What size the human heart
to embrace the stars at 5 am?
What size the sentiments,
which cause her to pen
love notes to her future prince?
How large is it to open sky
inside this heart on paper born.
How deep is its subtle beats
above love notes written along side pots of tea
bubbling in the morn?
How long must this lover wait
for the other loving one?
How long?
Gathering first
in pumping blood
through
veins and arteries
all shows in blushing face
that loving glow
hearts make
when close to dawn's date.
The blood rushes to her Omen Site
keeping the loving faith
at this another filmy dawn.
Now she lays down her Princess Face
to sleep til prince arrives post haste
to sleep the sleep that love shares
with harmony complete;
lover at the other pillow
sighing, asleep;
dreamed once again this night
replete
she lies down with the dreamer
The questions are well beyond rhetorical, Lonnie,
they strike the heart, reach the home of feeling.
