The Window to the Soul

This poem is one I made with another poet. His profile is http://www.writerscafe.org/shadodrake This poem we made relating to the contest I recently created: Window to the soul

Let me open my windows Let me open my windows

To tell this story So as to let you live my life

A single pillow About a boy who loved Nintendo's

No warmth anticipatory Because they hid him from his strife

Her soul is empty I know that love's the strongest pow'r

Not an ounce of love That ever did lace the earth

It never felt heavy I saw it in a lovely flow'r

It fit the glove Who restored all, of my self-worth

This soul is alone In a time when no one cared

It has no mate She took the time to do so

Down to the bone A woman who actually dared

Bound to frustrate To ease my once- troubled woe

It's so dark A soul once lost, yet found again

Not a touch of light Through selfless love unbounded

Where is that spark? I now feel safe to leave my den

Where is her knight? She still leaves me dumbfounded

Feels so cold Matchless love, though it may be

No warmth in this bed I try to return the favor

She's either bold She must know, she set me free

Or gone in the head So my whole heart is what I gave her

Now she's lost A broken man, a wounded sire

Cannot be found Was graced by love, a maiden fair

A heart of frost A heart, now full inside of fire

Lies on the ground Flies once again, up in the air

So now you see?

Our world grows old
Don't you believe?
A heart is gold

These eyes before you
Lead to the soul
What they show is true
They tell our role

Author's Note

The poem starts as two different perspectives then concludes by combining the two. This was something new I tried, as it was a collaboration with http://www.writerscafe.org/shadodrake .
I hope you like it and go check out his profile :)

I had a really awesome time working with you on this poem. We should definitely try to work together again, I had a lot of fun and it was cool to create a unique way of pretty with two people. Thanks for asking me to work with you :)
