Paper Heart

My love flows through the silken ink
from depths of poet’s quill
And through a dreamers fantasy
That memories instill

My love is scrolled in verses
Softly spoken to the world
In paper dreams my fragile heart
So willingly unfurled

My love is etched on pages
And in constellations’ stars
For eyes around the universe
To gaze into my heart

My love exists in morning mist
In sunlit drops of dew
Inscribed within poetic phrases
Born in thoughts of you

How can a written love bestow
The warmth and joyful bliss
From poems laced in lover’s ink
That scrolls a paper kiss

The truth will be revealed to me
When sonnets I impart
Unfold sincerity that pours
From out my paper heart

Perhaps the poetry will warm
The passion that you feel
Perhaps a paper love will turn
Into a love for real

I LOVE THIS ! !

This flows so nicely, and has such feeling, I think that paper heart just started beating.

Unsurpassed excellence... to repeat my favorite parts would be to copy the poem... This is fantastic!
