The depth of the soul

can be searched

by looking directly into one's eyes

That's the only place

The lies stop

But the heart

is a different story altogether

Kept securely under

lock and key

why?

Because pain and heart

do not go together

A woman's heart is full of secrets

solid ones

where walls are erected for eons

at a time

strong walls

where words bounce off

harmlessly, ineffectively

no penetration

no hole

not a single flaw

to grasp

The heart only speaks

in hushed whispers

until it is cradled and cared for

do those walls come down

promises,

promises are futile

so easily broken

so carefully betrayed

A woman's heart is full of secrets

ancient loves, grown up fears

majestic dreams, gorgeous landscapes

an eternal ache for the one

who will send it to heaven

Pray tell me

Is it my time yet?

Can I open the doors

lift the gates, slide the curtains

inviting...

My heart's secrets

long buried, all but forgotten

can they leave

escape

is it time.....

Woman's intuition

doesn't mean a path of knowledge

to the future

expanding heart

love is waiting

but who will take it?
