Peeling away the layers of an onion,
that have been for years a companion,
avoid, in it are the frozen tears!
Past was a lovely and pleasing smile,
present is teasing and too fragile,
future doubtful, has so many fears!
Let the layers do their job and hide,
no core, just a sleeping dormant tide,
layers are keeping portraits of dears!
Heart is heart don't treat it as onions,
deposits are memoirs of friendly unions,
let the heart beat with all its gears!

Micropoem. - Poem by Marie Shine
Like an onion
a heart has many layers
Only love can peel them away
to reveal the core)
Past was a lovely and pleasing smile, present is teasing and too fragile, future doubtful, has so many fears! Quite true! These lines give the sum of human life. After the beautiful years of childhood and youth, we enter the mid years of crisis and tension and wait for the uncertainty of old age.!

Wow. So amazing definitely. Peeling out onion is humorous here. Yes heart is heart definitely. This beats spontaneously and conveys new born's message wonderfully. A marvelous work shared.10
