Enchantment Of The Heart…


Sailing into the shadows of loneliness
they feel as though they have been cast
to the barren seas of solitude

clinging to a distant love which sometimes
seems as tangible as the mythical mermaid
they believe this is what allows them to breathe

lonely hearts clouded with a mist
ever present in the company of tears,
tears of longing, both his and hers

the burden of pain conceived in longing
is one almost too much to bear

but with each passing day, the enchantment
of the heart directs the current closer to shore
and in the instant eyes meet eyes
the healing of lonely days is complete




Look within the heart of a poet, and you will see a reflection of their soul.

  "the healing of lonely days is complete"
It's really true isn't it?  Loneliness can be healed and it's a beautiful thing, I enjoyed this and the imagery free and fresh.

"When red-haired girls scamper like roses
over the rain-green grass,
and the sun drips honey.""

What a wonderful piece from you.  I am so glad that you decided to join us here in Passions.  You have said so much truth in this as lonliness does seem to dissipate with
the possession of new found meaning, especially when it is in the eyes of one that truely cares for us.
