Glowing Heart

A love poem.

Glowing Heart

 

Saw you as I was

Passing through,

Recognized a

Beautiful soul in you

With a strong beating

 Heart that glowed.

 

A heart that glowed so

Bright that it shed new

Light on how trite love’s

 Fickle ways can be.

 

How important it was to

 Remain true to yourself

 And do the best

You can do.

 

You held my hand so I

 Could steady myself to

 Stand tall as you told me

Of majestic distant lands.

 

You planted tiny seeds

Inside my beating heart

That grew into love,

My love for you.

 

My heart smiles even

Though you are miles away.

It yearns to see you happy

With a big smile

On your face.

 

My heart gives you space for

You to grow, to know what

Type of man you’re

 Going to be.

 

My heart knows how

To let go of your hand to set

 You free. To let your heart

Glow for another whose

 Hand is free to be cradled

 By yours.

 

Because my love is true,

It is not blue to let you go

For it yearns for you to

Grow to be happy and run

Free to be the man you were

Meant to be.

 

Author's Note

Sometimes you just have to let go.

Simple but apt usage of words, kudos for that. But you don't have to leave so much space, lol. And of course, letting go is one of the hardest but inevitable part of a relationship. You captured it perfectly here. It takes brilliance to let go and even something more to be mature enough to write about it. Thanks for writing and for sharing.

Keep writing.

How sweet and rare! This write sounds like it is at total peace with an ungodly decision. I couldn't foresee what the end would be so i felt like i was being told a story although someone more was really going on.....

Well done!

Concisely put, and wonderful. This was sweet... unselfish love is always a wonderful thing to see in the world. Personally, it gives me hope for humanity. c:

Great piece.
