Harbors of My Heart

My heart is a harbor
For pain and despair
Everyday I grasp for a moments peace - it teases but never really there

My heart is a harbor
For affliction to the highest degree
Both my mind and heart - will someday rejoice being free of me

My heart is a harbor
That clings to misery of the present and times past
My image is at the worlds mercy - how long will this last

My heart is a harbor
For dreams no longer alive
Days of hopelessness staring at me - wondering how will I survive

My heart is a harbor
With torment waiting it's turn
Only to feel numb I do sorely yearn

My heart is a harbor
Waiting for destiny's final chapter
It's only then - the future will no longer be my captor

Hi Beata, thanks for the kind words and scripture. I consider myself to be blessed and fortunate to have a good life (you wouldn't know it from my poetry lol). Of course like everyone, I have those days that are not as blissful and those are the days I like to write about. (Warning) My writing can be a bit extreme and should never be taken literally. I know it's not very inspirational but it's relatable for some. BTW, my favorite scripture is James 1:12. Again, thank you for the kind words and stay blessed. : )
