   A heart of stone that
cannot bleed
   Or one that soars
an eagles flight.
   The choice is mine
to make.
   I can go through life
untouched by love
   And never feel that
lonely ache
   But would that truly
be life
   Or just a reflection
in a muddy puddle
   A dim and murky shadow
of what could be.
   Or I can chance the
pain of sunburnt wings
   To bask in the warmth
of a lovers caress
   To see my love in
their eyes.
   Knowing there will be
pain
   Knowing my heart will
bleed
   But knowing its worth
that sun splashed kiss
   So a heart that cant
bleed?
   Or one that can
soar?
   I'll take the wind
any day.

Soar Paula Soar!!!

Better to know love and lose, then to not know love and be alone. . . *sigh*

Better to have a heart that knows love, than one that can know nothing. . .

Excellent. . .

I'm with Marge on this one, fly girl! Fly!

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown

I'm in agreement.  If chances aren't taken, life is not lived.

Great poem, Paula.

I'll take all the sun splashed kisses I can get because the thrill of them cannot be denied. To lose out on that feeling would be to lose out on life itself. I agree with you wholeheartedly, soar!!
Excellent poem I enjoyed every thought.
