Place in my Heart


 


I had a place in my heart


for this beautiful muse,


she always whispered so sweetly


 


Something happened to us,


she no longer whispers,


she screams, she howls


 


Is it a poetic lament?


Is a poet listening?


 


I have a place in my heart, still


has she forgotten me,


I’m frightened and frazzled


 


She had seen the storm


coming and she wished


she could just whisper,


blow a breeze


into a poets ear


 


He couldn’t hear her


 


She howled, she screamed,


She no longer rhymed,


Had she ever?


 


It’s true poetic form


and a poet should have seen it,


listened for it,


instead of watching the storm,


tear her apart

This "Place in My Heart", the poem, has an intriguing voice. A striking thoughts' piece that makes this reader think on the arcane of loyalty.

Thank You for sharing and posting "Place in My Heart".

This is an excellent write Dale. I don’t know about you Poet, but, I only savor a gentle breeze, and whenever the soothing winds turn into a hurricane, I’ve always found it’s better to seek shelter from the storm until it passes by. That’s probably why I never wanted to join the U.S. Navy, those nasty winds just seemed to crop up from out of nowhere and without warning and too many sailors were lost at sea. That’s why I chose to serve in U.S. Army Nuclear Weapons Systems Program. All we had to do was just push a button and let God sort the mess out after the fallout. But, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, they are satellites and advanced radar technology to track and prevent unnecessary casualties. Have a good day, Poet.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
