Life, as I see it, flowing through my heart and thus through my words...

A set of poems about love, life and broken vessels

(: Soon to be published :)
Rein in my love, oh heart, For it is already full, Like the tides of the ocean, That rises in without a lull, My heart refuses to stop Loving you, even when it hurts.
Rein in my fears, oh heart, For my legs can't stand much longer, Like the rain that pelts the garden, It is getting stronger, My heart refuses to see, That you are the root of my fear.
Rein in my lust, oh heart, For my eyes can't stay innocent forever, Like the fire that yearns for the sky, It spreads like a rebel, further and further, My heart doesn't stop, Wanting you, even when I shouldn't.
Rein in my anger, oh heart, For my hands are bleeding in clenched fists, Like the merciless wind that blows all, It tears itself apart, My heart won't stand still, Longing for you, even when consumed with hate.
Rein in my joy, oh heart, For my body thrums with it, Like the morning dew that washes the night's grime, It cleanses my soul, My heart soars, Smiling through the pain, delirious with sinful joy.
Rein in my pain, oh heart, For my whole being trembles with it, Like the hail that wreaks havoc on a snowy night, It breaks me into pieces, My heart didn't falter, Laughing, even when the knife pierced it through.
This poignant reminder keeps me awake, Even through the most peaceful nights, That my one love is long gone, And is not coming back. The trees bow, weighing with sorrow, The fires burn out in resignation.
The skies sing in melancholic waves, The water weeps, resting on my lap. The leaves rustle against my face, As I sit on the banks, my eyes a bottomless pit. I look over at the rift, a clockwork that never ceased, And see nothing but darkening skies.
I'm alone in my world, I realize This constant throbbing my only companion, I nurse my wounds in silence, Feeling the depth of love, And the surface of hate Collide into one in my collapsing planet.
And with final breath, I manage to choke out, A keen cry for help, That heart-wrenching scream tearing it down, But I relieve the pain, That pain that pierced me, over and over.
That poignant reminder... that I loved you once.
