Notes About The Poem

Heart of Gold

Heart of Gold

She camouflages her gold
vaulted in smiles 
shrouded in humor
glimmers of hope suspended
her armor is made to shield
arrows of affection deflected

Amour was histories last dance
only a pirate of captains rank
would understand this ancient map
splintered shovel may be rusted 
sea salt takes its toll
every pirate seeks a treasure
and sails the world to know
where such gems may be buried
alas when you find good fortune
put your feet to land
traverse fields of flowers
and give that gal your hand

Kiss her tenderness, buried beneath
lofty passions 
after a heart so pure
treasures to beholden
love often interred far en deep

Some ladies do erect armor walls to prevent them from sharing love. All too often, this comes from hurtful experiences in the past and the need to protect themselves. A thought-provoking poem, Arthur! Hugs, Carolyn

I read those first two lines as: "She camouflages her gold vaulted in SIMILES" which is actually very good, and very enigmatic :) Love your poem, Art.
