The Heart's Voice (collab)

by Baby Rainbow & Wild flower   Feb 14, 2013


If your heart had the gift of speech,
tell me what would it say?
Would the words sound the same
as the ones from your lips,
or would they contrast like
the sun and the rain?

The answers to your questions
forever will be hidden, for I am the
gift you were given. Listen carefully
for what I have to say, or in pain you
must always stay.

If your heart had the gift of
voicing how it feels,
tell me with whom would it share?
Would it echo far across the land
for everyone to hear,
or would it remain a silent mute
for the world to misunderstand?

But you are the one who must decide
which route your heart will take.
Being misunderstood is your choice,
don't miss your only chance..

If your heart had the gift of communicating
with the voices of your mind,
would you compromise
or agree to disagree?

We fall into the habit
which becomes a life routine,
where the mind must blame the heart
and the heart must blame the mind.

A Flower/Rainbow production :)

    Ok I know this is random, I was reading over my old poems, and I came across this. I immediately came to PnQ and searched the title, for some reason I freaked out when I actually found it :)

    I was wildflower at that time. This brought back so many memories!!

    The flow is a bit odd, at first, in places where I see thematic punctuation (mainly commas) could have been used. As the poem goes on, that is more than made up for by colorful words and and a stunningly deep theme. I have to say that this is a piece that will truly leave me thinking and wondering. I appreciate you sharing it with us, Baby Rainbow and Wild Flower.

    This is amazing, girls...you are friggin awesome! This is so thought provoking.

    If your heart had the gift of speech, tell me what would it say? Would the words sound the same as the ones from your lips, or would they contrast like the sun and the rain?

    ^ I Love how direct the opening was, all those questions...

    The answers to your questions forever will be hidden, for I am the gift you were given. Listen carefully for what I have to say, or in pain you must always stay.

    ^ How true is this? Questions are not always answered, but I love this way of wording that and how your saying, listen to me.

    If your heart had the gift of voicing how it feels, tell me with whom would it share? Would it echo far across the land for everyone to hear, or would it remain a silent mute for the world to misunderstand?

    ^ More questions, beautiful wording, all the thoughts just ponder over, awesome

    But you are the one who must decide which route your heart will take. Being misunderstood is your choice, don't miss your only chance..

    ^ I love this! Wow...so inspirational. So direct and to the point

    If your heart had the gift of communicating with the voices of your mind, would you compromise or agree to disagree?

    ^ Oh yes

    We fall into the habit which becomes a life routine, where the mind must blame the heart and the heart must blame the mind.

    ^ What a powerful way to end.

    Girls you smashed it. Love it.
    Inspirational, beautiful, powerful, awesome

    Beautiful collab! I love the flow and the metaphor of a speaking heart. I also love the urgency of the speaker because the choice is life-changing, even though the person the speaker's addressing seems reluctant. Very nice work, girls!
