Heart Intact

I’ll walk away with heart intact No need with blood to sign this pact When pain abounds, I need to act I will survive, now that’s a fact! No use for love, oh, can’t you see? Much happier, I'm sure to be Heart strings I've snipped, now I am free To touch the dreams that live in me I will not be a love sick fool To be abused and treated cruel When deep inside, there shines a jewel I’ll bring my heart back under rule Love shifts so much like desert sand Can’t be confined in heart or hand I need a rock on which to stand So from my heart, this love is banned YES! From my heart your love is BANNED! Eileen Manassian Ghali

My Muse is always with me, playful and testing...forgetting you is not an option woman, you are the pulse in my passion. I will have something new and savory for you to feel Friday night, after midnight Beloved Poetess...Justin

A heart intact need not overreact to the fact that freedom born from love is twice as sweet as liberty through lonely struggle. The jewel in you shaped smooth and stout from courage calm, inner glow pretty as diamond snow. The message of independence, not from love but from misuse is one I have lived as well. I love the powerful way you express your resolve, and the rhyming is tight Eileen...J.A.B.

A tender heart, no matter how much it is hurt, still tender and loving will remain! I feel your pain and anger and disappointment even I sense your determination to obliterate his love, BUT you cannot obliterate love from your heart because you are synonymous of love! Your poem beautiful your suffering unbearable your love though infinite!

Remove the clutter...expand your heartbeats. No more sweeping the specks of dust under the rug...throw the damn rug in the trash and walk again. For good.
