Secrets of My Heart

Searching the depths

Of my heart where secrets are kept,

Marvel do I at their splendor,

For their power could never be rendered.

 

These secrets I refer to

Are of a pale blue.

Having no shape,

They barely have a name.

 

Blurred along the edges,

Yet the center is where it hinges.

Folding in ever creasing folds,

They open and close.

 

The secrets I know,

The secrets I bestow…

Live and breathe

On the inside of me.

 

These secrets I refer to

Are dreams gone askew.

Known only by me;

I oft ask myself “Will they ever be?”

 

They tickle, they yearn,

As a flickering fire they burn.

They live and vow not to depart;

Secrets of my heart.

This is beautiful Melinda. The imagery is potent and the phrasing is delightfully lyrical. I was carried along by the zephyrs created by those constantly folding pale blue energies. It was a true pleasure and soul lifting experience. I sighed.
Superb writing Melinda.

A beautiful poem.
"They tickle, they yearn,
As a flickering fire they burn.
They live and vow not to depart;
Secrets of my heart. "

Beautiful way to express those hidden thoughts and yearnings that most people that turn to writing have. I think part of our way to achieve those inner longings is to write about them. Valentine
