A Poet´s Heart - Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan
Last night so cold my dear,
I'd been waitin' you came not to my ear
where were you, my love
gone I was shocked, prayed to God above
deepest shocked, my ratio blocked,
my aspirations almost locked
an attack on my mental part
so sad realizing you have from the very start
always a very weak heart
my heart begins to speak and redeems
all the lies for the good truth, it seems
you've understood the conditions
also every awful regulation
Last night I had it so cold my dear,
I'd been waitin' but you did not appear
Poet's Notes about The Poem
A poet´s heart is oft changeable, not be uttered in precise algebraic limited technique, but it will be inspired as the daily breezes blow throughout the four seasons, all the year. But the poetic mind prevails. Thank you for reading and commenting.Could we awaken Emily D. too and could we ask her WHAT REASON WAS IT when you created THE SEA? I have the idea that she has the same reason as I, I reckon. Thankfully yours, Sylvia FC.

I absolutely agree with you that a poet´s heart is oft changeable, not be uttered in precise algebraic limited technique but surely it’s motivated by the soft breezes that he comes across with while s/he or his/her poetic soul perceives throughout the four seasons, all the year and what all you perceive! It’s a very commendable piece of poetry that every reader should relish! A great poem! (Report) Reply

I was shocked, prayed to God above. Where had you gone? I had been waiting for your coming. My aspirations were almost locked and my ratio was blocked. I was under deep shock. An attack on mental part diverted attention and I felt this provoked thought. That time has passed away. Now heart starts to beat with much care. This speaks to redeem from lies and to take towards truth. In cold night dearer has not appeared but warm poetry of wisdom has almost appeared. Very well crafted poem is shared here.10 (Report) Reply

Thank YOU, dear Poet, I am humbly touched and most honored. I thank God and YOU who came here to leave these precious words. God's Blessings are greatest and be upon you with great Abundance. With very best wishes, Sylvia FC
It is a poetic awakening. You suggest that it's time to stop waiting for a false happiness to come galloping over the next horizon. You need more explanations now, knowing that there aren't always fairy tale endings. A sense of serenity is born of acceptance.Wonderful poem. (Report) Reply
