Her Heart

She's quiet but she has a lot more to offer than what meets the eye.

such purity surmised of a hidden spirit

buried in seams of fluorescence and lust

unseen, barring her recessive lips,

their constriction fostering the furtive hush.

the absence of mind so oft supposed

of a girl who seeks shadows in coveted light

is deceit to carry inadvertently and

naught but obstruction in her stride

for in her chest there lays a heart --

through patience it waits idly

and deem this be your formal appeal

to fill this bitter vacancy.

This is wonderful - you truly create a full character here. I especially love the last four lines. Well written. :)

this is a really great piece of writing. good use of vocabulary without it being overwhelming (I struggle with that balance sometimes).

Another compelling creation in the 'style of Stillman'.
I can feel the shyness of a soul acquainted with solitude and also the whispered yearnings of a heart in need of true and lasting love. Very well composed, dear poet.
