My Heart

Sometimes one can't express themselves through actions but instead are able to do it through words.

If I listen to my heart

it tells me that

You are…

The blanket that keeps me warm and comfortable,

The cup of tea that chases away the chill from my bones

on a freezing cold winter’s day,

The book that I just can’t put down because the writing

carries me on the journey,

That piece of chocolate that satisfies

the voracious craving that has been haunting me all day,

The musical sound of waves crashing on the shore

that calms me down in seconds,

The breathtaking view of the colorful trees

on a crisp autumn day,

The picture that captures

the most beautiful sight in the world,

and most of all,

The strong arms and pure heart

that always puts a smile on my face.

Kristen, this is a beautiful poem that brings with its words a strong sense of imagery. Having just gotten married this makes me think of my wife and how i feel about her and our times together. Great poem .
