Untamed Heart
Movie: Untamed Heart
"AN UNTAMED HEART HAPPENED TO BE
MY BELOVED'S WEAKNESS"
A first date is so full of lingering whispers and sweet romances,
AN UNTAMED HEART can beat faster given many wonderful chances-
He held my hand gently as we shared silly nervous glances,
to think it all started being in the same high school classes.
We saw a moving picture of a young ill man with a heart condition,
it was no coincidence that this story HAPPENED to be non-fiction-
See, this man I was falling in love was diagnosed by his pediatrician,
since a young boy he suffered from leukemia but now he’s in remission.
When I heard the news that same night sitting at the down town bistro,
my heart broke in a million pieces and at first I wanted TO quickly go-
But my intuition remained at peace as I listened and went with the flow,
for I realized my soul had been connected to this man I longed to know.
With our hearts untamed we had uncontrollable desirous nights,
passion beyond comprehension noticing each other’s magnificent sights-
I thirsted for his touch and we craved to reach all the fervent heights,
he needed me to walk down the aisle, and BE his kindle to ignite.
Remission can only last so long and I knew the day would arrive,
when MY BELOVED'S health would decline and he would not survive-
The end of his life was spent in a hospital bed when he was only thirty-five,
the blue line went flat and his debilitated heart they could not revive.
I stayed and held his hand and laid my head upon his warm chest,
it was tamed with WEAKNESS as my heart was still full of zest-
Little did I know at sixteen this heartbreak would be my greatest test,
I took a sigh of relief, for my beloved’s heart was finally at peaceful rest.
