Sherese Gooden Poet Free verse

Somewhere In My Heart

There is a spark of something
That just won’t go away
That lingers, waiting for that spark.
And I just know I’ll go crazy as a lark,
(Even now I sound silly, don’t I?)
And perch on the highest limb
Singing melodies so sweet
The world will smile with me,
(Did I say smile?)
I mean, the world will sing along with me
When it comes.

Somewhere in my heart there is a space
Big enough to hold someone.
(Can that be really true?)
A hole that will not let me be whole -
Somewhere in my heart lark’s
A silly song waiting to fly
(Did I really say that?)
Somewhere in my heart lurks 
A merry song,
That only a duo can sing
That means you and me.

Somewhere in my heart there 
Is a spark that just won’t go away

Gary Bateman July 27, 2020 at 5:15 PM Hello Sherese, Very Well-Done!! By the essence of your grand poem here, you've become the "Keeper of the Spark." Keep writing and having fun with it, which is so important for poetry. And thanks also, for your recent comment on my "Ars Poetica" selection. (My second book of poetry, under the title of "Reflections in the Mirror," will be hopefully published and released to the public by this Autumn.) I look forward to reading more of your fine poetry. Cheers and Best Wishes, Gary Sherese Gooden August 20, 2020 at 8:14 PM Thank you, Gary. Will certainly watch out fr you poems. Sherese
