BreadCrumbs To Your Heart

Every little part in the trail counts

Down a rough, dark, path,-
I trek, seeking your heart.
Trailing these bread crumbs,-
That map your love's chart.

Your warm, radiant smile;
Your intimidating beauty,
Your smooth, sexy voice;
Your persona; your purity.

One step at a time, I walk;
Minding every single turn.
In a thicket of hopelessness,
Feeling your passion burn.

Tirelessly, for you, I struggle;
Listening to your heartbeat.
Guided by bread crumbs,
But heeding every single bit.

In pitch blackness, I move;
Down on my knees; feeling,-
Every touch, closer to you,
Every moment; I'm crawling.

Knees bleeding, palms, blistered,
I crawl, my soul bleeds, numbs;
My inside, breaking; heart, aching,
Following scattered bread crumbs;
Time slips through my fingers;
Slowly, the vivid pain it imparts,-
I keep moving; hurting; following-
Bread crumbs, to your heart.

Keep Smiling

Bread crumbs
I like that image
It provides nourishment
but a bare-to-the-bone nourishment
to feed the pursuer.
it provides direction
for a focused single-track mind to follow
crumbs
the leftovers from someone else's feast
from someone else's table
That is quite a useful metaphor
you selected for this poem!

I seriously can't thank you enough. *Wish I could customize the font size of my 'THANK YOU' just so you can get an idea of how it's bigger than that...

Hi Alexander, I thought you had left the site. This poem has good use of metaphor to describe cautiously trying to court a partner.
