Slip-Away Heart

dream of years of acceptance, a tribute to
my heart, nestled in too many rejections
a heart sliping away

in tiny degrees of shame;
i unbutton my flea market cotton dress &
make love to the cool kitchen floor

that begs my heart to stay.

  1. "She dreams of years of acceptance" opens my heart. "Nestled in too many rejections" does too.

    When I first saw "No Comments" in the same font as your poem, I thought you meant you wanted no comments. Maybe you could leave off the word no.

  2. Thank you, Sabra for your comments. And OMgosh, it does look that way! I have to try and change that. Because I love comments.

  3. I seems that heart of yours however many times rejected, has never been broken...

  4. It seems the majority of poets today have taken a similar path... This is a very desolate poem, in my opinion, and one that I like very much.

  6. Hi Mariya, I noticed each poem appears to center around the heart. Ty.
