Dialogue of Darkness

Looking to my heart for answers

 

      ' tis but to chase an empty dream

for the heart ~she only knows how to lie

                               

                       to safeguard feelings..

protection tucked inside

her safety valve ever so neatly

                       secrets kept within each beat

I seek to converse with her

   about things such as love

                         

                   ah, but the heart she is in denial..

she pretends not to hear

            for to speak of these things

                              

                          sends shivers of sadness

as loneliness resides there~

she has  no voice

 nor conversation left

                                    within

  her private chambers

and her only response is

                             a dialogue of darkness

"for the heart ~she only knows how to lie
to safeguard feelings..
protection tucked inside
her safety valve ever so neatly
secrets kept within each beat" - I was really gripped by this - years ago I read that the heart has some neurons and its considered a type of brain. This poem has really fired my imangination Fran - the heart is so often portrayed as victim not a co-conspirator - its a brilliant unique take (well to me anyway).
I love the intrigue in this one.

I really like that painting of the shadow heart:) My heart is a defiant creature too. Seems comes a point when the chamber would rather be empty than to feel the pain of emptiness again, if you get my beating dear Fran! what an awesome and clever analogy in these lines:)

matters of the heart are never easy. secrets, denial, sadness, no voice, darkness - ouch. she certainly has tucked away an awful lot. it must be deeply searched to find those elusive answers ... :)

The heart never accepts what life throws its way. No voice, it exists in a void. I love the way you wrote this.

simply said with vulnerable intimacy ... emotive enough to almost make my face start to blush ... like seeing in too deeply to those secret places ... so ..well done for me! solitary scene that makes darkness an entity .. i like this a lot!

This is beautifully written Fran Marie. I love the way you have taken the emotion of being left without emotion, and shown the emotion of being that person, with the safety valves in place to protect her from any more hurt. I think we can all relate to those safety valves. You also wrote this so softly and gently, not in anger, but almost graceful acceptance of this is how it is and has to be. Beautiful.
