Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

Stagnant Heart

My mind is telling my feet
To take the first steps to change 
but with every step I take 
My heart lag behind
refusing to move
with silhouettes of you 
Replaying in my head
my heart beats faster 
yet stagnant...

Embracing everything that's you
from your smell, to your touch
your laughter and that silly grin…
Every inch so unique 
yet familiar, 
my heart beats faster 
yet stagnant... 

Focused on you, 
refusing to move,
refusing change…

Audrey Haick December 18, 2010 at 8:24 AM Dear Wilma, I'm sure we can all relate to this situation... not a comfortable one but you know the heart..that it can rule Romantics is true. I wish you well in every aspect of your life, my friend. As long as you're happy with yourself, don't change 'cause inside, you have to live with "you"! Beautiful piece of writing. Love, Audrey

Jay Del Fierro December 16, 2010 at 1:30 PM seems like,a tug of war of sorts,the soul yearns for more than what the heart can give or recieve...the allure of the world is a strong attraction to the heart,as peace of mind can be difficult to achieve....peace , jay

Carolyn Devonshire December 16, 2010 at 12:15 PM Don't know if this reflects personal experience, Wilma, but it seems that something is missing in this relationship. The physical attraction is surely there to quicken her heart, but she still feels like the relationship is stagnant - not going anywhere. Much to think about in this compelling poem! Love, Carolyn
