Notes About The Poem

- Heart Truth -

Threatening predators have a nose for fear
Frantic anxiety, mixes with your own body scent
The sick anxiety that can paralyze
glue yourself in a viscous oil sludge
In this suffocating fragrance 
the fireflies dance in the dark
as flash of lightning

Are you sleeping ?
I was somewhere there
Dreams play a many different experience
This dreams that bent me to my knees this night,
was blown away underneath a moonlit cloud

I am on a journey through ever deeper layers in my heart
It requires courage and vulnerability
The wisdom of the heart helps us to navigate
Always let your heart show the true path
Believe it and you will see

A luminous beauty creeps up the hillside
Veiled dew drops, shines like diamonds
All I own are roses in my heart
A beautiful morning sun curved like a bird's wing

Imagine if we could say like the Roman poet Horace:

     "Come tomorrow's torments, come
             - It was today -  I lived! "

Sigrid Ermine August 6, 2020 at 3:33 PM I think you extrapolated Horace's striking warning and zeal into this poem brilliantly. So much agonising and exuberant language to express love's torturous desire. (with a lot of required optimism) Anne-Lise Andresen August 9, 2020 at 11:36 AM - Sigrid, thank you very much for your visit and your comment :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
