Heart Under Glass

Heart Under Glass

Your heart full of fire burns
Maintaining love in contained embers
Our chosen path in life changes,
Pain, the resultant force, closes us.
Full potential lies in wait,
A slow and steady longing.
In silence, it glows
Waiting for sweet release from your
Heart Under Glass.

Encountering one special soul
In tune with our desires
Conceivable connections
Fan the reticent glow
Bitter angst intrudes
Rather than hold fast
Tender, yet potent longing
Is forever buried in your
Heart Under Glass.

What others don’t glimpse
I am cognizant of
Your strength of spirit
And your abiding love.
I see through your walls of glass,
And long to set you free to experience and
Share your heart, love, and desire,
Senselessly long buried in your
Heart Under Glass.
