This is especially for you
I’d kept it under locks
Had hidden away the keys
While my gazing eyes
Waited for you
To be with you
It was hard, not easy
It was taken before
Only to be thrown away
I stumbled, but caught it safe
It’s back where it belongs
Hidden behind my frame
I wrapped it with silks of love
Placed a bow of passion
Filled with noble desires
Packaged it well
To avoid any unwanted spill
It sings the melodies
Of the lyrics written with redness
Flowing through the bleeding veins
The ink is still new, not yet dried
For I kept it warm surrounded
With the warmth of my love
I know it belongs to you
For it whispers to me
Don’t be scared
It will be all good
He is here just for you
I smile as my eyes look down
Shying away from him
Fluttering the wings of hope
Unrested, not sure
Of the beholding future
It’s wrapped tight loosely
Not just ready
To go on a ride
Though packaged sound
Yet it could fall
What if this time I miss it?
Not able to catch it?
It will break into pieces
Displaced all over the ground
But what if I keep it locked for ever
Love comes by knocking at my door
I wait too long and ignore
My perfectly wrapped heart
No one will then ever open
And, find the love hidden
Leaving it alone for the rest of my life
This is not what I want
I too have the desire
To be loved for now and ever.
So, here it is I give you
My only gift
Love filled well packaged heart
In your hands
Take care and don’t lose it.
For if you do, let me know first
I’ll try to accept
You are not Mr. Right
To again, avoid breaking my heart
Never be able to get up
And move on with my life.
It was hard before
Though I survived
I’m a fighter
I fight to win over
The pain of heart break
But how many times I can take?
This time I’ve put my life at stake.
Author notes
Take care...handle with care...take it or leave it...but please don't ever break it...this is all I want!!!

I loved the great imagery that you described so vividly in this line, "I wrapped it with silks of love
Placed a bow of passion."

awesome
This flows very nicely. Usually I don't understand poems without a rhyme scheme- but this is awesome. I like the "its wrapped tight loosely" it contradicts itself. Keep up the good work!

Good Write
This is a dynamite write, that has a lot of strong points in it.My favorite part is paragrah 8.
But what if I keep it locked for ever
Love comes by knocking at my door
I wait too long and ignore
My perfectly wrapped heart
This is very nice. This poem is a fine write depicting the title Packaged Heart. Lovely piece here. Enjoyed reading it.

This is my favorite stanza. This poem is filled with everything i feel. I was terrified to love i still am i am terrified to fall back into love because my first liked to have killed me but what doesnt kill me only makes me stronger. My heart was shattered like a stomped on peice of glass but now i have picked up what i could and glued it back together well anyways great poem your a great artist keep up and continue to write
love to hate

Thanks My Poetic Friend
It seems I sort of got into your mind ;-) I'm sorry you were hurt so was I, but after pondering a lot, I finally decided, though still scared, might give another chance, I've opened a window for cool breeze to enter, the door is still shut until the time My heart is ready again to stumble, but God willingly, this time he will catch it before it breaks into pieces... Hope is a beautiful notino, I try holding onto and I hope you should too. Thansk SweeT for the beautiful comment.

Very nice.
Once again, you have taken words and given them a new meaning, and I can relate rather well with this poem, well, I imagine most people can relate with this poem, because most people aren't lucky enough to find the right one for them right away. All we can do is hope that next time we'll not be picking up the peices of our shattered hearts. Please keep up the good work.

Thanks again Dark-Luna-Goddess
Blessing it is to get a comment--from none other than Goddess--Whom I want to convey my thanks--not just for reading--but to relating and understanding--the words I've spoken with the hope of finding love--so shower your blessings--I shall no more complain--For now I know I will find my special one.

"I smile as my eyes look down
Shying away from him
Fluttering the wings of hope
Unrested, not sure
Of the beholding future"
This is my favorite part! I can feel the memory of my own heart palpitating looking at that special someone. I absolutely love this; I'm bookmarking it. I can identify wholly, and have recently let go of my own. It has cracked since then, but never shattered, resting gently in his hands. Thank you for this.

Thanks Umlot!
Don't we all remember the moment when our hearts go boom! boom? Thank you so much for being the very first to read, understand it and identify with it. It's the most incredible feeling when other read your poem and truly understand your feelings spoken. I appreciate your applauds and sweet encouragement. Thank you again for bookmarking it.
