Raymond Emeka-Mbah Poet Lyric

Pleasures of the Heart

The Heart rues jarring shock 
The Heart palpitates in anxiety 
The Heart skips in emotion 
The Heart reels in passion. 

Soothing words gladden the Heart 
Joyful words enliven the Heart 
Jovial words bring laughter 
Pleasing words bring smiles. 

Laughter a desire of the Heart 
Happiness a feeling from the Heart 
Goodness the Heart craves 
Fulfillment the Heart yearns. 

Music food to the Soul 
Satisfaction tonic to the Mind 
Achievement esteem to the Body 
Care inalienable to the Heart. 

True Pleasures the Heart Really Covets

Michelle Mac Donald December 19, 2014 at 1:00 PM A winning write by you, Raymond! This piece certainly 'gladdens the heart'. The heart must love and need,all that you have said! Top it off with a smile, for a grimace will send you to Santa's naughty list. Keep well, stay happy! Mikki
