My Heart to You

03 October 2006


Sending my heart to you
seeking it out. Wondering
whether love was all but
another word for doubt.

Could it be true, that your eyes,
held those secrets, the ones to look within.
Not knowing, yet unknown.
To see your motherhood,
that parent in your twin.

One of loving, one of likeness,
the one who makes everything well worthwhile.
Pure happiness, that comes with style.
If you want a broken heart,
that can be arranged too.

This is life, this is the world we live in
and that takes me and you.
So if you’re not sure, is just to not know,
but to be more sure is to openly grow.

For what do you desire,
what in any man do you need
Just remember, your heart,
your soul and your faith,
is where your eternity does feed.


“And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit
within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh,
and will give them an heart of flesh:”
Ezekiel 11: 19 KJV

My above words ("My Heart to You") was at first created and recorded in my own voice on to a mp3 recording. In this way of me making the poem up inside my head and speaking (and quickly thinking out) the words into the microphone at the same time.

So in the case of any one ever listening to that mp3 (and have) and a few others similar recordings that now do exist, they get to hear exactly what and when what I was thinking up each and every word and stanza, in thought of each word and speaking them out loud in my voice simultaneously, to achieve such unique recording. (some of these one off recordings are now able to be heard on line at a special space I have made mine on the world wide web)

These mp3 recordings are not poem recitals (as to some people whom would believe or had a misunderstanding about before my explanation was understood more fully by them), there was no poem to ever read at that moment in time.

I had not written the words down in any way or form to create the poem."My Heart to You" at the time I composed those words in my own voice on September 16, 2006. Of a poem composed in a time of around 2 minutes at the most, but more like 90 seconds, in all of my own voice, out of a nothingness, except for the whisper of a still small voice.

So the poem came from an ether of a supposed nothingness to be much more, for there was no poem, before the voice began to compose it. I admit I am a freak in that way, in relation to verses and stanza I write and compose on average in times of 5 minutes and not much more, most often rather more quicker in the whole honest truth.

In that case it's not just beautiful, it's astonishing!

I believe I posted a poem on PIP called "shattered dreams" and it might have a link in it to download and hear such an mp3 recording.

I think I added that link on pip, only I could also be wrong, still that other works was composed the same way as the above, in voice and the transcript written down word for word , from the recording
