A heart waits

 

 

 

 

A heart waits...

 

While sifting through the questions

piled high in a mountain of doubt,

reaching heights beyond belief

and scraping ceilings of torment

 

A heart waits…

 

Now tiring quickly, losing strength,

finding the walk longer than you expected

Closing one eye to find the other does not see

and falling to dark corners of fear

 

A heart waits…

 

As volume amasses upon weakened shoulders,

and pain breaches the avenue

of store front sale signs

on locked door close outs

 

A heart waits…

 

When it all seems too much,

memos become lists of forever paper,

words scratched in blood ink

of empty pens spilling

 

A heart waits…

 

If you have found that point

where your mind says no more

and you feel that nothing will ever be enough,

please remember…

 

A heart waits…and that heart is mine

My foolish heart still waits...
but what it is waiting for, I have all but forgotten...

Bittersweet Jack, tugs at the heartstrings.

When it all seems too much,
memos become lists of forever paper,
words scratched in blood ink
of empty pens spilling

Only a true poet could convey that emotion so eloquently. Bravo my friend.

Another breathtaking piece, Jack. I felt this poem embrace me with your wonderful strings of words. A heart is the only thing capable of waiting an entire eternity for the things it yearns for. Excellent job, dear friend!
