A love that is deep

Latin X 1967 (Philadelphia)



My heart is like a stone  difficult to penetrate.

It’s not full of hate.
I fear my gentle heart to break.
There’s a love I contemplate.

A love as pure as a child’s love.
Love as beautiful a dove.

Like two doves in a pond we’ll meet.
Our lips will unite for a kiss so sweet.
Creating a love that’s deep.

    ✨️✨️✨️✨️ I noticed that even nature uses tough shells to shield the most fragile and precious things.

      very true. Some of the toughest exteriors have a fragile heart.
      I have said in the past that poets have one thing in common and that’s pain.
