Bearing a scared heart

Bearing a scared heart

A Poem by Jock Engelman

Life sometimes will throw a bone;
Alas, often it does not, leaving us in the unknown;
Whether you walk one street or another;
Changes everything in who you meet;
The force of life is too discreet;
Whether you make one decision or another;

Whether relationships last or not;
It Truly matters not;
As with each break, you learn who not to take;
But the unexpected man;
May just be where a better journey than before;
As long as he sees all the beauty in a girl such as you;

A girl with a passion for horses;
And a stronger sense of loyalty;
Than the stars to the moon on a clear night;
Filled with beauty, intelligence and potential;
And a sweetness almost celestial;
For a man to see how strong your hearts firelight burns;

That is why I as an unexpected man;
Am overcome with boiling nerves stronger than;
A thousand butterflies and fireflies;
Buzzing and twisting knots deep inside;
Knowing this'll continue until I know I've tried;
So to wear my heart on my sleeve and ask doth thou accept a date;

I know it's been a while since my last post. I have been working hard on my hip hop rhymes.

this is why poets pack up and leave. This has sat for more than a year and no one has bothered to even comment. We all want recognition but we won't give it. this is a fine poem. Well written and I hope you are still working on those hip hop rhymes....
