My Heart, Trembling Like A Leaf Poem by Rani Turton

My Heart, Trembling Like A Leaf

Rating: 3.9


My heart, trembling like a leaf in the first breeze before the storm
As clouds clash high above
Trembles and shivers in the deepest pain
This then is what is called love

My heart, trembling like a leaf in the scorching sun
Almost dried, almost died
My heart was after all, just a heart
Like others that sighed and cried

My heart, trembling like a leaf under the light of the moon
As nightbirds alighted on branches
Shuddered, as though underneath it saw
A cavalry that onward marches

My heart, trembling like a leaf before a storm
Almost, almost stopped still
All those fanciful theories of being and existing
Couldn’t then this heart fulfill.

There was a leaf that fluttered in the storm
It silently waited for it’s dreams to take form.

A pictorial image of the emotion with beautiful nature analogies, with sun, moon, storm…the last line justifying the whole.. Well penned stanzas… Abha
