My Heart Is A Man Poem by John G. Nelson

My heart is a man,
For every pains & tears he cries,
every Harsh winds, getting him dry
sorrow, hurts & sadness, befalling..
Make it harder, taking breath below.

My heart is a man, a hidden treasure,
He Hides secrets in silence sealed….,
Fights emotions with lances & shields,
to conceal face from shame & guilt.

He lives solemn vows in faded loves
His quest for love, spills & kills him,
finding himself, creating relationships
screaming noble acts of faith & loyalty.

His anxieties savage by fear & doubt
fierce sun, rains feeding his ambitions
while love of freedom & hope abates.
Stronger desires, it has reasons to rise.

Dare not be poor, searched for riches
Honor his pride & uphold his dignities
Sense his worth, rank in higher places
Yet, held in captivity by love, by lass.
