What a surprise
River of ice
Breaking away
Oh heart
Wordless whisper
Emotion fever
Melting away
Oh heart
Masked delusion
Disguised deception
Walking blindly?
Oh heart
Abandoned lies
Grievous cries
Forgotten scars?
Oh heart
Locked in prison
Nowhere a reason
Take heed and listen
Oh heart
Sleep tight
Till its bright
For you to sight

Very pretty poem and I love the picture you picked to go with it! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, I love the picture too and it took me quite some time to find the right one.
DeleteBeautiful words!!! The heart is the only way to open up and heal. I love this part

The heart will melt and heal all the wounds that the mind wishes to remember. Thanks for the sharing!!! :)
Thank you very much, Suzanne. True forgiveness comes from a loving heart. It throws away hatred and heals the wounds.
DeleteWhat a beautiful poem! You so perfectly expressed what one feels in this experience.
ReplyDelete" It is always hard for cognition to prevail over emotion."
You're so right, it is hard, isn't it?
Love Suzanne's comment....
"The heart will melt and heal all the wounds that the mind wishes to remember."
Spot on!
The photo you used for this post is PERFECT! Stunning shot. Did you take it yourself? Well done!
Thank you very much, Ron. Poem is a great way of expressing our thoughts and feeling.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is just hard when the mind and the heart get into conflict with each other, one says "Yes!" and the other says "No!"
I love Suzanne's comment too, she has art in her hands as well as in her words.
The picture is really great but it wasn't taken by me. I've added the name of the photographer at the bottom of the post.
Sometimes we writers hide behind structures. Your poem is very pretty - but I struggle to see and feel the real story behind your words. Your are writing so well - be bold and venture into sharing a part of yourself.
ReplyDeleteAm I making sense?
Thank you for your comments! Perhaps I've been selfish, hiding behind the words and not letting the poem voice out my feelings clear enough.
DeleteI still have so many things to learn and your advice is invaluable. You're a wonderful writer and I'm honored to have you commenting on my blog.
The pleasure is all mine.
ReplyDeleteThe poem is so gorgeous, filled with emotion. Just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It did absorb my emotion and made me feel better.
DeleteA perfectly lovely poem. I especially like "Oh heart sleep tight." Wow, what a gripping visual. :) Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThank you! The heart was longing for something, preventing the eyes from going to sleep.
DeleteI loved what you have written on delusion and I can live with the last paragraph. Lovely poem.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Saru! Sometimes our heart becomes too gentle, and unfortunate enough to fall victim to delusions and deceptions.
DeleteLovely poetry!....felt like reading old classic poem :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Valli! And never expect something modern from this old-fashioned guy :)
DeleteHi Zunnu
ReplyDeleteOur heart has a mind of it;s own. Very nice lines :D
Hi Ghazala! Thank you so much for dropping by.
DeleteMind of its own with its own way of thinking :)
It's really the heart that suffers the most when we are in an emotional state, so we should take good care of our heart, let it rest.
ReplyDeleteThat's very true, Imee. Perhaps I can say that it suffers both physically and spiritually. However, to let it rest while crossing through an emotional turmoil is extremely difficult.
DeleteNicely written! Sometimes we just need a good night's rest.
ReplyDeleteBlessings ~ Wendy
Thank you, Wendy! You're absolutely right, sometimes anxieties simply disappear after a good night's sleep.
DeleteHello Zunnur! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog. Your views are much appreciated.
Oh this heart is always so troubled over matters which are emotional. But the heart needs to toughen up to bear with the struggles that are eternal.
I liked your style of penning down this poem. I enjoyed reading it.
Have a good day! :)
@Sui Generis Writer;
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome!
As you walk through life challenges, the heart grow stronger. You're right, the heart need to toughen up.
Thank you so much for your comments.
Extremely pretty.
ReplyDeleteTouches the heart!
It sounds a bit melancholic. There's a longing, too, I hope you'll get over it soon.
ReplyDeleteA well-penned poem. :)
@ Puple Assasin,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
@ Balqis,
True, there are elements of sadness and longing in this simple poem. It was reflecting a process of steering the heart away from something it would like to have but which it shouldn't have.
Thank you so much, my friend!
Such a beautiful poem, I can relate to it so much. I read a heart of pain, still filled with hope.
