My Heart is a Chamber

When I close my eyes I can see,
That my heart is a chamber.
This chamber has a white door,
With a bright silver handle.
But behind the door the chamber is empty.

So throughout the years,
I have made a white chair to sit upon,
Painted the room black to ease my eyes,
And built a white picture frame to place upon the wall,
But in which no picture I painted would fit.
For endless hours I have sat in the chair,
Staring at the empty picture frame.
But only recently has the emptiness of the room bothered me.
I longed for something to fill the gap in the frame.
To make the vast emptiness of the room seem gone.

I sat in that chair and stared at the picture frame until,
I almost thought the emptiness to be eternal.
Then my eyes came across your beauty.

Slowly I painted a picture of that beauty,
And only when I finished the picture,
Did I notice how perfectly it fit the frame,
How your lovely eyes brightened the room.
How your marvellous smile filled the room with joy,
And how perfectly you filled the emptiness in the chamber.

When I close my eyes I can see,
That you have filled my heart,
For my heart is a chamber,
And this chamber is no longer empty.

    Probably one of the most origional love poems I have ever read. I loved the imagery of the interior of the heart; the painting of the picture. Reminded me of some of the great poets I study in school. You are very talented and took the concept of love to new heights. Good luck in the contest!

      Thank you, I really appreciate a comment like that although I don't quite believe I took the concept of love to a new height, just changed it through a metaphorical perspective.

    Welcome to AllPoetry

    Masterful poem ~

    The imagery in this is incredible for me - I found myself relating to the words as I suffer from Bipolar and I understand the white room feeling ... but I have never read it like this where you paint the room and change the scenery to benefit you - rather excellent

    Enjoy AllPoetry
