Soothing A Broken Heart Poem by Alan Kabanshi

Storms of love
Thunder to rip my heart
My mind empty to blossoming thoughts of you
A dear and lovely lily
Sprouting to your beauty I have been enslaved
For years you possessed my head
Now you captured my heart
Mine a life yours is calling
For to you is falling
Two hemispheres stumbling to stable
That Faith in love is their embrace
Fulfilling a feeling of rhythmic love space
With all rejections giving a heart to a poisonous pace
Confusion scourging my sanity, for who then shall take your place?
Erect and rooted am blessed with your grace
A woman giving a smile to a worn face
Hope to a weighed down spirit
And light to my feet
That even though I tread in doubt
Much happiness is abound
