Melting...

A Melting Heart...

Melting...

As an ice cube sets out in the heat of the sun,
it slowly but surely melts away into a puddle
and eventually evaporates,

My heart day in and day out is doing the exact
same thing, knowing that the love of my life is
experiencing the same melting effect because
we so much long to be with one another but for
whatever reason cannot find each other,

I want so much to be solid and in love
to have, hold, and cherish my soul mate,
but for now I feel as if I am that ice cube
slowly but surely melting away,

So I ask God to please put the beautiful sun away
for the evening, so I can bask in the moonlight and
wipe away the puddles that have formed from my
melting heart and crying eyes,

I pray that tomorrow will be the day that I am blessed
to meet my future wife and we can help one another
heal from the time we were apart but always dreamed
of being together,

Oh Lord please let tomorrow be that magical day,
father my heart is dripping, I'm melting away...

I really like the metaphor you used with ice cube and your heart. I think its an interesting concept. perhaps God wants you heart to completely melt before finding the woman he has chosen for you. I loved the line

Really great emotions and beautiful picture there. Reminds me of when i would sit outside and stare at the moon and wonder if my future husband was staring at it too. Lovely. Just lovey.
GOD is GOOD my friend

Very good, James. I think we are all ice cubes, melting away bit by bit. Life is so short, an ice cube in times of history. We have to cherish every day we have. Very well done. :) Rudi

Great metaphorical piece JT. Feeling yourself ebbing away can't be good for the soul - you conveyed that very well here.

This is a nice piece. I totally get the interloping stories in this work of art. The ice cube and its comparison to tears and the heart is great. Keep up the good work.

how can you write something this romantic about someone you have never met...that is a challenge, and you have far succeeded to do just that...create a strong love poem based on possibilities...

really nicely done.
