Hello Heart

Hello, my heart.
I want to help you.
When love knows only one way

Do your choices leave dints
In a stunted woman, worried
She’ll be tacked without virtue?

Don’t seize that heart,
A fiend’s thorny guard.
Tease what captures you.

Homes a relief, ruminating by
Lamp’s hopeful glow, hanging
Inside shades warm embrace.

Fall down, then rise again,
Defenseless as a dove.
That is what love renders.

You are spellbound,
Hollowed and gypsied.
The baptized child for God.
