Fragile Hearts

FRAGILE HEARTS DOUBLE ACROSTIC


F inally you appeared, right out of the blue
R andom chance that I would ever meet you
A fter all that we've been through
G od knew that our hearts were fragile too
I nstead of searching for love in vain
L ove has  brought us here together 
E ternal bliss supplants stormy weather

H appiness was found here in your smile
E verything you do, makes life worthwhile
A fter you, there could never be another
R ipples of you will go on forever
T rials and tribulations are in store, but
S ay you will stay with me forevermore

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

F allen victims of tragic love
R esurrected emotions, just to be
A nihilated  by deception again
G oes against my will, and common sense
I ntuition tells me not to trust again, then
L ove conquers all of my fears and
E ventually, you ease my pain

H appiness is transitory at best
E xcept when you find a love that is true
A ll you can do, is guard your fragile heart
R efuse to give it away, unless they are
T rustworthy of character, Divine
S o bring down your walls, and let love's light shine

Tim Smith Date: 9/26/2016 2:40:00 PM They are both good but the second seems more poetic and carries more power. In my opinion the first is too wordy.

CayCay Jennings Date: 9/25/2016 7:56:00 PM I want door #1, John. The content thoroughly resonates with me and my true love found after I'd given up. It touched me with every line in a most personal way. Also, I think the lines flow more smoothly and consistently. Love it ...
