim measure twice cut once but always from the heart Jan 14 2016 armand
