”IF”… A challenge from A frank Angle

~ thereluctantpoet

Come read Holly’s great poem “IF” and enjoy the embedded song – Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye!

House of Heart

I’ve unfolded us like origami,

exposed shadowed corners of secrets,

forced them into the light to mourn

like sacred bones of birds.

I have Conquered both hemispheres,

cast chaos out to sea.

Rearranged us where every memory

is not an ache beneath my ribs.

Let me hold you just once more,

IFit don’t work out

*then you can tell me goodbye.

*Then you can tell me Goodbye”  by the Casinos

Try “Love” once

~ thereluctantpoet

Come read Megha’s “Try Love Once”!

Go Dog Go Café

Try something new in the month of Love.

fabrizio-verrecchia-195644.jpgThey say you are hopelessly romantic
nothing can come out of all this waiting
waiting for a glance or a passing touch
They say bare your heart and soul
bare it all
if you want the love to come your way
at all

Love doesn’t come to weak or meek
It doesn’t come to those who don’t seek
It comes to those who are brimming with courage
courage to flaunt the scarred heart
Once they are left behind

Love needs a lot of courage to get hurt
The blush of on your cheeks
can slowly turn into a bleeding heart

You are so lucky to fall in love
once in a while
you get to feel the eternal feeling
simmering you from inside

It makes you feel more alive
than you ever were.
don’t feel left out on that
beautiful chance
Come just try…
