Floating gently on a cloud....

This poem is inspired by a poem title given in the Poetry Challenge Forum.

Ruler of my Heart

Ruler of my heart, what could that be...
Love-sweet, innocent and rosy?
No, love can give way to pain,
If it were love, I would go slowly insane.

Ruler of my heart, who takes that seat...
Gaiety and joy, pure and complete?
No, joy can so easily be taken away,
If it were joy, I wouldn’t last a day.

Ruler of my heart, whose honor to claim...
Could it be a passionate flame?
No, a flame too easily burns out,
If it were a flame of passion, I’d have nought.

Ruler of my heart, I know who you are!
I see you every time I look at the stars.
It is you, my God, the creator of all,
With you ruling my heart, I will ever stand tall.

Love to everybody in Passions!

BRAVO!  This is an excellent response to the challenge.  I wrote a response to this challenge also, but yours far surpasses my effort.
Wonderful writing.
