Ruler Of My Heart |

Ruler of my Heart Ruler of my heart, what could that be... Love-sweet, innocent and rosy? No, love can give way to pain, If it were love, I would go slowly insane. Ruler of my heart, who takes that seat... Gaiety and joy, pure and complete? No, joy can so easily be taken away, If it were joy, I wouldn’t last a day. Ruler of my heart, whose honor to claim... Could it be a passionate flame? No, a flame too easily burns out, If it were a flame of passion, I’d have nought. Ruler of my heart, I know who you are! I see you every time I look at the stars. It is you, my God, the creator of all, With you ruling my heart, I will ever stand tall. "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

ESP, this is wonderful! Have you posted this before? If you did, I must have missed it. I'm glad I caught it again! "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

I loved the rhythm of this -- the sort of dip from wishes to reality, repeating. I missed this the first time it was posted, too. Glad to catch up. Mike |

ESP, this is absolutely wonderful. I love the idea of God being the "ruler of my heart". I definitely agree that he is. Truly beautiful work! Ya got my vote! *Krista Knutson* "Cherish your vision; Cherish your ideals; Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts. If you remain true to them, your world will at last be built." ~James Allen~ "We've made houses for hatred...it's time we made a place where people's souls may be seen and made safe"...~Jewel~ |

ESP this is cool!! I think this is a good poem!! Bridgette "Creation of woman from the rib of Man: She was not made from his head to top him; nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him; but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved." -Unknown |

Yo, Lizzie, it's great, though I am a Christian, I was total intrigued by your poem - James The beauty of nature is displayed, not through itself, but through the creatures dwelling within its bosom. |
