Anyone Who Had a Heart

And anyone who had a heart
could see the blue in cloudless eyes,
though a storm trespass and tears leak
dreadfully down my caring cheeks.

Once upon a time, he loved me,
and anyone who had a heart
can see his tenderness awaits
if...I can just...hold onto fate.

The black and blue of Xanadu,
crushing of rapturous roses.
And anyone who had a heart
can see the lyrics left by you.

His arms widen my countenance.
I gallop in pastoral dreams.
Rose-colored glasses, recount love,
and anyone who had a heart.

Your writing is waking me up this morning. I like this style; do not think I have ever tried it. Looks hard for me, for you easy.

Thanks, Caren! Every so often I try a formal style! :)
