The poet’s heart beats strong with love Exuding mercy given from heaven above Each pulse sends out a signal true Meant to capture the love of you The poet’s heart is filled with compassion Its tenderness never goes out of fashion Always there with a listening ear To soothe your anxiety and lessen your fear The poet’s heart yearns for acceptance A soul in search of man’s repentance Capturing the essence of daily life Helping you cope with trials and strife The poet’s heart flows through her pen Allowing us to believe once again In a world so honest and pure She gives you the courage to endure The poet’s heart shines like the sun You think about her when your day is done Wondering what she’ll write that night Casting on your path the warmest light The poet’s heart is a fragile thing But with patience you can make it sing Songs filled with ancient lore Of all those who have gone before The poet’s heart feels your pain She knows when inside it starts to rain Drying your tears with her gentle hand Always showing she understands The poet’s heart shall live on Even after her life is gone For it is breathes through each word Every one your heart has heard The poet’s heart drifts on by Leaving a tear in my eye I’d give anything to see The poet’s heart live in me All writing comes |

The poet’s heart is a fragile thing But with patience you can make it sing Songs filled with ancient lore Of all those who have gone before =============== The poet’s heart drifts on by Leaving a tear in my eye I’d give anything to see The poet’s heart live in me ================================== Lone wolf.......... This is really lovely.......I loved it The soft flow of it is just beautiful... You have expressed a poet's heart so truly and so wonderfully....... Thank you.....  **************************** It's only me.......only me |

Truly touching and accurate -- you have described what I have felt intuitively but have never stopped to contemplate or express. This is a very strong poem and worthy of many, many re-reads! -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

One could not pen what you have without one. Now, can you tell me where to find one, slightly used, possibly on sale  |

Sweetie, I cant SEE my heart either, but it would be a neat thing to be able to do... so I hear you when you say you would give anything  But I tell you Jen, its worth much more just KNOWING whats inside yourself... warmth, love, caring and of course, not just "a" poets heart, but YOUR poetic heart  Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer. |

*sigh* Did I tell you yet that you're getting better and better every time I read? This one touched some place I could never explain. |

Thank you all very much for the kind replies. I appreciate each and every one of you. I was just sitting here the other morning when this one came to me. I guess it was something I'd been thinking about for a while. Glad you all enjoyed. All writing comes |
