the child’s fate line split her palm
Deep and deliberate, it favored mystic crosses
the soothsayer had never seen such a palm
she had heard of the possibility, though
she looked into the child’s eyes
they were innocent, light blue, trusting
you will make a difference in the world, she told the child
what will I do? the child asked
You will follow your heart she told her.
She patted her hand, because she could not resist.
This was a peace keeper, it was rare to find one.
Your heart has the answers, the fortune teller said.
Will she be rich? This question was from the child’s mother.
Rich in experiences, rich in friends, rich in adventures.
The child left smiling.

Follow your heart the old woman said.
I gave her a smirk. Why wasn’t she dead?
This is a cliché’ that never works with a person like me.
I don’t know my heart; she is as smothered as she can be.
When I was a child feelings were to be scoffed.
If you showed my mom tears, she laughed until she coughed.
She made fun of me, and she made me feel small.
Sharing my feelings or following my heart would take away my all.
follow your heart
mystical being
live your marvelous heart course
listen to silence
Two people together, yet so far apart,
Brings back that old saying -
“Just follow your heart.”
It isn’t easy; things get in the way,
There are far too many problems
In this cruel world today.
If some would see their own mistakes
Instead of minding yours
Let you cope with what comes up
And what God has in store.
This sure would be a better place
For lovers everywhere,
If some would keep things to themselves
And not get in your hair.
There aren’t any guarantees
You know that from the start
Just remember the saying -
“Just follow your heart.”
follow your heart my love
let it guide the way.
it will lead you beyond
the gates of mystery
and fear not
for fear is a lie
only love is real.
like the love i have for you
Magic breathes life in our hearts
Destiny resides in our souls
Our path now shimmers unshadowed by the night
With one embrace partnered by a tender kiss, the bounds
of time and distance crumble through fingers like drifting
grains of sand
Dream time is the place where I am alive
Green eyes ripple into lipid pools where miracles draw me
to your heart
I am free to swim by your side until the sun sets and
rises with you again
Life is my dream
I love you
Don’t be pushed by your problems
Be led by your dreams
Live the life
you want to live
Be the person you want to remember
years from now
Make decisions
and act on them
Know in your heart
that you gave your dreams
your best shot
Each of us has a fire
in our hearts
burning for something
Find it
and keep it lit
This is your life
And it’s a short one
Disappointments may occur
But these are challenges
Tests of persistence
And courage
Follow your own intuition
And dream with your eyes open
Until you know
Exactly what it looks like
Turn your dreams into reality
And live life
with no regrets
You say come and live with me
if you want to be free who cares
what people think I am all you need
so don't be afraid I promise you,
you can trust me baby
Well and I did feel a connection
from the start just like lightning in
the dark so I can't help but to follow
my heart now my bags are packed
and ready for the my life to paint
a new work of art
You say you think it's time I become
my brand new man and that this year
is the year for a refreshing change
you say you ain't got nothing to lose
baby only great and wonderful things
to gain
And so who cares what people think
my bags are packed and I'm a gonna
follow my heart, I’m a gonna set my spirit
free there just comes a time who you
gotta live what you believe and be who
you are now I'm a gonna follow my heart
why don't you Follow Your Heart now
don't you think it's time to Follow Your
Heart and set yourself free!
When You Follow Your Heart
We might have made love
In the bed of roses: the bed of fragrant flowers
As we consummate the joy of true love: at age sixty
where the pursuit of pleasure: is a taboo subject
where the Irish moss warms our soft lips:
We might have reversed the aging process, because
our bodies become fascinating and seductive: coherently
We might have rattled the monkey cage: like epic lovers growing old
With one thing on our minds: we follow our hearts
We follow roads
That take us so far
We pray and we wish
Upon a bright star
We follow our dreams
And hope for the best
We study and strive
To pass life’s little test’s
I’m committed to one thing
Right from the start
And that is I promise
To follow my heart
The heart really knows
And it never will lie
If you haven’t heard it
Listen and try
Follow it now
To wherever it leads
Trust it believe it
I’m sure you will see
It’s a wonderful challenge
And a great place to start
You won’t be sorry
If you’ll follow your heart
Just follow your heart
Do what you say you are going to do
Now is the time to shine
Find your way through
Those seas may be rough
But, you can adjust the sails
Continue to rise up through the air
So you can prevail
In times of despair,
In times of trouble,
When the world's against you,
Just follow your heart.
Your world may be filled with,
Gloom & disappointment,
Threatening voices may surround you,
When you sink deeper & deeper
In darkness,
Just follow your heart.
You may fall,
Stumble a little,
The road ahead may seem
Dark & threatening,
But whatever it might be,
Just follow your heart.
Nobody may come to help you up,
No one will lead you the way,
But whether you may meet someone or not,
Just follow your heart.
When you see the Light ahead and,
The world tingling with energy,
Every step taken,heavenly,
You know you just
Followed your heart.
Keep your sanity by listening to
Almighty reason
Then
Follow your heart, happy to be
At any season.

That knawing feeling deep in your gut, that is telling you something is happeining to you, you feel it also deep in your heart, you can taste it like a soft pillow or a warm blanket that you wrap around yourself to bring you comfort that only you can feel safe.
This new feeling, does it have a name? Probably not, because your afraid to acknowledge it's existence, for fear of deep shame, but let me reassure you, please dont turn away, look at me, the feeling you are experiencing is perfectly O.k.
For your always being told, to follow you heart, it will never lead you wrong, it knows you best, Let Go of the grasp you have on your comfort zone, for falling in love with someone as the same sex, is finally being able to say,"Ive been made Free."
Love is Love, that's all there is to it, you see with your eyes, you fall with your heart, love, respect, honor, that's all that matters when two people love each other, and dont ever let anyone tell you anything different..
