A hearts graffiti

A poem about the stories, scars and names that life leaves etched upon a heart

A hearts graffiti tells its tale,

through its tags, and quotes, and murals

Some hearts bearing single names,

and yet more bearing plurals

Messages made by hands that touched,

by words that healed and scarred

From works of art that touch the soul,

to jagged strokes that tore and marred

Some hearts are scoured of every mark,

for fear of damage done

While others bear a million prints,

of stories ended and begun

Some bear names that are etched so deep

their shape is felt for years

Whilst others sketched so lightly

that with the slightest breeze they disappear

Some words scribed for ownership,

others to live on through their form

But only those inscribed with care

will weather any storm

This is going into my favorites. If so compelled read my poem Chiaroscuro- a glimpse of a moment of my own graffiti lived.
