Hearts Always Win

Resisting temptation under the scarlet sun
Pushing back love on the highest cliffs
Turning away from portraits of swinging arms
Is this the path, the life your heart choose

She slams the window and locks the door
Letting no one in or out her rotting core

Poetic books scattered upon ivory floor
Love notes hidden behind drawers of lace
Lilies and daisies replacing vases of roses
Photo crumpled and fading in smokes of fire

He drives slowly listening to the beat of the rains
Hoping his love can will her heart to tame

Wild desires clashing into the darkness
Perplexity shutters inside doubting brains
Lonely voices call within the barren walls
Until the foot of love grazes the muddy land

He knocked and closed his eyes in prayer
Not knowing which gift she will prefer

Hands on her knob and pounding silence ahead
She opened the door to where her heart led

Instead of gold or flowers of every season
His mouth kisses her gently without any reason

And so the heart leaps within it's victory
Dancing and laughing all the more hysterically
Ringing bells from gold inscribed temples of love
Hearts always win with that gift from above.
