A heart is a fragile thing
More delicate than a butterfly wing
It can be light and float like a feather
Or heavy and under the weather
It rhythmically beats like tribal drums
Or hypnotically fast like firefly hums
It's tender and needs handling with care
As its a thing to behold and share
A heart starts off trusting and pure
Wanting to be loved and so much more
It should not be ignored and left to beat away
It needs love and cherishing, so the beat shall stay

Writing has been my friend since a teenager...I laugh, cry, think, pretend, smile as I do it. I feel that I communicate better through my writing as in person I can appear a tad scatty.

You Are
You're a burning candle,. A silver lining. A darkness brighter than the sun. You're a mindless desire,. An obscure need. A nightmare sweeter than the sweetest dream. You're a soft touch wrecking ball.

Sentinel Kiss
When does love begin. Is it convenient chemistry Blooming in ready flesh. Nanoseconds of conquered yearning. Triumphant emotion crowned with sexuality's thorn.

Love it, great poem. Hearts need looking after from more than just fatty foods. They need some loving too.❤
