Matters of the Heart

I wrote this poem 2 years ago...It helped me to get through a lot.

Matters of the heart
A heart full of love
Luminous in the dark of day
Yearning for balance in the midst of pain
First kiss
First love
First date
First hug
First part of matters of the heart
Rose-colored glasses soon fade
All lies come from the shade
Deception, pain, sorrow engulfs love's burning flame
Leaving the ashes so black and gray
Reality sets in, light begins to emerge
Wind picks up and ashes soon catch flight
Waiting for the spark so that it may ignite
Who can keep this flame burning bright?
Next part of matters of the heart
Love feels that the wick is almost out
Yet God pours out his blessings
Giving hope, faith, and belief that without a "shadow" of a doubt that this is his plan for me
Realization that true love begins with me
More light embracing
Another part of matters of the heart
The fiery flame burning bright with intensity
Found its niche, so lovely and daring
Uncontrollable burning desire called real love
No longer involved in the pain it once was
Now a torch of continuous light, never burning out with God by its side
So much more to learn in life's lessons
Another one of God's many blessings.
