     Abandoned Hearts

Give me each time
the Abandoned Heart
scarred from Abandonments
which
reveal
its
own Consignments
amid the Tendernesses
it never
knew existed;
its introduction
it
so long
sought to believe
was safely
encased
in Sophisticatednesses
yet in reality not revealed;
youth's self-disillusionment
and I
Witness
make things worse
by intoning
remembrances
of Humility's Lesson
stronger still
when
where we are all
eventually
revealed
to
ourselves
cringing;
when Past, Present and Now
are united
inside Nuance
in which state
you are at once
nothing more
or less
than your Total
Experiences;
not Cranial Thoughts
Plans, Schemes, Designs
or Feelings
or 
Self. 

Give me each time
the Hearts' Abandon
its fulsome reach
its expanded Soul
True failed love allows.

Give me
That Hearts' Abandon
for each
knows True Love
caution
forestalled
allows True Love to grow
better to possess
that Abandon
than
cloister Heart Unused
because
Abandonment of the Soul
is the worse use
Unused Love
allows.

 

Give me each time
then

the battered heart

because it is a sign 

it once loved deeply

thereby gaining

the wisdom the Soul imparts

to those who survive

Love's Rejection,

poised then

to appreciate

Love's second chance.

Hearts

only grow

if tested;

those not

harbor

Loves'

Chimera

trapped

behind

Love's Illusion;

fearful

of ever

letting it go.

No, give me

a Heart Used

because untested ones

have not had

their souls renewed.
