douglas Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 the heart breaks and each time it shatters it grows opens up and blooms above all else the heart must break in order to release and contain more than ever imagined remember to never love another more than oneself inner love is boundless it will keep leading you to love forever...

rhymeguy Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 It appears that you are safely in London. I trust all is well with you there. I loved this gentle work. The first verse especially spoke to my heart. Not everyone understands that the pain of a broken heart can result in more beautiful love and an increased capacity to give and recieve love. You are right, We must love ourselves before we can truely love another. Thanks for sharing this lovely thought in such a lovely way. rg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleksandra Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Dear Doug, I am happy to hear that you are all ok at the new life station, I hope you have a new umbrella . this broken heart, sounds nice, and full of hope. But there are always pains when something is broken . But your poem gives a hope. It reminds me of the words and story of one priest, while he was explaining about the other life in the heaven over one old story, really made me to wish to die in that moment, like your poem does, to wish the heart broke . I love your poem. enjoy London my dear Doug.
