The Matchless Gift

from ‘Footprints in the Sand’

 

Your heart is made

of pure crystal

that’s so transparent

unflawed and pure.

 

But how alive it is!

And beautiful

and tender.

 

And like your neck

your shoulders

and arms

it is so fragile

(as well as your dreams).

 

And like you

it’s a simple perfection.

Because perfection

is always simple.

 

If you only knew

how anxious I am to remain

the permanent keeper

of that matchless gift

which you trusted me once

so confidently.

This poem is extremely beautiful but VERY VERY cold!!! heart is like a toy and a woman who can give her heart is like a doll, umm...

[Divinity Sleeps in This]

This has Russian romanticism all over it! Trust is pure and simple, and those who give it freely easily know love.

. indeed ... "perfection is always simple" ...
. beautifully written ...
. infinitely poetic poetry, monsieur ...

[J. J. Nightingale]

A heart must be warm .. and beating .. though perfect in appearance , it's true value lies in its function .. to support life, and to hold, and give Love .. ..

Once again you touch my heart with your perfection .. ..
