    Heart Coming Back

    Somewhere alone
    a sad wanting heart
    has sifted it's memories
    for a new way to start

    It never has felt
    this cold by itself
    'til now it's not had
    a reason to melt

    But, need has arisen
    through the chill it has come
    and, wants to be tended
    not be left alone

    The door on love closed
    long ago now it seems
    like an old friend who's memory
    just faded from dreams

    Much time's been wasted
    because there's been none
    to hold to and be with
    and become love as one

    It just hasn't felt like
    a reason's been there
    to risk one more heartache
    on a heart that won't share

    Battered inside
    it felt better to wither
    than give up one tear
    to another love loser

    But, night's all alone
    have taken their toll
    doing lonely’s no fun
    And, hard on the soul

    But, her dues paid at last
    and, the cost it was high
    those mistakes of the past
    above them she’ll fly

    Her heart always knew
    the way to a lover
    was it has to be willing
    to trust in another

    For love won't come near it
    if it cannot do that
    they're all just as scared
    of a heart that holds back

    A hard lesson learned
    but, learned none-the-less
    now time to move on
    and find happiness

    To a heart out there somewhere
    her heart does now call
    it lived through the hard times
    but, broke through that wall

    It'll spare us the pasts
    and look to the future
    to something that lasts
    a love built together

    Hard promise no hold backs
    don't fear this new heart
    it's learned that love's only
    as good as it starts

    Please bring it peace
    and it'll give you it's all
    to a love that is easy
    just answer the call

    It's seen the worst
    and knows that's not where
    to stay lost forever
    love's better than there

    Chance with it now
    bet a heart you can’t loose
    if it questions love again
    it's own past it won't choose

    There's just no way to express the way this has made me feel,.....tears slide down my cheeks as i recall the past. You have just spoken for my heart itself in your writing. Thank you for putting my feelings and emotions in words. This brings those painful memories back to me but also the joy of the moment I finally let love back in my life. I am so thankful for the pain for without it I would never have known my true love when he came.

    Well, thank you so much DeeDee... I wrote this for a friend a long time ago, but it really does fit a lot of people who got burnt, stepped back from the world for a while, then realize they learned from their mistake and want to try it again; this time, better prepared...

    Thanks Clif, sorry I have to remove all the other pieces I have posted, maybe I'll write more pure poems for this site as I can't post my songs anymore...

    It's funny how sometimes what the heart wants most, is what it's most afraid of. Great write. Btw, I like that you don't fit into any particular style. Pigeon-holes can be quite stifling. Especially to someone of your talents.

    Thank you KT... and, you're very right about that... my writing is all over the place; totally mood driven... but, it always seems to come out okay and tells a story I think needs tellin'...

    Kinda strange how the flow of a poem can sometimes resist being accompanied with music. Dude, this work echoes the single most vital ancient truth - the heart's desire. And that closing verse is precisely the close it should be. Love can be turbulent but, only the most delicate things survive! There will never be enough written about the eternal violet fire somewhere in the heart's dimensions - though this piece will easily do! Hey, laybdakI, I posted my latest last night. If you liked the first one, I'm pretty sure you'll love this one! Exquisite write, my good brother!!

    Few could hope to master the comment section as you so eloquently do SD... You broke it down to it's core meaning... Well done... I'll go check out your new piece now...

    Well, ty! But, i'm not trying to best anyone, i just like to speak my mind when it's appropriate. There's some staggering creativity in this site - and to think i'd almost not dug farther in! Do I detect a "What is a Poet" innuendo? Nice try pal! Lol!!

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

    Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
