Alfresco Heart

Alfresco Heart

Alfresco heart.
I owe you so much.
Oh how you want me
In sunshine to be
Under only such shades
That are cool open glades
You provide me room to grieve
and relieve my gloom
But never throw me in
To the darkroom
Of doom.

A canopy of stars.
Shines on my scars.
Silver cool touch
Caresses not crutch.

You want my festers to heal
To let out the pus
You invite the new
And reinvent us.

Alfresco heart
Content to be
Lovelorn and free
In your bonhomie.

Still hopeful  heart
In beats and in starts
Runs the end of my race
More than lover's  embrace.

Love
Under a tree
A rock
A lonely spot
A communion
Of soul
With its own silken thoughts.

A do as you please
A silk threaded breeze
A love you too much
A more human touch

Than lover's arms to hold me
A call inside that guides me
That pulls me out of the safe womb
Shines light through the darkest tomb

Alfresco heart
Liberates and guards
Frees me from all
To answer one call

The call of our deepest emotions
Our need for beauty
The search for vocation
Our sacred duty is much more
Than an occasion

To bask in the sun
Of a delightful one
Run my love run
Stay under this Sun
It Shines through time
For each and everyone.

Life is a race
Heart times it with grace
The clock long since wound.
To fly straight off the ground.

The beat in my chest.
says I survived this test.
And till death does me drop.
This true heart won't stop.
