Poem: Today I'll Open Up My Heart

...another little poem...




Today I’ll Open Up My Heart


Today I’ll open up my heart.
The words will flow, to you from me.
All the feelings, guarded, so,
are clamoring to be free.

No longer can I hold it in,
this all-consuming love that’s here.
Now, like a bird, it’s taking flight,
It can’t be caged, I fear!

In time, it’s grown to over flow…
the flimsy space I thought secure!
And now the words, in freedom fly!
I can’t hold them anymore.

I’ll bare my heart to you, my love.
I’ll take my chances, risk the pain…
relying on the old cliché
of ‘Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained.’

We are away and running now June!!
Another nice poem.
Photos are simple; when you open "new post" there is a bar across the top with lots of icons, click the 2nd last one, then browse your photo files for the one you want,select it and you will get the image/images on your post.
Experiment it's easy!!

Hi again June ~ I thought my brother Peter must have put that info on for you. I may try to use it as well. At least he owned up.
Must have been Bubba's blog about honesty. Cheers

You've both been so good- being so interested in getting me in here!

If things work out for me here I will be re-posting a lot of my poems-etc- from the other one.

So, you write poems too? I clicked on your name but nothing came up!
