I Am Heart Whisperer

Alone I lay here in my room
swallowed by the night.
The quiet whispers in my ears
and says it's time to write.

A broken heart calls out somewhere,
somehow I hear their cries.
Another soul fell victim to
another lovers lies.

I feel the anguish in the wind
my face turned toward the wall.
I try to block it out again
but still I hear the call.

Of broken dreams and promises
that someone didn't keep.
I beg the night not me, not now
I need to get some sleep.

Relentlessly it pulls at me
until I rise once more.
I turn to face the broken hearts
all lined up at my door.

I tell them it will be okay,
I listen one by one.
Trying to comfort each of them
before the night is done.

How this ever came to be
there's no way I can be sure.
All I know it comes to me,
I am Heart Whisperer.

Edwin, I am beginning to like you and like you a lot... I like rhyme, and you're very good at it. You have a very soft soul. To me you have brought the fragrance, yet your perfume is still hidden.... I'll read more.. Cheers

I believe we all do Viv. To me it's the nature of poetry. Speaking sometimes for those who are trying to find the words and even the courage to say the things we say. God bless brother. Hope your New Year is going great!

Hearts will keep on breaking, but its nice to find the comfort of a friend, through a whisper, and each word, Definitely helps with the healing and for deep cuts to stop bleeding. Lovely poem Heart Whisperer.
