A Guest Awaits

If we want to have love in our life we must be willing to open the door of our heart...

The door of your heart

Opens only from the inside

Outside love is waiting.

Reviews

[John the Baptist]

This brief offering describes the predicament of many. Having been hurt, or maybe just fearing hurt, they keep their emotions close to the vest. This may provide protection of a sort, but at the same time it keeps the affections of others at arms length. Loneliness and frustration are its fruits.

[Marie]

Dear J. B. I so agree with your comment. Closing one's heart does provide a degree of protection, but it prevents finding true, real, genuine, unconditional love again and as you so rightly say, both loneliness and frustration are its fruits. Thank you for reading and for sharing your words of wisdom in your wonderful review. Gratitude with beautiful blessings your way, dear J.B...

Love this one dear Marie, such a lovely pensee, nice how you have varied the haiku format as well - Excellent ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

[Marie]

Dear red93 thank you for kindly reading and commenting. So pleased you liked this Haiku. I use the original Japanese Haiku format of 5, 7, 5 dear red93. Wishing you a very nice evening to enjoy...

[Gee]

It amazes me that some folk never open their heart for anyone, how sad to miss out on true love.

[Marie]

Yes, it surprises me too, Gee. I guess if one is hurt in a relationship they are careful ever after. It is sad to miss out, but hopefully, unconditional love will come along one day. Thank you for kindly commenting, Gee...

MMmmm, Marie! ⛩️

What's not to adore about this delightful little poetic warmer?
I really cannot answer that rhetorical question. ; )
Almost a perfect 5/7/5 Senryu that can be made such with barely a breath of the pen's caring touch.

the door of your heart
opens only from inside
outside love awaits (or) love awaits outside (or) love outside awaits

So many ways for a creative poetess to share that a hopeful romantic guest can enter the heart through an open door, but never through one that remains sealed from affection, or bravely taking a chance.
Love the perfect artwork choice and imagination-catching title.

I so warmly cherish how you wield your caressing pen✍ Dear Poetess.
Bless thee always, well and true! ⁓ Richard🖌

[Marie]

and if we lock ourselves in,
there is no light, no love, no life.
