My Heart Is a Pen

My heart is a pen 
and i can write with it
 from the moment we met 
and even more
 it's been writing 
from the moment of truth... 
the ink is been flowing
more in a rush than usual

I heard you 
i understood
i loved the feel 
but feared the end
i see the fire in your eyes
and i know its real
i wish it was not
but i love that it is
i sigh
i muzzle 
i wonder

i want to run 
i want to stay
 i hope i won't
 because i know that if i stay
 i may not stand 
and yet i know 
i need the strength
 for the promise i have made
 with the pen of my heart

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

I like the pen's ink and the heart connection to writing. I know what you mean I write constantly too. I majored in English and Creative Writing in college. I write most of the time. I love my obsession with writing so...keep writing!

I wish I could share the stories in my heart as well as you do but the pen of my heart may not be as good as yours. Good poem
