I've heard so much about a heart that's made of purest gold. I've wondered how this all could be, "because they're red I'm told." The color doesn't mean to much 'tis what we have inside that makes our heart a living thing and by it we abide. Sometimes I wish my heart was small just by an act of fate so there could be no room inside to harbor any hate. ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ Love is such a lonely art, and death is but a taste. Minds are merely instruments that often go to waste! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ |

Sweetie- Hearts don't harbor hate ... honest they don't. A heart is expandable ... to hold all the love you let enter. Knock ! Knock ! Love to you ...... ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Welcome back Echo : ) It's good to see you posting again! I can relate to this poem sweety. But to have a smaller heart would not only cut out hate, but also love as well. This was very well written. |

Welcome Back Echo, we've missed you! Lovely work, but I too believe that if we had smaller hearts to close out the hate, then we would also close out love. But sometimes it seems easier that way, huh? Great work! *Krista Knutson* ~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack, Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare, Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water, Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha |

Mel, and excellent poem! It can harbor many hateful things, but God can cleanse them all!  <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace. Where there is peace, there is GOD. Where there is GOD, there is no need. Hallmark |

Hey girl! I sure am glad you're back to writing more great stuff for us...this one was a beauty.... It's okay to be angry, just don't let it eat you up, and rule your life. Eventually, you have to let God handle the things and people who have hurt you. They will pay....God will judge them. You just keep a pure heart...and you will be blessed. "Cast all your cares on him, because he cares for you".....Chin up girl....we all love you and have missed you desperately! Hope to see more work from you!!! Get that pen busy! Love, Gennifer ** I'm reaching for the brightest star I've ever seen - knock my ladder out from under me, and you'll wish you hadn't !! -pFF ** Here's to 2000! |

I have found the poem that you wrote that inspired me to write Heartfelt thoughts. After reading your poem titled "Hearts" I started to think about the way my heart was feeling and what my heart desired. I loved your desire for a soft heart. I wrote this short poem for you. Wherever you go Passions travels with you now always in your heart. It was you who stirred this passion up and embraced it from the start. So live pleasurably and savor your destiny so passionate together still passionate while apart. Take care, James |
