Heart Peace

Sappy sentiments of what if and hope to be...

 

 

 

Let me display my heart for you to see

Set it gently upon the mantle if you wish

For it is yours

Tell time with

Each beat a counting

A form of measurement

And my delight for you

Is concealed in this vessel

Through the arteries pulsing

You will find your face

I have your fingers laced in the ventricles of my soul

Gaze upon me until you know

That words may fade but my love shall stand

Rest your eyes on this heart

And you will find a mirror

One that reflects you in love

A face you seldom see

When looking through your own eyes

It is easy to miss the wonderful Soul you are

But through my heart you can surely count the ways

You are great

My majestic Love

And through each pumping of this willingly captive heart

May you come to know

The warm and engaging being that swept away defeat

And resurrected a weary soul

You will find as your eyes peer into this heart

That is no longer mine

That I am a reflection of God's love for you

So I offer you this heart as a token of me

Now gaze upon it until you can see

That I am the part of you that was once missing

And now You are found

beautiful..i loved the way you incorporated the vocabulary of the heart in this piece "I have your fingers laced in the ventricles of my soul..."
and "The warm and engaging being that swept away defeat"
I loved this line.

Reading this after "Final Analysis" almost stripped the gears of my mental transmission! From a cold last rites over the corpse of a relationship to such a warm and vibrant love tribute... head-spinning, indeed.

"I have your fingers laced in the ventricles of my soul..." This stopped me dead in my tracks on both reads of your poem... what an original image, a unique description. Priceless!
