Only One Heart is Home

by N J Thornton   Oct 6, 2005


Tears bead softly through torn eyelashes
Fond memories effervesce in time
Skin tastes salty to a final kiss
And fade does the toast of red, red wine

Though a silent heartbeat needs soothing
Coal fires cannot warm a broken soul
Entirety has a fond meaning
When cupid hit, it branded a hole

No matter how tender a sunset
Sunrise of the mind is at distance
Self-folded arms shield the space within
To remove distress from existence

Remembering being half of a whole
And the security that was known
Now looking to the looming future
It seems that only one heart is home
