thief of hearts ~


Had mine eyes been open when first we met
I would had seen through your disguise.
Thy words are those no longer spoke by men.
found only on pages now faded and yellowed with time
Yet words as smooth as the finest silk
would not allow you to forever hide.

I see Thee now , as many have seen Thee before
So subtly You enter causing the victim of your deception
to open their heart and soul to You .
The mind, the body and spirit become your playground ~
By doing so they stand naked before you...

There is an unwritten rule that everyone should post poetry ,no matter how bad. I am not excluded from this and have scribblings on many small pieces of paper, index cards , the back of a napkin. These small swatches are my confidant , my psychiatrist and my way of clearing away negative thoughts and reaching for the positive . Often the writing goes unfinished as what could become bitterness leaves and the sharp point of the knife withdraws . In order to go forward it is necessary to let go of the past harms and heartaches and to dream of things that bring a smile to your lips as well as your heart ~
