          Be still, my noisy heart!!


The only sounds that you should make
are gently beating rythms with each breath this
                          body takes...
His words of love aren't meant for you, so close
                      your open door...
And lock it from within, so love won't break you
                             anymore...


So long ago, when we were young, I let you slip
                                away...
The emptiness grew bigger with each passing
                          wasted day...
I'm sure that you remember when love gave you
                          back to me...
A broken, noisy, jagged heart, for all the
                        world to see...


So, Quiet Please...don't let him know how much
                  his new love means...
Don't jump to false conclusions, reading more
                  than what it seems...
I've got to let my brain decide if I should
                          even start...
To give you back the key to set you free,
                      my noisy heart...


I hear you beating wildly as I ponder what
                            to write...
I don't appreciate your noise within my dreams
                            at night...
So, now I'll try to listen more to what you
                           say to me...
Would you be happy,
                   With his heart,
                                  To keep you
                                    company?

                        



Life is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!

If I were you heart I might say- "The very fact you hear me, means you are alive- but if you keep me hidden, how will we survive?...

Pretty Poem!

Hello Jamie...

             Yes.....'tis a point well
                     taken.....
               In the end, though, the
                  heart wins out!!!
              (Good to see you here)
