The shape of a heart

The shape of a heart

What then are the contours of love –
Except the reassuring circumference of your soft asylum.
Just as our embrace is like an ocean without shores
that we are two souls with one will
- To love.

  1. Simply, amazing.

  2. Love like this seems such a big thing for a tiny heart to hold. The feeling generated by your words is such a big thing to grow out of a handful of words.

  3. Everytime I get back to your blog, there’s this blessed feeling of deja vu.. It’s like gulping in an incessant supply of sweet, fresh air, with just the right amount of tanginess and the soft strains of delightful music being played at just the right distance away.. or maybe, it’s like taking a dip into nature’s most pristine stream and being immersed in holy literal brilliance! The way emotions balloon out from your poem is breathtaking.. It’s as if the words curve themselves into the shape of a heart…
    Thank you so much for sharing..

  4. I love your posts.

    BTW, do you do the pictures/paintings/illustrations yourself?
