My Open Heart

My heart is always open
for anyone to come and reside,
I welcome everyone with an open mind, without expectations,
or prejudice,
nor laden with any preconceived snide

Some stay for few moments,
few occupy my heart for days,
some come and go at their ease,
and few stays for solace and peace

I never carry any grudge
for the one who chooses to go,
nor judge any for what they say,
as I smile and greet them all,
with no inkling of any expectations fray

But then once it so happened,
when she entered my heart unannounced,
and succeeded in finding the key to my soul,
to remain forever in my pneumaโ€™s enclave

She consumes me in her elixir,
and capture me in her magical spell
at times appears through a smile on my visage,
or chose to glitter through my aberrant eyes

She never leaves me,
even when she decides to depart
She always stays,
even when she walks away from my loving heart

  1. Aww, this is beyond beautiful….shows the generosity of the love and yearnings for a lost love. But who would leave and go a beautiful heart like that?

  2. Lovely! When you found that person who will never leave you no matter what.. it must be true love!

  3. Aww! Such a generous heart. And it still remembers the one who touched and left it with fondness. But I guess love never truly leaves. As even when it departs, it leaves behind a bag of memories, some secret smiles and beautiful moments to cherish in dark.
