Embattled Heart
Love descends
cascading inward
Groping, grasping
Falling freely
spiraling downward
Reaching, clawing
wounded heart
Love fallen
beaten, battered
lies alone
dying, forgotten
gasping inward
pulse is gone
broken heart
Stiring, rising
upward climbing
trying, flying
Always falling
forever rising
never finished
healing heart
Always returning
turning home
coming back
undefeated
undetered
all the pieces
courageous heart

Hello, this is definitely an emotional expression- a passion some con not express, and you have done a beautiful job here. Thank you.

CMCastro, Thank you again for the kind comment.
Just thought I would stop in again and let you know that I had the idea of "Home" that became a song. If you would like to see the words to that song read my hub, "How My Friends Inspired Me To Write A Song". I find that poets that elaborate on the things that matter most to them.

Thanks CM, I will stop in and read.
This is beautiful. I love the way it tells a story... with a happy ending ( my favorite kind).
You are a very good writer!

Thanks sueroy333, my wife says that she is my happy ending!
I swear I could actually hear drum beats in the back ground while reading your poem. Absolutely magical.

Qudsia, I wrote this while beating a drum! Magic! half a world away and you could hear them.
You put a smile in my face :-), thank you. First a beutiful poem and then your witty commments :-).

Thank you so much for the kind words, Edlira. I will now wallow in the mud of false humility!
Your style reminds me a bit of my own. Dare I say how good it is, after saying that? :-)

Your poetry, Nellieanna, needs no advocate, it has a voice of it's own.
That was to be a testimony to your excellence! But thank you profusely even if I seemed to be fishing! hehe.
The complment was recieved. Perhaps, reception simply hesitates comparison from work I so esteem!
Thank you for the high esteem. It goes both directions, I assure you.
This poem was quite a ride...one I have taken before! Splendid emotional piece!
Hello tnderhrt! Love is quiet a ride, and it's damn hard getting off, but, we jump right back on.
