A heart of stone
I've so long embraced.
My stubborn nature made me immovable,
Even with the touch
Of your gentle hands.
My heart constantly cries out,
That's life's appointment with me.
Be moved no more
By any such thought of emotion
For pain shall be your devotion.
Don't be deceived by life's feigned affections
For your responding is naught but deception.
Like quicksand, the intention
Is only to devour you,
So hold back on all expressions.
Deep inside, though, I knew there was a longing,
As my heart, I grew weary of shunning.
That emptiness needed a filling
From only ONE for a new beginning,
So I bowed my head and went a kneeling.
Rajnish, thank you for your remarks, and you are most welcome.
Even if it was a heart of stone, there is always scope for resilience and 'That emptiness needed a filling'. Thanks for sharing this sentimental poem. Thanks.
