Mercy Has A Heart




my eyes they peer

into the depth of your soul

seeing my own reflection

branded in your words

I would tell you how I tire
how this head of mine
spins and thinks and hurts

but your hand would then

weave through mine
and defenses would be lost

then here I would sit
this woman, this girl
with only her heart
and a face that tells

everything and nothing

and a soul that screams


Author notes

Sometimes words can create a link between two people that is stronger than hands alone.

    I agree Kimberly...words are the essence of the soul that whisper silently; thank you. We say that without ever having to say it. We say I love you with a chuckle and a raised eyebrow. We are sisters! We understand and relate. Sometimes we even overstand. LOL This is lovely and filled with the sincerest heart. You are such a gem, it takes one to know one. You have expressed the diamond that Michelle is in this beauteous work. Very lovely. I wish you the best in this challenge.


    Always Loving YOU ♥

      I wondered if my thoughts might be a little too scrambled for anyone to understand that sometimes you can feel so connected to someone just by the words you share and the thoughts reflected there. Miles apart you can't touch, you can't see, you can't hang out... but words can connect you just as much as all of those things. Anyway... I just love ya girl and hope you know that.

    Its amazes how strong words can be, especially when dealing with the ones you love and cherish the most. I must agree with your author comments. Its sometimes the words that we say to one another that strengthens the bond between two people more then a simple touch of the hand. Very well expressed

    Knowing the lady the way I do
    What you've said is so very true
    To think, to write, to reach an end
    This time and place to meet a friend

    I cherish all the friendships I have made here on AP. Best wishes in the contest.

    Sincerely,
    Leo Long

    Let my words and actions mingle, uniting not dividing
    these forces from my heart...

    Hugs...Eddy
