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

Oh James, this is a lovely prayer! Full of heartache, full of longing, but also the nature of the receiver is such that he not only listens, but he also gives us a burden we are able to carry. It is so easy to not have such a faith - to settle for second best, or to just fill time with some or other company. To have that faith that can move mountains, can indeed also be applied to finding our romantic pot of gold.

Inspired writing my friend! :)

Beautiful write, love the metaphor you used!
This hit me hard, I know how you feel James.
It was sad, but romantic. Just think about how when you do finally find her, it'll be worth the wait!
And she'll get to read these awesome poems about how you were waiting and longing for her. :]

I could hear the drops of water splashing on the ground, mixing with tears. I liked the idea that you recognize she's going through similar struggles.

A heartfelt prayer to the one who knows the desires of our heartś.

Blessings dear friend. :D
