Where Do Lonely Hearts Go? ~*Marge Tindal*~  Where do lonely hearts go to find a place to break? Show me how to get there before it is too late. Not wanting to be seen by happy faces when I cry. Where do lonely hearts go to unload their lonely sigh? It must be by the seashore where the waves are always breaking. Carried by the undertow hearts drowning in the aching. No lifeguard on patrol, no rescue overhead. Where do lonely hearts go when love is surely dead? Along the water's edge, sandcastles in the sand, dashed and smashed by a scorned lovers hand. Where do lonely hearts go? I wish I didn't have to know. Giving up to sure surrender, where do breaking hearts go? Broken into a thousand pieces, floating out to sea the tide turns and brings my broken heart back to me. Like broken shells I find them scattered round my feet. Where do broken hearts go to end the misery? Gathered by a new lover making footprints in the sand, my broken heart now rests in another's gentle hand. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

You have such a comforting way with words, Marge! What a great, creative tale of a broken heart's journey. An above average answer to such a painful question. |

Marge, you sure worked your poetic magic with this poem. And, it has a happy ending which is what every broken heart needs. Happy endings are out there if only we never stop searching. Thanks for such a beautiful response. You honor me by posting a wonderful poem as a follow up to mine. Your so kind and considerate! Danny |

JanuaryFlowers~ Thank you for the very kind comments. Perhaps it will reach a heart that needs it. Danny Holloway~ I believe the same as you do ... the connection of the minds, heart and souls of writers MUST meet in mid-flight on the thoughts from the pen. I thank you for the inspiration for this piece as I happen to like it very much. Your 'thoughts' talked to me. I'm pleased that you found it to your liking. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Suthern~ Thank you oodles. Denise~ From the ocean waves to your heart. Tori~ I am most honored by your request. Double thanks from this heart. Marilyn~ Keep looking, but every now and then, check the beach for a good-looking beachcomber picking up pieces of that heart. Thanks for the read. Rex~ Those gentle hands are there for sure. Thank you for the kindness of your response. Becki~ Thank you for letting me know you like it. Kamla~ I just love you to pieces ! Smile, gal.

Now that's a special spirit~. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I think there are a lot of broken hearts around here lately for one reason or another! I think this will touch many! <*\\\>< There's only two ways you can go... One way you can save your riches, And the other will save your soul. Rich Mullins |

Marge, another beautiful poem. Sorry hit that back button in error. But this truly is deserving of two "beautiful poem" comments. [This message has been edited by Eloise (edited 02-18-2000).] |

normally i find the amount of poems dealing with love to be mind-numbing (at best) but i can undoubtedly say that this one has far surpassed what we see every day, it is a grand work of art. the emotions are dealt with very well in a true poetic fashion...i dig it yo rich-pa |

Aahhh...the soft and lonely song of the broken hearted. Forever may our hearts beat as one in perfect harmony realizing, and captivated by one another's pain. Like no other place on Earth we are here, learning to live...again. Thanks for the enjoyable read Ma'am. Chris |

Broken hearts do so much better when they have time to really mend by themseves before finding the hand of the new lover. Wonderful image and poem. |

That is exactly where this lonely heart would go But I don't need to because I have you and the poetry you do Very beautiful your poem Marge Now write one where happy hearts go, how about it? The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Nan~ You certainly have a great vantage point. Keep the watch. Chris G~ Your response rolls as gently as the waves. Thank you kindly. ChristiesHeart~ After floating alone on the sea perhaps they return just in time to be found by another. Thanks for the read. HelmutB~ Oh, my friend ... how you do challenge me. Will post tonight ... cause I know the answer. Glorfindel~ A new beginning indeed. Thanks, glad you enjoyed. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge, Found this link in the Pub, decided to have a looksee. This is beautiful. I only wish that I could trust people enough to give out my heart once again, after it has been broken so many times. But, I do find comfort in this. Thank you. Alicia |
