Notes About The Poem

She Held My Heart

She Held My Heart
Poetic expression by JC Hawkens

On a Crisp Autumn day
I met an Angel of such gentle Grace
The warmth of her smile
The soothing of her voice
The melting of my heart

And within that faithful day
She listened to my sad story
And she Judged me not
She replied not in sympathy
But in truth she offered
Confessed her own troubles and doubts
She showed me that I was not alone

Mended my soul
Healed my splintered Heart
Shared a careful whisper
A soft touch

It is but only once in a thousand years
That one happens upon an Angel
And knows with a single smile
That this woman holds my Heart

If only I had the Courage to tell Her!!

Andrea Dietrich April 18, 2020 at 2:10 PM ahhh, what a marvelous first post you made here at Soup. I agree with John, this is so wisful and I love wistful poetry! Jc Hawkens April 18, 2020 at 3:48 PM The girl in the Poem is, My Lovely Fall Dream, from a couple of other poems I've written. Jc Hawkens April 18, 2020 at 3:39 PM Thank you Andrea your words and poems are a true inspiration.

John Watt April 18, 2020 at 11:33 AM JC, this is a wistful and beautiful first entry for you here at Poetry Soup. I have been too shy in the past to express my feelings in the moment, but have learned from my regrets to be more open and vulnerable and 'in the moment'. This poem touched my heart and is going into my faves to be enjoyed again and again. Blessings ~ John Jc Hawkens April 18, 2020 at 3:37 PM Thank you, I believe when I first posted this, I wrote at the top of the poem that it was a Poetic Expression because I didn't know if it was poetry at the time. Sandra Adams gave me a lot of encouragement. Writing Poetry was a total departure from anything I had ever done before. Your words are an encouragement to me. Bless you, my friend,

David Smith April 11, 2020 at 8:22 PM I am so glad you decided to write this as we need to spread the word that romance is still alive and one person's failure can spur another on and the prize is as near as one gets to heaven in this life for those who reach out and see themselves as worthy of it. Hope you keep safe at this time and have many more gems to share with us. Best regards David in NZ Jc Hawkens April 13, 2020 at 3:51 AM Thank you for taking the time to read my poem. And for these Beautiful comments. If more people only listened to there hearts what a wonderful world this would be. Stay safe JC Hawkens

Paul Callus April 5, 2020 at 11:35 AM That definitely was a case of love at first sight, JC. Probably it applied to you and to her...two angels who shared a lot, except their love. Regards // paul Jc Hawkens April 11, 2020 at 3:54 PM There was love between us, but for reasons, not of the heart, I chose a different path. But I feel that things happen for a reason. As I fondly look back, I now realize that I should listen to my heart more. And to this I found Poetry and I am letting my heart sing. Thank you Paul, for your beautiful words my friend. Stay safe, and I hope all is well. JC Hawkens

David Smith April 1, 2020 at 7:12 PM A truely timeless piece which would pass muster in centuries past and future. Hope you are finding soup to your liking as it will be staple if lockdown continues for a while. Keep posting new recipes. Don't fancy soy soup though. Our garden is overflowing with silver beet and spring onion and pumpkins coming along nicely. Hope you are not locked down in claustrophobic space. Best regards David in NZ Jc Hawkens April 11, 2020 at 3:42 PM You, my friend, are far too kind. But I humbly thank you for this gracious comment and the warm welcome. Thank you. And many blessings to you and your beautiful garden. Stay safe and well, my friend. JC Hawkens

SuZ Jc Hawkens November 22, 2019 at 6:15 PM This is true... It is the fuel that feeds our souls. In both writing and reading. Thank you for the comment and the advice. ps. She knows. and she is the inspiration that brings out the Poet in me.

Sandra Adams November 17, 2019 at 8:41 PM i believe we all meet angels along life's path...they are there to pick us up when we are down, i hope you find the courage you need to let your angel know... good write! :) Jc Hawkens November 18, 2019 at 6:30 AM I did 35 years later. Now that I think back. I penned a poem titled Insomnia's Dream 35 years ago. After I had met her. I didn't write anything else till recently. We met again at a friend's wedding. I let her know how I felt all those years ago.(She was love at first sight.) We had lost touch and slowly we are reconnecting. It would appear she is also my muse. Thank you for the comment.
