A heart that's starved for love will die by Michael We reap the harvest that we sow Though often weeds are all we'll see No sun to nourish new seedlings They die in shadows, much like we A mind grows tired from lack of use And dreams will fade for want of hope The heart grows weary from excuse So often times in life we grope We have so much that few will know And take for granted those so near Not satisfied with all we have We often hurt the ones most dear A heart that's starved for love will die So easy happens and in vain We get so that we don't notice So blind that we ignore their pain Her fragrance, a feminine thing The softness of her touch is there The smell of her like summer rain Her closeness, like much needed air And when she breathes, breathe also I To taste her hot and wetted smile Her heart the cradle of my eye Her neck, a place to pause awhile Such private things I dared to know I've missed them more than it would seem Forgotten friends I used to know Her touch again like some sweet dream So early did we till the earth And plant our seed in it to grow Ignored, it began to wither To keep it weeded, now we know The sun now touches starving hearts The harvest will be full this year And the plants that were forgotten Are now the ones we hold most dear Proust- |

This is so lovely, and quite appropriate, as harvest time comes to Kansas.... thank you for this! |

Michael~ 'We reap the harvest that we sow' How very true - for some a bountiful heart - for others barren fields of broken dreams. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

"A mind grows tired from lack of use And dreams will fade for want of hope The heart grows weary from excuse So often times in life we grope We have so much that few will know And take for granted those so near Not satisfied with all we have We often hurt the ones most dear" ******************* I think you have touched me with your lines more than I could have imagined.....I'll add this to my library.... SO true.......so sadly true.......and you have said it all with such eloquance and beauty...... Thank you for sharing it *************************** It's only me.......only me |

It sounds like the love was fed in time, thankfully, before the starvation took place. Strong message and well done. Sandra |

Michael...this is an awesome write!!! these lines touched me in ways i can't describe... "We reap the harvest that we sow" "A heart that's starved for love will die" "So blind that we ignore their pain" we should be much more careful with the ones (we say) we love...helen |
