Listening to every heart

The Heart

The heart has reasons
which reason does not know
as in the way I look at you
and why I have this glow ~

nor does it explain away
this tingle that I feel
or why inner thoughts of you
are seemingly surreal ~

neither does it account
for every breath that quakes
that I might see tomorrow
as a lover's dream awakes.

The heart, oh, it has reason
which reason does not know
and I thank God for reasons
that slowly come…and go.

Karilea~

there are so many words to try and explain the emotion the heart can bring....very lovely Sunny one....

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

================================

your heart light is shining and rhyming divine in this gem of pen

many times I've thought of "revising my heart"

I remembering being one and the same ...
closer even than the heat and the flame.

There is certainly no need to revise your heart

This is a completely wonderful write that I shall keep forever and wear it out with re-reading.

I think that my heart needs revision...but, yours?! it's already beautiful! This is a soft, lovely penning. It's a keeper~

Take care

thus is the glory of love, is it not: that only the heart can tell what words cannot.
You said with great skill, which is undescribable, Sunshine!

ahhh yes... the glow... I believe you have answered one of my questions here, Sunshine.

I do not look for it any longer, as I don't believe it exists for me.

But, on your advice, I will wait for the pinch

Fabulous writing. I will keep a copy of it, if you do not mind.

Sunshine--

The heart is much wiser than the head! And you have expressed a lot of wisdom here.

I agree with all of the above--
