Like a string of smoke Slithering... Up and away from a raging flame As though a Phoenix is rising From the ashes My passionate heart Which beats for thee, and only thee Which is stubbornly tethered To every conceivable ounce of thy being Which holds thee with a vice-like grip Could grow cold, unprying suddenly No longer beating for thee If thy own heart isn't given Just as willingly JAN 2019 WK2,ANY FORM,ANY THEME UPTO A MAX OF 20 LINES Sponsored by Brian Strand (Winner: 1st Place) Date written and posted: 01/07/2019

This is a great poem, Edward. So true do it be, if one can not share their own heart with others, others may not share theirs with one.
