My Irreverent Heart

My heart is like the Willow that Bends but never brakes it's size when summer jilts her, it sings When April wakes. So who you come a smiling with summer in your eyes, think not your beguiling should take me by surprise. My heart's prepared for aching the moment you take wing, but not my friend for breaking while there's another spring. So share my summer pillow, don't spare My Autumn aches, for my heart is like the Willow that bends but never breaks.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome 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."

Thank you. My words are the only way to release the pain and stress in my life. My goal is that one day someone will read it and not have to experience the things I have.
