On Journeys of the Heart

On Journeys Of The Heart


Lost and wandering in the dark
Bereft of any map or mark
Futile efforts fail at embark
On journeys of the heart.

Vain travailings silent, unheard
Are bound beneath unspoken words
Repressing what could still be stirred
On journeys of the heart.

Still faint intrepid thoughts unfurl
Mangled within a broken world
Pacing relentless in this pearl
On journeys of the heart.

writing end rhyme is very hard for me without it getting sing songy. But your refrain has taken most of that away. I would say this is about as good a balance as i have seen for rhyme yet subdueing it to an acceptable level. I think I will try a few like this if I can come up with some good theme. thank you for postisng
