True Love

On the ground 
laid his heart 
like a rock. 

No one knew 
the reason 
why it's stiff. 

But one soul 
has tamed it 
like a sheep.

Sad that by his taming, he lost his true self. His taming should have brought out the best and help the worst disappear. Thank you for your participation in my contest. I enjoyed reading your entry. Very creative way to go. Sara

Thank you very much... I guess it's true love when a heart of stone changes completely to become obedient to someone...
