TWO LONELY HEARTS
by Richard Maxfield
3-5-99

Two lonely hearts
Meet in the still of the night
Each one sadden
By things that was not right

One had been hurt
The outer broken
By actions, lies
The unspoken

Two hearts
Afraid to care
Two hearts
Scared to share

Each heart
To a different beat
Broken by
Lovers cheat

One reaches out
The outer draws away  
Saving its self
For another day

Things that might have been
But could not be
Two hearts blind
Could not see

Maybe there will
Come a day
When the hearts
Can sing and play

One of the hearts
Beat with in me
Some day soon
To be set free

To let go of past hurt is to forgive and be set free to love again. This poem is sad and I do relate. May you be so very fulfilled with all that you dream of. Your poetry reveals the heart of the poet. Somebody shall find the treasure!

Passion,imagination
and intellect
running together...
Poetry in motion~~~

Aloha with
warmest regards, Koko

This is a really good piece. It's hard to reach out after being hurt, but it just takes time. Thanks for sharing.
