Forsaken

in poetry •  6 years ago 

It is often proclaimed that
The heart wants what it wants

Though I cannot fathom a guess
As to why
This heart of mine desires you

I once thought you were Heaven sent

Granted that
My prayers were never aimed at
Loving you

Yet love you
I do

I know not how to proceed

Blindsided by this
Vehemence

I am forced to feel
My way
Past the dark
Disregard you offer

In exchange for
My foolhardy display

You never fail to inspire great emotions with your writing. I do so love to read it <3

Thank you so much <3

it's mysterious the way the heart has its own reasons and follows its own wisdom...but I never went wrong following my heart - the trick is separating out the voice of your heart from the call of the flesh ;) Good to see you again, Tina

Tricky business for sure. ;) Thanks so much John.

El amor es por antonomasia el tema fundamental de la poesía, @tinajordan, y el amor no correspondido más. De él se han escrito páginas, libros enteros y nadie ha hallado el motivo de su existencia. amamos una y otra vez y siempre vamos como ciegos a su encuentro. aunque seamos experimentados, en el amor somos novatos, aprendices. Gracias por compartir.

Es la verdad, todo lo que dices. Muchas gracias por leer mi poema :)
