Float inside, around and through my heart
You'll find memories glued underneath other memories
So no one will know they are there
….but me
Memories too precious, painful
To be left in the open
Draw near my heart and gaze at all that is around you
There's brown eyed babies happily calling for mommy
A humble man on his knees praying and believing deeply in his wife
Dreams still trying to bloom, desires kept in undisclosed places
Something so beautiful you'll want to leave my heart immediately
Glimpses so intimate you'll close your eyes
Dreams of my children, my husband
Too divine to look at with earthy eyes
Inside of me whispers of a world. A secret world.
There's laughing children and praying men,
screaming fathers and crying mothers.
A childhood scorched with tears and fears and nightmares.
Yet love poring into every fracture and splintering edge.
Every piece of my heart is gently pieced back to itself with utmost affection.
You'll find a world you may not be ready to linger in.
But you're welcome to try.
Because maybe, just maybe you'll make it your home.
And,
You could be the one to find it home,
while you're on your knees, praying and believing….
