When The Heart Chooses

love defies all logic

all boundaries, land and sea

it permeates through walls of rock

through doors without a key

unafraid of any borders

undeterred by darkest night

it doesn't need two wings to soar

or eyes to give it sight

love settles where the heart says

it's carried on each breath

it burns as if by magic

it can't be killed by death

in truth it's unrestricted

not caged within a home

it can float into the heavens

it can comfort when alone

its fervour undisputed

true love remains unshaken

its diamond strength enduring

its presence unmistaken

dear Chris... a year later... and it seems the World is topsy Turvey. However, Love is a feeling that we choose through all sorts of Weather.
Our feathered friends still gather to sing their Songs, and I leave Seeds for them... for strength and fortitude. Be blessed... Pat

And again I’m impressed! I haven’t written rhyme in ages and I loved it but I started to feel restricted like my clothes were too tight so I don’t do it very often and when I do I never share it and with your writing I feel like mine would look like a kindergartner LOL you are good at this

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Patricia. I used to rhyme all the time but have evolved. Every now and again my muse takes me back there. So thankful for your support and encouragement.

another beautifully expressed and formed poem.

Yes, the only thing we can take with us into the next life is love...no material possessions and hopefully not the turmoil we have endured during this life.
We must think and be love.

A pawn to love
Love it -a singalong well, I sang it - instantly. In fact I was looking backwards for a two line refrain to add to it - and just a letter dropped here and there it then, becomes, captivating.
The tune? I can't remember the name of the song but it goes:
'' let him go go go let him tarry - let him sink or swim - i don't care for...''

Well penned.
