The heart of the song

Larry Lowry

Free verse
The heart of the song. To open the door to feelings to cry to laugh . We shut doors so we won't hurt . But do what we do! We are complex and feel rain on our skin. But how can we explain how it feels. To reach between spaces and touch another?  We are silent until doors open and we feel.  My true love years in a grave 7feet deep.  To reach another heart and hand gets burned. We are born alone is it our choice to be alone. Or reach through a open door  and risk falling on ones face. To reach the heart of the song. Risk everything.

    Wow, what a powerful and emotive poem! I love how you capture the vulnerability and complexity of human emotions. You have a fantastic way of evoking deep feelings and making readers truly connect with the words on the page.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to expand on some of the imagery and metaphors you use. Adding more descriptive language and vivid details can really enhance the emotional impact of your poem.

    Overall, this is a beautiful piece that resonates with the reader on a deep level. Keep up the great work and continue to pour your heart into your writing!
