One Heart Away

I am just
one heart
away
reach out
for me
today
look beyond
all my
flaws
love me just
because
not to go
through the
motions
paint bold
colors of
emotions
a feeling
that is
simple and
sweet
that makes you
complete
filling up
empty spaces
a loving heart
erases

wonderful write...

while we all seem to want passion in our lives, we often would do much better to have acceptance...

When white hot we burst
Into the expanded state
Of heated desire
We thought little
Of the contraction
That would follow.

No heed paid to
The explosive way
We threw off the layers
Of surrounding protection
Leaving only the core
To cool

And in time send signals
That others read
As a passing
Epitaph for love
Dying

Burn bright
But shed light
For we illuminate
The way for those
Who follow

"Love not me for comely grace,
For my pleasing eye or face,
Nor for any outward part....."


Your poem reminded me of that.......

Oh....I loved the sweet soft way you've expressed it......

Thank you
**************************

It's only me.......only me
I hope that would suffice eternally

{{to cross a sea of wonder, and hold close at heart all dreams}}

Tender heartfelt plea, Helen.  All we ever want is just to loved and accepted for who we are by those we love.  Wonderful write.  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
