here's my heart. . . please forgive me, it's a little bit bruised a little bit scratched a little bit broken but it's still beating still believing still feeling still loving but it's still hurting but it's okay I've been through this before. . . you would think that by now, I'd be bitter but I believe in love too much to be bitter I still believe in the dream the dream of love the dream of life the dream of me the dream of you the dream of us and I always will. . . and should I leave this plane and go on you could open up my chest and take out my heart and it would still be beating with love --------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person.

A different format from you, but I like...very much!!! and done with your usual sensitivity. " Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." T.S. Eliot |

Now you know that I love this! This is just Wow! You and I often think and feel alike, you just touch me with your words - Yes, I do say it almost every time when I read a poem of yours, but, seriously after reading this particular poem, my heart just fluttered, this really touched me, because it's like you are speaking through me. Oh, how I wish that I had written this  I really love this, it may just even be my favourite of yours now. Into the library this goes, heck I'm even printing this out. Excellent presentation and such honest, beautiful words from your heart...Take care, Melissa |

Nice writing, Sven. The heart always seems to endure. Well said. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

It sounds like the heart of a true romantic, one who can never give up on love. How could anyone refuse such an offer? It is a gift to be cherished.

Oh you are a True Romantic. When one believes in love the heart will beat on and on no matter what. I too, am a believer -------------- You got to get up every morning with a smile on your face and show the world all the love in your heart Then people are gonna treat |

There is much truth within your words of a heart that beats strong... We can have our hearts sliced into two but both pieces will always beat to a same tune... and that tune being the LOVE we have within ourselves that we share with others not something that we put away on a shelf... Enjoyed your poem My PoetFriend ~coco~ |

She'd be a fool not to see what's in front of her. You have so much love to give and that heart is as big as they get |
