Nostalgia

love-proof

Rate this Entry
Heart reaches out
Tenderly, delicately,
searching for any hint of
harm or threat
hidden in the advance

I tell it no
Get back in your
love-proof vest!
The world is dangerous

I have no need to
explain this
as it has been demonstrated
to Heart
by break
after break
after break

Still, Heart reaches out
wondering, watching,
pleading for a cause,
begging
for a reason to be

    I like this very much skib. It's so difficult to write anything new about the heart and I think calling the ribcage a "bullet proof vest" is marvelous. I believe - as long as it beats- the heart must reach. Nicely done!

    Thank you! I wondered if anybody would understand this, seeing as a lot of the things I write late at night (or early in the morn) make absolutely no sense.

    As you already know, I did read this. But I was on lunch and had to get back so I couldnt comment. This is a great poem. Amazing wording. And I could go into more detail on the philosophy of it, but I just told you that over the phone.
    So frankly, **** you.

    This is beautiful, skib, clever, and it hints at deeper layers of heartbreak and longing. *Hug!* You make perfect sense!

    Very nice Skib. I liked this much:
    I have no need to
    explain this
    as it has been demonstrated
    to Heart
    by break
    after break
    after break
    Something about that repetition that drives it home.

    This is really cool! I love free-form poetry that doesn't rhyme. (Maybe because that's the only kind I'm "good" at? )
