Listening to every heart

0 posted 2003-08-25 02:12 PM



When you Write with Love

When I awoke this morn, I looked around ~
and what broke my heart, was the silent sound
of no one breathing, and no heart’s beat ~
there lay a note…a heartbreak…complete.

While the missive I read gave my eyes their sting,
there, wrapped in foil, lay her ring,
and without reading the letter, word for word,
I knew it was full of those feelings I’d heard.

She doesn’t belong here anymore,
her heart now skips on another’s shore,
for he spoke to her in cadence so fine
now her heart is no longer mine.

He used expression with karmic song
then asked her to please, sing along,
took her heartstrings, plucked them well
she will no longer be compelled

to listen to my words, or hear my voice,
I’ve lost her by my very choice,
to not hear her, nor her words of love,
she’s packed her things, flew like a dove...

She doesn’t live here anymore,
she’s flown off for other shores,
and only lingering traces of her kiss
will I feel in a cool dawn’s mist.

He drew poetic pictures, and lured her in
and thus did their soul’s dance begin,
he took her love, which once was mine
impressed upon her, his words entwined,

he spoke of things she must have missed,
for he sealed his messages with love, and a kiss,
he promised her the moon, under starry skies,
he would sip wine while he gazed in her eyes,

so intoxicated she must have become,
that by my silence, to him she’s run,
and I cannot blame her any more,
that she’s run toward those distant shores.

When I awoke this morn and looked around
what broke my heart was that silent sound
there is no one breathing, no heart’s beat ~
here laid the note…making a heartbreak…complete.

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

based on "another note" from this morn......
you will already know why this one has left me lacking words..............

* no fair making me cry, I just got me mothy make up on.*


*library bound*

You're going to hear my voice in the morning calling your name ...
and know my love and my desperation were one and the same.

Hi Karilea, what I love about your writings is the diversity of subjects and many styles. You are such a fabulous poetess.

My friend from KCMO is on her way and I'm hoping you are in the car with her!!!

See you in a day or two.  ;-)

Huggles, Marti

If she comes to Boston, you'd better well be planning to share... I did, after all...

This is wonderful, Sunshine - Superbly creative...

The tears fell with this one, Karilea.  You left me shaking my head yet again.

Karilea, this one is beautiful and bitterly sad. It is sad that people so quickly forget what true love is all about.
