His heart was a withering maze
a fruitless find for loves sake
cold as night on a winters moon
all emotions locked
in his heart shaped box
a tortured soul from misplaced love
his spirit settled into despair
but a light at the end of the tunnel
renewed his faith in the feelings of the soul
he watched her for many days
whispering "I love you's" into the wind
her hair would whisp across her face
sending sated shivers down his spine
he would melt with every word she spoke
for the thought of the taste of her lips
would creep into his menaced mind
dragging him into her raspberry licks
they met by chance on one of his daily walks
her hand tenderly touched his own
as she helped him pick up the pieces
of the glass heart he had dropped on the sidewalk
her gaze met his,
eyes sparkling against the moonlight
a serendipitous smile slipped upon
those luscious fervent lips
and his heart sang the song of a phoenix
for standing beside him was an angel
the soul mate he was meant to love
the one who was to hold the key to his being.
Author notes
Just something that came to mind... I used the quote.
"We must love not only occasionally, for a moment, but for ever. Everyone can love occasionally, even the wicked can."

Very Good

Nice story in verse

what a beautiful poem! i love the story you have told here, romantic, delicate, emotional... i really like the line "all emotions locked in his heart shaped box" i was meaning to put that into a poem soon, looks like you beat me to it the one line that i don't like is "like a pony galloping in the breeze" because it doesn't match the tone of the rest of the poem. by the way, i like the background. what a great job you have done on this piece, thank you for entering,
