Softly, gently she collects your heart <br />Almost without you noticing it <br />Carefully she stores them inside her <br />In a room made to fit them all <br />Comfort comes to cradle them <br />The shattered pieces all gathered <br />To slowly place each one in a net <br />Sealed with a kiss to strengthen <br />Wrapped in wings of golden feathers <br />She talks in whispers to heal them <br />Tenderness poured daily upon scars <br />Passion builds their future on warmth <br />Hurt and loneliness chased away <br />By desire back to shadowed lands <br />No home here for sorrow only joy <br />The keeper of broken hearts cries <br />Her tears of life upon your soul <br />As she expands her heart with love<br /><br />Fiona Davidson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/keeper-of-broken-hearts/
