This heart beats for�

Nothing can take it away from you

This heart beats for…

 

The coals have blistered my feet

With callus of undesirable pain

The friction gripping my teeth

Glimpse of anxiety driving me insane

 

What do I do to understand?

Where do I go to free this feeling?

For I am just an ordinary man

Seeking a tonic of healing

 

The colors of my eyes glow

Dark but with a glimmer of hope

The mirror wants me to show

How I will cope

 

Life is always sweet

Despite what others are going to do

Maybe envision it as a special treat

For your heart only beats for the one and only you

"For your heart only beats for the one and only you"

and therein lies truth. The healing.
With self love lies the answer to love as a whole.

Ralphy, this is wonderful! It's rings of pain and confusion,
but also of hope.

Starrynightpoet said it correctly.... " hope springs eternal"

Beautiful! As always.... :)

An opening that puts the reader in a visionary trance

The emotion and feelings released by this poem are overwhelming

I can hear my heart beat faster with each word

Splendid work � be proud of this accomplishment

What a lovely poem...I love this line:
"For I am just an ordinary man
Seeking a tonic of healing" It makes me think of you being stripped naked, that you are wide open for the taking, due to your admittance in self.

Absolutely wonderful...greatly penned
