My heart sees
In clarity and calm

To pour upon you
Ancient and renewing balm

So crystal clear
When all that you may fear might lay exposed

My heart sees
What the limit of these frail eyes may not suppose

My heart knows
So vividly devout

The truth comes
With no way to be found out

Reluctance never shared
In aching void that echoes deep inside

My heart knows
The footpath to the caves where tears are dried

Wonderful your writing...always touches deep.

To have lived the dream of a love so true...

That last line...as you can telll...the hook that gets us all.  I love it...love it...love it.

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...

This sounds so caring and empathetic, and yes, so very poetic.   I enjoyed this very much each time I read it.  I agree with the others- the last line really catchy.   Fantastic write.
