Love poems

My foolish heart

My heart is made foolish
Feeble and young,
Made to be
Any form you imagine
For like soft red clay
Sticking to my ankles
As I laze on the river bed
You roll me over
Back and forth
Your fingers my judge
My artist and my muse
My savior.

A heart made foolish
Composed of hope
And dreams
Baked sturdy and strong
By days in
Your unrelenting sun

Heightened expectations

Heightened expectations
Can have such a gravity
As to cause an internal calamity
Within a heavy heart.
Because from the very start
I had heard over and over
The words that were driving me
To the very brink of insanity.
