My Eager Heart

by The Queen of Spades   Jun 6, 2007


My eager heart
Is a rose
Trapped
In a yellow-tinged vase
Water seeping
Out of transparency
Sliding, or rather
Slithering
Like a serpent
Filled with lusty greed
No matter
That the porcelain cracks
Absorb the moisture
Pitiful
In its crimson desire
It is a love
Domestic
In all its evaporating glory
Eager is my heart
To do its will

    This was an interesting style, I found the shorter lines to be quite effective on this one actually. The flow a little off in some places no enough to shatter the poem though. Powerful wording none the less this was a good read~mel

    I really liked the poem I thought the meaning was great and the flow and word choice as well. I think we all try and make the right choices and serve our hearts well. Excellent write 5/5

    This poem has an awesome flow, and great metaphors. Also I sense a very deep meaning reaching past the heart and mind into the soul
