My Rough Imperfect Heart
Here sits a wood and leather box
inside which lies a treasure.
I keep it there, for it's not often needed.
I've given up this trinket to a few.
Each time it's returned
the edges are more pitted,
enamelled surface chipped in places
vibrant, previous, with color.
Its once-perfected form sports chinks
never intended by nature.
And this imperfect heart,
marked by long living,
roughened by hard loving,
is the blemished jewel I hold here
in the hollow of my hand
and offer now to your safekeeping.

This makes me think of one of my hearts. (grin) I love the story too. I do not like to do narratives for all my work, but the hearts are fun to write.

Gina, "Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart." ~ Washington Irving This heart is all the more valuable for its imperfections. Beautiful sentiment and imagery. voted
