Like Coin, My Heart I Toss Poem by Aphrodite Anastasia Menegaki

Like Coin, My Heart I Toss

Rating: 5.0


There are wishes
There are kisses
There are princes
There are thousand riches
But only one my heart misses
When I try this bridge to cross
Like a coin, my heart to toss
A bridge made of dreams and glass
So fragile yes, but alas!
You are standing at its end
My love, my guide and my friend
What had I ever to lose
In this path I now choose?
What kiss was ever forsaken?
What lust longs to be awaken
Awaken by your touch
A touch that I miss so much!

There are glances and
There are chances
The last we never had I fear
But still I sense you are near
As if each day I can hear
The beating of your heart so clear
As if our story didn't reach the end
As if on the world we won't depend
As if there's more to be said
By fate lives are always led
To unknown paths and places
Through people with two faces
Through those who stand in our way
On the alleys we walk each day

There are sinners and
There are winners
There are zeros and
There are heroes
Those who take a step to their dreams
Those who fear none, it seems
See me, my love, see me now!
See me but never ask me how
How I found the strength to dare
Even if my heart won't bear
How my fears I leave behind
It's your love I want to find
As I step on this fragile bridge
As I find where this journey leads
Will you meet me half way there?
Am I the only one to dare?
Promise me now, my love
Promise me you won't watch me fall
Promise me you'll give me your hand
Promise me you'll help me stand
As I try this bridge to cross
And like coin, my heart I toss…

You wowed me completely with this poem. I simply love it. Why? Because the tone is jaunty and perky but the thought behind the carefree tone is complex. In fact, someone NOT paying close attention to the drift of the stanzas might conclude this is a poem of irresponsible delight. Actually, you express the complexity of entering the world of genuine emotions with outer optimism but inner caution. Your optimism is especially welcome: you will not let fears spoil your high spirits. But you are on your guard. The closing passage may indeed be wish fulfillment, but we need dreams like this one to guide us in the real world: the dreams shows what we truly want and will not settle for anything less. The coin toss symbolizes the force of Fate which looms over us, but also the risks we are willing to take to achieve our dreams.

Once again on this poem, The agony of the flaming heart is pictured by a very clever icon, that of the bridge which makes the pace to the target so visible.The other icon of tossing the heart gives you to feel what on stake.The vital decision concerns the whole life, you thing it is about life or death.Oh yes, death, when a love wxpected fails a life whole fades, a heart droops, withers, schrevels up.And all these you see in front of your feeling, your understanding.A poemto be adrmired for its real poetic values, Kudos Aphrodite.

Dear sir, thank you so much for your wonderful words! ! Indeed, it seems like choosing amongst life & death. Wouldn't worth it to risk all that there is for love?

Loved this poem of love and taking chances. Like tossing a coin into a wishing well and waiting for the one you love to appear. Questioning whether they're the one or if it'll be another. Great energy building imagery in this poem, I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
