Sentimental Heart
Safe
Her heart is locked away,
Untouched by passion’s thorn,
Never again to walk on winged feet.
Hollow anxious breezes sway
Where,
Once upon a time,
She danced,
On a beautiful autumn day,
In the arms of Prince Charming
His chosen Fairy Princess;
Their future love a mere kiss away.
Regret
Tugs at her spirit
No more often than every day.
Her mind is scorched by memories
Of love, like Handel’s Messiah,
Written by God,
Translated by angels,
So mankind might comprehend
Such perfectly balanced obsession.
A lifetime gone awry,
Would she take love back?
Play the fool,
One more time to try?
Where her happiness lived
Behind brown eyes
In his perception of their lives,
Her heart is locked away
Untouched,
Safe and sound,
Never again to cry out in pleasure
Or in pain.

That is just beautiful, Mimi. It sounds like a dance, all the half rhymes and shifts in tempo. It’s like a classical instrument but in a free flowing form. A sweet melancholy beauty, ‘hollow anxious breezes sway’, exquisite segue into the dance,

This creates pictures Mimi… a moving journey and journal of life and love. You always write so poignantly that it is like a whisper… oh goodness, it’s lovely.
