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

I found this really moving, rich in tenderness and sentiments that I can relate to. I think you have a typo 2nd stanza line 1 "loosing" should be "losing" - I do that all the time so have started noticing it lol. I agree the "walk is longer than expected", feeling like forever, but your write is inspirational and offers hope to those who wane sometimes. I enjoyed reading this. Justine

Hmm This poem strangely seems:
To be pulsating to it's own rhythmic beat.
Somehow it keeps a perfect pulsating beat that flows thru many veins of creativity and Beauty.
I wouldn't know how to live without it.
And it all seems to be set in a golden chamber

I'd almost take it to heart but can't find it.. Oh there it is, Jack give it back. or I'm telling on you!

OK so after all that heart talk.. May I say after being pumped out of me....AWESOME ! but the beat goes on....
