Harry Horsman Poet Terzanelle

Cold Cold Heart

My lonely soul forever stirred
deeply within this pen, within this ink
Oh I will of words write of a love spurred.

I wish of stimulus, a heavenly link
words of which I beseech one to say
deeply within his pen, within this ink.

This flame here within my soul
perceived the congealed chill of your mind
that to condemn a virgin love, one you stole.

Many there is who tell of love so blind
yet I in your love was confused
perceived the congealed chill of your mind.

A one night stand for your amusement
innocence of one never before loved
your mission a life time assignment.

Alas like the wind that onward blows
my lonely soul forever stirred
one day you will reap what now sows
oh I will of words write of a love spurred.

Eileen Manassian May 15, 2013 at 4:45 PM Great poem, Harry. Love is never 100 percent guaranteed. Takes sacrifice, blood sweet and tears, but...there is so much beautiful as well! Who could live without it...Tying the knot can be a blessing as well

Vince Suzadail Jr. January 15, 2013 at 3:46 PM We need to be a fool now and then. We tied our knot in '66 and I'm sure there are times she'd like to tie another one (around my throat).
