What Font Type the Heart

Listen to poem:

Who was it that first said..  
'the eyes are the window to the soul'..
who's eyes did they envision..
and how did they know?

And what of sweet wetted fingers that comb..
to straighten this messed heart cowlick I own.

Few well paired wanderlust seek a divine pardon..
still fancy the folly of youth's far flung travels.
Two trespass meadow lost to petal lined garden,
til intimacy's last mystery unravels.

Darting dawn awakes to write upon love's torn page.. 
parting drawn in true type font in spite of heart's age.

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 10/7/2020 9:03:00 AM Poetry is wonderful, we can use it as a medium to convey our feelings and poetic licence allows us to fantasize as much as we want to. This poem is magical and your 2nd and last couplets are breathtaking - also love 'til intimacy's last mystery unravels' .................in spite of hearts age' - does the heart ever grow old? Your music is perfect for this poem. Beautiful Richard, Hugs and blessings Jennifer. Login to Reply
