Deep in the heart

the center of you
is no doubt an hallowed place
where your core is touched
that I be allowed inside
gives rise to the explosion


Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

I think I understand the intent of this and it's a powerful motivation...I do have trouble getting from the 3rd to the 5th line.
I don't know if I'm trying to put in punctuation that doesn't really need to be there, or if some does and I can't figure out just where.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

A hot temper?
Is this what you are touching inside of that hallowed place?

Earth Angel ~
Thanx for the read  

Virginia ~
I seldom, if ever, use punctuation in my work.  That way you can read it as you like.  Maybe you will read it as I intended

I think this one has got lots of meanings that aren’t on the surface, and you best be careful how you touch those cores, or the explosion will not be the one you desire.

Blue Kitty ~
Yes, there are many meanings ... depending upon what one reads into it

Lady Ollyne ~
If that's what you read into it ... then that's fine

Interloper,
I see you used all your punctuation in the title. It does halt without it, but open-endedly.

Bob darling heart see how quickly I scamper back to sit beside you and drink you in. Just when I believe you have spun all the magic you possibly can you do it again and I’m left wondering at the apparent ease you have in crafting something so wonderful. I love this darling heart utterly utterly love it, have you any concept how special your writing is to me? Always I read it and ALWAYS, But ALWAYS I marvel at how wonderfully your words flow. Lyrical and poetically dancing down the page to pirouette in perfect steps of splendour.

And this is utterly utterly wonderful, the way I read it is I hope the way you wrote it, and its perfect, warming, passionate and very well written


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy


Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

Whoa!  what a wonderful place to be remembered ... in your eyes

Chris ~
How can I tell you how happy I am to hear form you dear friend.  You could damn my work and I'd have a GR8 big smile for you

bsquirrel ~
You discovered my secret

Noah ~
I've missed your upbeat comments and work, too.  Thank you my friend.

Lauren ~
Just let your mind take it in and let it say what you want

Hey Doc,
welcome back. I see your sabbatical has done the physician heal thyself thing. This could be a tower if it wasn't so short...in fact I'm not sure it isn't with all the hidden layers.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Good to see you...seems like it has been awhile.  

To be allowed in to a hallowed place is very special, with trust to not do harm.
