Heart to Heart

Every straw that made the nest

Handpicked together to perfections best

That stood the tempest

Of every wuthering weather

That tested

The enormity of my fortitude

And what remains thereof

Is not what is left

That one may see

But what vanished

In branching life’s tree

Exposing

The magnitude of my ineptitude

And maybe someday

In latitudes of gratitude

It may dawn upon

The morning breeze

An inkling

To bring me back

A whiff

Of my love’s sprinkling

And as I reside

In the silence of my solitude

Brazenly as you

Bypass my Heart

While I yearn

To pass by yours every day
