Heart's Delight Poem by Dónall Dempsey
Heart's Delight
The kite
clutched to your chest
as if your heart
had escaped
glorying in yellow
& red
your fingertips
releasing it to the sky
where like
a prayer
searching for a God
it knew
it flew
like a wish
lost between clouds
now impossible now real
my heart now too
dancing next to you
we chase each other
across a vast immensity of blue
kite tails
twirling like laughter
spiralling with delight
cutting the sky
into shapes
that shift
and change
entangled now
brought back to earth
out of breath
we run
gather the other’s
heart
into our trembling
hands
souls embodied
now
still in the sky.
Oh Donall this is just so touchingly beautiful. Both imagery and tale tangle together in my heart and my soul flies through all those wonderful skies of symbolism and real love. You've got my heart on a string and you just pull it in. love GinaXXX

As always, when you speak of love, you twine the words around my heart, just like the tail of this kite...flying freely into that blue sky, and gathered up by you! Beautifully told, tenderly written...love as it should be!
