Holding a Delicate Heart

Emotions and thoughts streaming....

I sat and wondered about how
I should hold a delicate heart

Should I balance it slightly
or treat as it may come apart

Should I place it in water
and see if it remains a float

Or should I hold in it my hands
and treat it with a grace note

Should I worry that with
every loving step I shall take

That some how I may drop her
and suddenly she would break

Would I hold it like a baby
all close to my broad chest?

Maybe tuck it in my pocket
where my change lay to rest

Should I wrap it with a blanket
to keep this heart from harm?

Maybe tuck it up under my hat
and make it a good luck charm

Maybe I would be to careful
in trying to keep this heart safe

Perhaps protecting a heart
to much might make it seem waif

I have no answers not an idea
or no little loving clue

I only know if it gets broke
this loving heart will be through

So for now I think I will not take
the heart for granted

I think I will love this heart
and keep her well implanted

This was my favorite part in your poem.

I enjoyed the softness in your questions and the protectiveness you feel towards your heart.

Self-love is amazing because only then we will be able to receive the love of others.

Thank you for sharing your words.

Your rhyme & rhythm is perfectly crafted here. It starts out feeling like a sappy love poem, but then it turns a corner into a more fun & playful write -- nice transformation. Then the ending ties back to the seriously romantic, to come full circle. You summon many interesting, original, & sensory details to flesh out your series of ponderings.

The heart is frail and cracked not because of its holder, but because of life. Hold it as it is yours, keep calm for of it well we will see, nurture it t true. Not easy to trust but her trust is true

I trust the holder to be true or trust wouldn't be there.
