The Waltz Of A Bleeding Heart
I only wanted a love,
And to fall in love with you;
I’m closing the door,
Just one time more,
To leave you in the rear view.
I desired to be about you,
Not wanting to live without you;
You’re a woman, so pretty,
It’s no mystery;
I thought I had found you –

Within The Orchestra Of A Bleeding Heart
I hear violins playing
Oscillating in the auditorium
As the orchestra resounds
Behind the chambers of my heart
Bittersweet melodies plays aloud
I cannot escape -
That sweet summer rain
Which fills my heart
With such melodies of ballads
Shedding tears that reflects
I cannot escape.
Within the amphitheatre of the city,
I sang aloud lyrics of gloom and mourn
Behind the cages of my bleeding heart
I

My Bleeding Heart
bedazzled by jewels
beguiled by the gem of you~
diamond eternal
as fake gold duals
alloys mix unbanding two~
with flames infernal
tears drowning in pools
blinders tunnel, love eschews~
so notes my journal

The Bleeding Heart Plant
A bleeding heart
With a single drop
Falling from its sharpened point,
While strung on vines,
These fragile flowers,
Waiting for the rain's anoint.
Much like valentines
Swinging in the breeze
To a tribal drum unheard.
Hearts grown in a row
With fine curves and loops
By God's design is revered.

Delicate Demure Bleeding Heart
bleeding heart flower
dainty, demure, delicate
heart-shaped, my grandson points out.
he is the artistic child
she graces us with beauty during a short life span
leave her in the ground I tell everyone
like you would leave a heart in a chest.
uprooted, she will not thrive or survive.

Broken Bleeding Heart Cured
“I felt that I breathed an atmosphere of sorrow.” ? Edgar Allan Poe
My heart is shattered in sadness,
Like a jigsaw with missing pieces.
I know my soul is irrevocably lost.
Oh, how I envy those
who casually forgive and forget,
and pass to pastures new.
But I am not like that.
I cannot eradicate my feeble feelings.

My Bleeding Heart

Bleeding Heart and Oozing Eyes
Maybe, that pyre is lighting up,
This demising dusk , so dark , so dry,
But , that pyre is cause of some,
Bleeding heart and oozing eyes!
Maybe, these winds are blowing away,
These ashes black and dark dirt,
But these blowing ashes are tearing some,
Oozing eyes and bleeding heart!
Oh , maybe a sudden death, gloom us,
But , everyone in

Bleeding Hearts
~~~
Scarlet life soaks the powerful scene
In melancholy whispers of praise
Spoken in a prayer to God’s ear
As bleeding hearts weep shyly always
~
Vibrant cherry meets the silence
Blending with tears of pleasure
Hope thickened moments spent in
Reflections of hearts we treasure
~
Blushing rose awakens the spirit
To inspiration that is almost haunting
Coloring the thoughts in hues of
Compassion poured out oh,

Bleeding Heart
She is wearing fuchsia, he told me.
It was easy to see her now.
No wonder he was smitten.
She had a confidence that uplifted the garden.
The other flowers paled in comparison.
I am shy, he told me. I cannot do this!
You are a bee, I said sternly. She is expecting you.
He made a couple of attempts to sidle

Beating Bleeding Heart-
bub-blub tump-tump-tump-tump
I was bitten by my wrong choices;
Invited and enticed by my voices;
The ineptitude seemed happy portraying, beating heart
In there stepped desperate loneliness, bleeding heartbeats
Of unfortunates that are decaying
chess rising WAIT this isn't NO game
My breath is wet; I'm drowning in shame
Lungs full of sin watering
Yet I'm breathing;
Still is neighing, still

Little Did She Know
It was unusually dark and calm,
She could feel the chillness of the breeze,
But her heart knew that this wind might unfold to her something which would not be as sweet as she thinks;
Little did she know that someone was dying on the other side,
Little did she know that it was her own little brother who

Bleeding Heart
My heart is bleeding
And I wish you could see
The pain and sadness
You have inflicted on me
I have given my all
Everything that I am
But you clearly don't see
Or just don't give a damn
You feel I'm obligated
That it’s my duty to stay
To try and make you happy
In some sick and twisted way
Uncaring and condescending
Your words cut to
