Heart Wins

When it is time to silver sleep I find if he isn't next to me I get a little less pink peace And chose a little anxiety I say chose because instead Of dreaming he is in my blue bed I fret and pout within my hazel head Knowing it's a sin as we've not wed But I will pray for enlightenment And one day I will not emerald sin But tonight my maroon heart wins Though alone love deep within.

Love the way you used colors in your poem. I am an advocate of being open. Just know, this is a double edged sword here. Poets can turn on you in an instant. Those that once were your friends, disappear? In my experience, they do.. unless you keep kissing their feet. And some? Honestly, are liars, I don’t understand it. Online relationships are not real for the most part.love, Pangie

I appreciate your comment and have had only one poet openly sort of condemn my point of view. Lol. I just thank them for reading and asset they are allowed a view just as I am! We all fall short of glory so who is anyone to judge. I know my poetry opens me up to criticism because most of what I write is from experience and viewpoint. I do sometimes imagine. But those who judge anything need Jesus. For only he is sin free. Love your realness Pangie. Hugs

Karen you are a wonderful person as you open up your heart .to us . An awesome write. From 'I say chose .............. we've not wed'. and then again 'But tonight ....... love deep within'. When one is deeply in love and both partners committed to each other, there is no sin, you will feel it in your heart , a very sweet poem my friend Karen. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Jennifer thank you for your tender words and understanding. I sometimes feel as if I reveal too much. But I don't know any other way to be me. Hugs and blessings to you too Jennifer. :0)
