Joanna Daniel Poet Rhyme

Hearts At Odds

Hearts made of wax, sent through the mail 
Should help relax, instead I wail,
They will soon melt in time's hot hands,
Loneliness is felt midst life's strands;

Hearts made of glass shatter and fail
When griefs harass, they don't prevail,
What use are these hearts so feeble,
Poor pleas of perishing people?

Hearts made of stone are cold and fake,
Even Love will own - "Hard to break",
Will they be healed? How can I trust? 
Feelings concealed, what if they bust?

Hearts made of flesh and blood, I seek,
They won't crush my sentiments meek,
Understanding hearts of love - Now,
fear departs, before them I bow.

John Hamilton February 4, 2017 at 7:59 AM Thanks Jo for submitting this awesome rhyme, unfortunately my criteria is also the emotion evoked, and elevated vocabulary.
