My heart, my heart,
you only were bubbles,
that girls blew
with their delicate eyes.

My heart, my heart,
you only were kites
that pulled the girls
in the winds of words.

My heart, my heart,
you were watches
around the selfish wrist of girls,
I never cared about time.

My heart, my heart,
you only were excercise books
wrote without dreams,
words without perfume.

My heart, my heart,
you were only bouquets
of still flowers and unfinished memories,
of thoughts unhappy as thorns.

My heart, my heart,
you wake up finally,
a rose spoke to you,
a rose broke loose
from gardens of past,
my heart, my heart
symmetry rises above the sun.

I loved this poem. Good work Islander.

Never sigh for a better world, it's already composed, played and told.

very beautiful.  I noticed it kind of lends itself to song.  However, it's probably best not to change anything too much!

P.S. If you're not a composer, and you would like to try, I could attempt it.

I really liked the way this one step us through time sort of like watching the growth of a child finding it's way to an understanding and then finally finding what was there in the beginning but being able to accept it for it's own purity.  I will have to re-read to see if I took the right turn or not but non the less, I can say I really enjoyed it and it gave my mind a good exercise on the thought process.  Well done.

My heart, my heart,
you were only bouquets
of still flowers and unfinished memories,
of thoughts unhappy as thorns.

My heart, my heart,
you wake up finally,
a rose spoke to you,
a rose broke loose
from gardens of past,
my heart, my heart

Now, that's just about as pretty as it gets. I loved the perspective. Cleverly done.

Yann, there is something so special about your poetry. It is uniquely ~ and creatively ~ expressed, and I find it exceptionally intriguing. I usually read a poem two or three times. The first time is to take it in ~ and the second time is to experience it, and the third time is to simply enjoy it!

I appreciated the ascension of this poem about love as a blossoming rose. I felt as though you were taking me on a journey that ended up high in the sky! Love is finally in full bloom!

May love be your constant companion in life!
Linda
