poem: BATTLES OF THE HEART

Again, my heart is bruised
By the persistence of
A sharp mind
Prying through the depth
Of my mind
Unravelling decade old
Scars of sour love
Buried, deep in my
Iron cast mind
And sealed with lead

Now fate bid me
Tear down the
Berlin wall of my heart
That it may heal
And love may once again
Flow and flourish

Fate urges me
To keep step with faith
That all’s well,
Will end well

I ponder the offer
Should I again shirk?
Taking control of
My romantic destiny
Or accept the prodding of fate
Allowing my heart
Overrule my head?

I ponder...
