Daily doses of sincerity
held in hugs,
Meander through to where
it beats.
Vestibules and ventricles
of welcome,
Tendrils of tenderness
caress and kiss.
Considerate ways always mean
so much,
Bouquets of scented words
tied in bows.
Flutters of heartiness
grasp one’s breath,
Acts of kindness never
cease their surprise.
Strengths of love rest
comfortably in situ,
Hearts bonded by the most profound
depths.

brilliant. I really like this one and I will come back to reread a few more times.
ReplyDeleteBonding of the heart can always be made in wonderful ways! It relates to emotions which has a way to cushion a fall and mends itself! Rightly said Eileen!
