Melting Your Frozen Heart

Melting your frozen heart.


Why do you refuse to feel my love?

Why has your heart grown cold?

It´s so cold it is frozen solid, 

beating ever so slowly,

for no one.

A warm smile, a calid embrace, 

a compassionate understanding

heart beating for you

right beside you

only for you

here forever 

trying to jump start

your

frozen heart 

with the electrical 

spark of my love.


Have you been abandoned

and hurt so much that

you feel too unworthy to  be loved?


Why do you not feel my warmth

as I try to ease your pain?


Your gelid coldness will turn

your frozen heart 

into perma frost...

if you don´t 

allow yourself to feel

my warmth

there will be a cost.


A price to pay that is far to high...

for a heart 

that remains cool

to anothers love

will stay frozen 

and will 

slowly 

die.


A frozen heart 

can melt 

but it takes time...

to feel love again 

can be so surreal

ever so sublime.

Open to me my love...

feel what I feel

with tenderness

kindness and patience

true love is revealed

Open your heart... 

let it feel my love´s fire

even from a distance

you can feel the warmth

your heart can melt and 

beat with mine

beating as one...together 

till the end of time.

I remember reading this one, JD. I was even the first to comment on it. You'll not win a debate with me over which of us wrote the preferred words with this theme. Let's just shake hands and say it's a tie. ;-)

This is truly beautiful, John. I can relate to these feelings and to her fear of opening the heart and letting love in... And I see from your comments below that she has had a change of heart :)

This is a very romantic plea, and would be hard to ignore. Nicely done, John.
