At the Center of my World

by Anthony Duvalle   Dec 10, 2008


At the center of my world
There's a photo of a girl
With such a tattered, dirty frame
But a beauty of none the same

At the center of my mind
There is no shackle of time
No lonely sides of the bed
Nor flooding clouds over head

At the center of my eyes
She's my instant sense of right
Perfect even in her flaws
Without a single scrap of wrong

At the center of my soul
There is an ever-burning coal
A fire lit by absent spark
To warm and light my frigid heart

Cause at the center of my heart
There's a perfect piece of art
With such a tattered, dirty frame
But a beauty of none the same

    ^^ great way to wrap it up! going back to the beginning is smart is makes the poem seem complete and done!

    You did great writing this poem, some might say that you tried too hard to rhyme though- not that it matters, you got the feeling across and nailed how it feels when you're with that someone
