Poem: Empty your heart on me


How your body wraps

around my curves

The instant comfort,

a safe haven

Empty your heart on me.



Flowers on the window

Thunder rolling closer

Your tired body in my lap

Hot like a stone in the sun

Your heavy breathing,

the only sound I focus on

Church bells ringing, helicopter landing

We all plunge into the hard days

without warning

Feeling under pressure

in this playground

Not knowing full well

Which road should we choose

Second guessing ourselves

Looking for a purpose in our days

It feels like we're creating 

our own way the best we know how

We can find comfort in the thought

We will manage anything

life throws at us
