Heartache

A heart is still;
no pulse,
just a glimmer 
of passion
which quivers,
longing for a spark
to rekindle the heart
so it may beat 
in rhythm
once again.

Ahhh! Ana...so this must be the saddened heart that later on during sleep found joy again with the return of love's passion! Short, but lovely! #7 // paul
