Lingering beats of love🌹

‘Where The Heart Lingers’

I wonder
Where your
Heart lingers

Is it where
Your thoughts
Can’t be controlled
Are cold

Been sold
The souls truth
Untold-

What is it that
Your heart remains
To hold untold

Confusion

Is it your illusion

Of make believe
Vanities
Clouding
Your sanity

Fear

Forgetting to cry
Those
Tears
Reliving the fear
Of lies so near

Trust
You say it’s a must
But yourself
Thrust into
Voids
Where only you
Can hear the voice
Your heart speaks

Out of the deep
You hide as if in
A lengthy sleep

The answers you seek

Leaving you troubled
And weak

Weak to the lies that
Encourage
Your desires
They inspire and
Require
The sadness
Of the madness
That turns you around

Loneliness you’ll have
Found
In the wake of the tide
Where the only wave
You did ride
Was the silent
Heart beat

It wanders
It seeks
For the beat
Of your heart
To be
Complete-

It’s a matter
Of time
A story
A pantomime

The nursery rhyme

It cost far too
Many dollars
And not enough
Dimes

The chiming of the chime

The hearts lock
The chains
Channel
To opening
The chambers

Releasing
A rainbow
Of colours
Emotions
And potions

To the place
Where the heart
Wanders
It was sold out to self
Then realised
The doubt
Bringing about
The pumping of past
To the place
Where it last
Lost itself -

And returned
With what it had learnt
Through blisters
And having been burnt

To a place that’s for keeps
And your spirits complete
To the truth
Of your own
Heartbeat🌹

Some hearts need to be locked-up and protected.
The hearts lock
The chains
Channel
To opening
The chambers "
Love is needed when the heart is willing. Powerful and worthwhile shared dear Kelly.

A beautiful poem, Kelly.....

The heart is such a delicate organ; hard and tough in itself to sustain life, but oh so easily manipulated and broken. Once broken that heart tends to recede into a shadow of its former self. Always wary, always cautious, never quite trusting itself to not be hurt again should it give itself freely to another. So for many of us, our heart lingers in the shadows. And it takes a very special soul to entice that heart back into the light of love again. The irony of heartbreak is that we tend to protect ourselves by sometimes engaging in far more dangerous behaviours, masking that pain with a iron facade to disguise the fact that we are bleeding internally. That is when the "pleasures of the flesh" attitude comes into play. We are a conundrum at times, we humans.

As always, a soothing flow of thoughts, words and rhymes all combining into a thoughtful, cohesive, poetic whole. Very well done.

Thankyou for your kind understanding comment as always- yes sad isn’t it the way people’s heart become when they might have been innocent all along- when we trust and believe but yet again someone takes advantage and cannot handle your heart with care- Thankyou for taking time- much appreciated🌹

with my warmest HUG I'm welcoming You back dearest Kelly🌹

Unless the heart is free from troubles, from fear and all the negative emotions which can be devastating, it can't be whole, and love wholly, the process is not easy because the human's emotions can be so strong and uncontrollable, I read Your poem twice and each time I saw the thoughts, the journey of being free, You are reaching to everyone wanting them to be free and whole because no other state and feeling is compared to that, when we are free and whole, everything good and beautiful will come out from us, into us... because when we feel in our inners that we are "free and whole" nothing else matter, nothing can change it.

Thank You, my beautifully sensitive intelligent friend, for always sharing the richest of thoughts to the mind, heart and spirit.

Sending You happy morning hugs, and lots of Love***

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Your beautiful words always make my heart smile- yes sadly some people cannot connect with the truth of their heart because they addicted to the flesh and in being so lose out of goodness love and truth- blessings hugs and much love being sent to you- mwah xx🌹

[lightsong]

"addicted to the flesh" yes my dear free and whole doesn't come from materials, sadly as You say many people are connected to materials that they don't allow their spirit to grow.

[lightsong]

be proud of Your self, Your heart and spirit because they are one of a kind ✨🌹✨

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Such kindness for a special heart full of much wisdom thankyoux🌹

[jacob erin-cilberto]

in third and last stanzas...i read "soul's" and "spirit's"

but wow.....the rhythm, the rhyme, this throbs like a broken heart that is still beating and hoping to find itself renewed...
we can always hope for redemption of the heart...of resurrection of the heart...
nicely done, Kelly...
