Best Heart Whole Poems
In the realm of your loving arms, I find my sanctuary,
A haven where the world's din and chaos flee,
I don't care about the whispers of the crowd,
For with you, my love, my heart is proud.
As long as you love me, babe, I'm free,
Everything else is but a story, lost in the sea,
Of your tender touch, your gentle care,
All else disappears, and I'm left with you, bare.
It's not the gold that shines, nor the hue of your skin,
Nor the attire that adorns you, my love within,
It's the way you make me feel, the warmth of your heart,
That draws me in, and never lets me part.
With you, I'm home, in every sense of the word,
A place where love resides, and my soul is stirred,
I don't care what others say, or the path we may take,
As long as I'm with you, our love will never break.
Even in the lion's den, or the darkest of pits,
With you by my side, I'd brave the fiercest of hits,
Under the bridge, or in the stormy night,
With you, my love, I'd find the light.
All I want is to be your man, to stand by your side,
To hold your hand, and ride life's tide,
You're everything I've ever needed, my guiding star,
The secret I hide, the passion that's near and far.
Even if the world goes against me, I'd face the test,
Knowing you're there, my love, I'd find my best,
In your eyes, my heart finds a home,
With you, my love, I am never alone.
You're the melody that soothes my soul,
The rhythm that makes my heart whole,
You're the missing piece that makes me complete,
With you, my love, my heart skips a beat.

I recognize the subtleties of love
its reality
is easy to see.
An emotional gift sent from above
to both the frightened
and the enlightened.
I understand the desire for passion's flame
and sense how disappointment can turn to blame.
But I feel there is more.
My heart starts pounding like a thoroughbred
when I am with you
for your love is true.
And when I feel loved, my smile starts to spread
sharing sweaty palms
without any qualms.
Love is such an indescribable feeling
I bounce head over heels, from floor to ceiling.
But I feel there is more.
Love titillates my heart and smooths my soul,
and I understand
why it feels so grand.
You're the missing piece that made my heart whole
We're but flesh and bone
scared to be alone.
Love lets lonely hearts visualize heaven
gambling that fate will roll either a seven
or beat the odds with a winning eleven.
But I feel there is more
to love than keeping score!

Rhyme
I have dreams and high hopes for the coming new year.
Many aspirations that I must achieve with true ease.
When this year ends and all the madness does cease
I shall bring forth good will without dread nor fear.
O, I shall fall to my knees and love without displease.
Can I be the one to make a difference?
May I take away all life’s sufferance.
My house has needed much improved alteration.
I should paint rooms here and there without complaint.
I know I would enjoy my living space if acquaint
with my new furnishings of my own creative creation.
I shall show myself I can be handy without restraint.
Can I be the one to transform the earth?
May I show myself my treasured worth.
I pray I can take time just for me to write poetry
more often so I can feel the comfort I used to feel.
For writing has always been the only way I heal,
I can only save myself from disdain and misery.
O, I must show my mind my gifts can be ideal.
Can I be the one to express my soul?
May I try my best to fill my heart whole.
I shall begin to bestow kindness more unto family
so that they can understand how I feel so abate.
May I love without hate and genuine joy create,
showing how much I appreciate unconditionally.
O, in multitude of faith and joy may I saturate.
Can I be the one who shows I can be me?
May I show God just how beautiful I can be.

Lyric
Shall I compare thee to a rose
And pluck thy petals as my heart desires
While in sweetness thy fragrance grows
Love, like rain doth thou require
My love, this bouquet I send to thee
To be with thee is all I dream
My heart doth rise and fall like waves upon the sea
The beauty of thine essence is highly esteemed
No more be thou uncertain of my love
Thine eyes doth soothe my very soul
My love for thee is higher than the stars above
Doth thou desire to make my lonely heart whole
Thy beauty, like a precious gem, doth shine
I beseech thee, wilst thou be my valentine

I remember when you were sixteen
So young and full of life
You were brave and accepted any dare
You took all burdens and strife
Then you met a girl of your dreams
You said she took your breath away
Your bond seemed indestructible
Pure joy written in your face
Then one day an illness claimed her life
But with it she took your soul
And every attempt to console your grief
Couldnt make your broken heart whole
You secluded yourself from others
Spent hours alone up in your room
We all thought you would heal in time
But were blind to the impending doom
Your Mom came to wake you for school
But when she knocked there was no reply
That day will haunt me forever
When I heard heard her horrific cries.
I dashed in a panic to the bedroom
Found you cradled in your Mothers arms
Your body limp with lifeless eyes
Your last memory caused such harm
Four days later our family gathered
To lay your tattered soul to rest
Tears flowed out like a raging river
It shows the broken hearts you left
So parents heed this warning
Dont take for granted your childrens tears
Do whatever it takes to help them through
Dont let suicide claim what you hold dear.

Your failure, thought by your ear
Words of another, your dread spread
My shoulder, never not yours
Reconciliation; your voice heard.
A misery, my own doing
My recoil, accepting the proximity
Sorrow, the feeling behind my joy
The pain untold, but written in silence.
As your tears I feared; your side I embraced
A seat you offered, an honor remembered
Conversation alive again, its fragility accommodated
Your speech to me, always a pleasure.
My smile true; my heart whole
Another day for some; a renewed dawn for me.

Your melody whispers, "Stay,"
Grazing me all the way deep to my depths' deep,
Breathing closely, closer into my blues, a clever wheeze.
Like a callow breeze, I feel it deeper in my soul,
Caressing my heart in every part, making me whole.
O, please, will you be my Kazungula bridge, so strong and true?
Will you be there for me when I need you, through and through?
When I need to feel you to the inner deepness, like Mambo's reggae strings,
That bit to my inner deepness, disputing my choice of wings.
Will you be my Seboba water rapids, rushing wild and free?
To hold me well-held in devious holders, undreamt of, yet to be.
In your gentle touch, I find my peaceful nest,
A refuge from life's turmoil, where love is at its best.
Your melody, a balm, soothes my troubled mind,
A symphony of love, that forever will be aligned.
Like a river's flow, your love will never cease,
A constant presence, that brings me to my knees.
In your embrace, I find my home, my heart's desire,
A love that's pure and true, that sets my soul on fire.
So, will you be my Kazungula bridge, my guiding light?
Will you be there for me, through the dark of night?
When I need to feel you, to the inner deepness of my soul,
Will you be my Seboba water rapids, making my heart whole?

If I knock repeatedly on your heart's door,
Would you unlock it for me?
Is there enough room for both of us?
Suppose I ring the bell, or plead,
Would you grant me an invitation tonight,
Or keep me locked out in the cold?
Would you let me stay in your heart
Forever and a day? Is it a cozy home?
Would you kindly give me a spare key?
Would you let me sneak in
And make your heart whole,
If I promise I'm yours for keeps?

Verse
"horses horses horses"
happy am I, come look and see
on top of the world being free
ready are they, ready am I
soaring through wind under blue skies
enchantment fills my soul
songs enter my heart whole
horses horses horses is the word
only they will do
roses may be red
sun and moon may light
earth a place where life resides
such is the same of this gentle soul
happy the horse, come witness pageantry
once is enough to be butterfly free
ready am I, ready are they
spirited is a horse and rider bouquet
enchantment shall always be and won
surging long after the ride is done

note
for the love of horses of course
may this day find you all well
thank you

Only you will know how to make my heart whole
Only you will know the spot just beneath my earlobe
I surrendered to you time and again
Yet only to you will I do it once again
Sultry sounds emanate from your each parched word
Making sweet memories so completely in accord
Your lips brush past mine and cause me to quiver
Your hot breath on my nape makes me shiver
Only to you do I submit only to you do I respond
Only to you do I vent my untamed wants
Your very smile causes me to blush
Your sweet words taunts my crush
Only you will know how to make my heart whole
Only you can tap into my heartfilled soul

The Way I Feel
The way I feel when I'm with you,
Is more than words can say
My love for you grows stronger each and everyday.
If I were to lose you I wouldn't know where to begin.
To put myself back together
And make my heart whole again
The way I feel when I'm with you
No one could ever take.
My love for you grows stronger
It will never break.
So now you know the story
It is a glimpse of my glory
For feeling the way I feel.

I open my eyes within your mind
Trying to see your world as you do
Yearning
Searching
Seeing
Hoping to find our self from within…
You
Us
Now
There we are within an image
projected upon the haze of our desire;
A rolling mist at the base of the falls.
Where our living waters strike the rocks of Now's death
Defiant waters daring to rise again
To live again
To love again
To be…
Not alone
Without
Beyond!
I see us there within the hopeful cloud
Dancing as if the melody of our passion
May end at any moment.
Pressing against us, we strive to be one
To talk
To laugh
To live through and within the eternity between us.
We dance in the light of day.
Scattering the spectra of our togetherness
Defiantly
Fervently
Completely
In the fleeting rainbows of our hunger
I cherish this view of the Now
This dance
This wonderful edifying embrace
Tandem
Journey
May we forever see the glory of our soul
Dancing fluidly
Freely, in step with the subtle rhythm of Now.
To a tune that cannot end.
Whisper in my ear, Dear One.
Tell me the tale of who you are
Really
Safely
Joyfully
Listen to who I am in the story of my own rushing waters
Deep
Warm
Alive
That we may find comfort in the turbulence of our union.
Don’t tell me how amazing we will be … someday
Somehow
Maybe
Show me that you can love right now.
That you can be content
Complete
Transcendent
In this instant and again in the next
Next
Next …
Take me to the places, the hidden places that stir you to dance.
The places where you move without restraint
Inhibition
Ego
Where you have no fear of being interrupted by the clumsy feet of others.
I will take you to the places, the magic places that spin me like a dervish upon the earth.
Blindly
Buoyantly
Wantonly
Making our heart whole as our body language screams through the high walls of our sanctuary…
Again
Again
Again
Shall we dance?

The sun shines down on brown embrace,
My skin of white to interlace.
From east does come, a dawn, a gift
Of life and love, so not to miss.
Touching face it gently turns
Toward that place for which I yearn,
See forest green, a flower’s face,
The dark gives way for life to wake.
A misty mountain calls to me,
One heart to heart as lovers be,
I smile and nod, not knowing yet,
Of what it speaks, my mind so set.
But Body hears, and heals heart whole,
It slips betwixt the mind and soul.
The birds take flight and wheel around,
Lizards scamper, across the ground.
The wind speaks through a rustled leaf,
A dance with light paints gold relief,
My dog lifts head and takes a bound,
Among tall trees, without a sound.
The stream gives voice, a path you see,
Where spirits walk down to the sea.
Awash with life I stand so still,
And lift my head to sup my fill.
Embraced by this I share my heart
With village deep the place to start,
And sing one note so pure and clear,
To mountain top, to Spirit Deer,
To valley low where rice field grow,
To fern to palm now peace I know.
I turn around to west now east,
A new life found on karma’s keep.

I yearn to tell you what I know
But I am lost to find the perfect way,
So come and view the truths I'll show.
You'll see beyond our concept of today.
Talk to the homeless on the street,
Some are happy and the rest are mad.
You can give and praise and wash their feet.
Still, only some are thankful for what they've had.
Rich are the gracious, even without much.
They will prosper and are filled with love,
Joy, kindness, and the divine touch.
The true gifts from up above.
Come see this mother with her young one.
She will love, nurture, and be ever fair.
Still he rebels, thinking that he's won.
She struggles because the father is never there.
She thinks he's to blame and this may be true,
But not in the entirety of her life.
She needs strength, to endure what he's put them through.
To erase her and her son's stagnant strife.
Now we see this smiling, young, and clever man.
Looking for love and settles too soon.
Always devising his brand new plan
To get a girl and make her swoon.
Now he is not selfish, he is just alone.
Never looking to hurt a soul.
I just hope he is soon shown
A way to make his saddened heart whole.
Now lets move to physics, we've all heard
That every action returns and equal and opposite one.
That means if you recklessly abuse that bird,
Your prosperity has lessoned and the negatives have begun
Karma is what I like to call it,
God's punishment is what others say.
But labels are not what's most important.
There's nothing but kindness that matters today.
Do well towards all and good will come.
Even in not the most obvious ways.
This is what I've seen and what I've won;
My indebted lessons are what I'll continue to pay.
Don't let your words or actions be in vein.
Let yourself be completely whole.
You'll never deal with embarrassment or be shamed
And you're heart will never turn into coal.
Live in love. It's the only way!

with the four letters L O V E close to my heart
and my eyes closed with my mind open I say
