Come close. I will show you my heart. <br />do not fret if you feel me shiver. <br />of all that is human the most fragile part. <br />it will ripple and gush like a river. <br /> <br />It will beat to the rhythm of steady flight <br />the darkness feeds well on anxiety <br />Causing breath to battle a grip so tight <br />bringing doubt to a moment, s impiety <br /> <br />You can touch, feel how soft and warm <br />caressed by the years of love it has known. <br />Unbeaten by every emotional storm, <br />or empty nest when a fledgling has flown. <br /> <br />Come close. I will show you my heart <br />it is worn and fragile bears many a scar. <br />Tears moisten protecting the finest part, <br />the core where all my best memories are. <br /> <br /> <br />Roan Apr.2008<br /><br />Ann Beard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/come-close/
