Light of a Heart

23 May 2006


Talent is but heart
a soul on hold
This row of matches
like a string to a bow

Empty kisses and broken promises
that element of a dispirited trust
To reach forth and know she was there
an angel, the light of a heart

Who knew what was reality
would that be lasting or brief
For what was trust, an understanding
never to repeat, confidence told

Would love ever be the same
contrasted upon unity
For what was talent if not shed
those lips longing in a nakedness to meet


“Take therefore the talent from him,
and give it unto him which hath ten talents.”
Matthew 25: 28 KJV
