Things of the heart (two poems)


Forget-Me-Not

His Heart

His sorrows as the storming sea

His moods the changing tide

His thoughts as deep as dark of night

Beyond the stars abide

His eyes the shade of evening sky

As clear as flawless glass

Reveal the suffering of his soul

His scars they far surpass

His many cares weigh heavily

His hopes they wax and wane

His deepest dreams elusive still

His longings steeped in pain

And yet this man seems not to know

The thing his heart affords

Though broken deep is fragile not

But strong as silken cords

Resilient far beyond his wounds

It harbors power within

The day his strength of heart he sees

His life will then begin

Her Heart

Her sorrows like a river flow

Her moods they rise and fall

Her thoughts of him she can't forget

They beckon and they call

Her eyes in sadness darken

As she weeps herself to sleep

But with this man so far away

His words her heart must keep

So many cares she has for him

For hopes and dreams he lost

To God she pleads his happiness

She prays at any cost

This woman tries to understand

Yet so much he conceals

So she is left to wonder

With the little he reveals

But what she knows she can't deny

It can't be torn apart

Because the last he said to her

Was listen to her heart
