This Crazy Heart of Mine

My heart a sky of sunny spells Of passing clouds and falling tears Sometimes it shines Sometimes it rains on our dried river and fading flames. Sometimes its still as a night could be At times it feels what it can't see ...and then it beats its rapid beat Inhaling yesterdays Breathing the breeze Sometimes an ocean in tides of blue where silver linings of hope flow through ...And the beginning and end is you. My heart a sky in shades of black a married widow mourning life's death Other times restless Mistress in bed A pure desire of a newly wed. My heart ...This heart... This crazy heart At times so strong as old oak trees At times so weak Down on its knees Farther than distance Slower than time Deeper than absence this heart of mine. Sometimes like cinnamon scenting so sweet Other times sour like rising yeast. My heart...a sky of crimson spells where all suns set in empty wells My heart a sky where moons will hide yet their last whispers your eyes will find It seeks to reach all lonely hearts and bliss them with soft blinking stars. My heart This heart This crazy heart which keeps on drumming its songs in rhyme No matter how I try to silence it It keeps on echoing a love sublime. My heart This heart This heart of mine It keeps on going to moments far It keeps on showing me different faces till I am back right where you are. My heart This heart This crazy heart keeps acting faster than my own mind. It is a clown playing all games on me This crazy heart This heart of mine.

it has a message and a flow. Now I try to consider what makes a woman choose. And looking at this her choices. Always ending with perfection.
