Waiting for My Heart to Break in Two

Oh, to feel my breath
inside of what
has not been touched in years
by the breezes I find,
as if meant
to be
my air.
After the sunset fades,
I cannot express
how it feels to have
your heart broken in two
and for days hear a song
that still loves you
in the morning.

Flying straight through the tinted glass
I hold on tight
to the place I know
is standing in the distance.
In search of one,
whose notions move into shadows
loyal to an army of water
that sits backs and looks at every word
as if
it is an ocean
of a single heartbeat.

I sing this song in my heart
with my eyes closed,
never bitter,
but you know that.
I hold no shame of the memories
held dear,
their touch whispers
like a smear of warm sun
promising not to forget
what it searches for.
Smiling into eternity’s cup,
I begin to write.

I write of dancing in the windows
where the sun and moon
are uninhibited
as they drink from the air
of unmeasured words.
A place where the only thing I wish for
is a glimpse of flowers
that will push the thoughts of waiting
for my heart to break
in two
….away.

This is so brilliantly sad..An emotional write
that bleeds for comfort and recoqnition...

Your heart on an offering plate. This is how it felt to me. You offer your self up to experience an emotion that was once had but lost. You know it can come with a price. The heart is a living breathing entity on it's own. When it breaks in two...we feel disconnected from self, time, and reality.

SO DELIGHTFUL...........!!!

Open once shuttered lids
drink in this proffered view
as once more like little kids
we walk just me and you
through air kissed corn and wavered bowers
to where your dreams are stored
by flowing stream and scented flowers
and friendship safe assured
so take a seat and make this toast
taste gentle of this wine
that at such time when needed most
you are still a friend of mine.

Love your poem, love the natural flow and the emotional outpour, just wanted to let you know that as my friend I have your back...always. Keep em' coming
