Poem: Edges of the heart

can anybody count the number
of wishes falling stars carry?
or the secret talks of yearning
that were confided to the moon?
so many different versions of love exist
and we all search for the right one
to put balance in our life
to show us some new meaning
it may feel like falling of an aeroplane
when starting the first conversation
or it may be easy, trusting what will happen
once you cast away the shadows of the past
and let go the footsteps previous lovers left
all we really want is for someone
to warm the cold edges of our hearts
*
 And this is my 200th post here. That is all ;)

  1. Indeed we all yearn for a love that will warm our heart and soothe our soul and only a lucky few get such love.......................

  5. Yes, and to truly see us and care enough to hear our thoughts and dreams. I love this poem, Natasa!

  6. I wonder if there are enough stars to carry all the wishes... or if the moon will slander all the secret whispered. I hope love can still bloom.. maybe it's up to us and not the sky.

  7. Beautiful sentiments.. I do agree that different types of love or mutual feelings exist in this world.. and somehow each one of us is looking for that one person whose feelings match with ours.

  9. Warming the cold edges of our hearts....yes, that is what we desire. I never heard it put exactly like that, but that image REALLY speaks to me. We all deserve this...and more.

  13. Nice how you work from the too many down to the specific, from the edges of the heart into the center.
