Intermission Poem by Heather Marie Mortimer

Intermission

Rating: 4.4


Lay low, my heart, for just awhile
And rest in sorrow's healing grip
For bitter pain brings bitter smile
To reanimate my frozen lip

And I will cry my tears of brilliant jewel
And hold each one dear, in my dear breast
To stoke the flames of winters' fuel
In which my cold heart may find some rest

What a poet would not do for art!
When Hell and Heaven shine just as bright
For broken or burning, it is still a heart
Which reflects the beauty beyond my sight

It is not love, nor lust, nor loathe I feel
It is that burning pain, which a wound can heal
