Please Don't Break A Poet's Heart

Please don't break a poet's heart, the Universe would cry - don't take his words and scatter them, on stony ground to lie. Those words are plucked from angels' wings and crystals set in snow - from all those soft and tender things upon the earth below. He catches them from falling rain and from the stars above - then gently with his pen he moulds and nurtures them with love. Don't ever seek to steal his soul and treat it with disdain - For he would bleed a stream of tears And could not bear the pain. (If perchance you find me weeping Lost in sorrow and despair - Whisper softly words of comfort, Tell me that you really care) . Please don't break a poet's heart the earth would cease to turn - then all eternity would fade the sun no longer burn. ©️12/8/2024 Valerie Dohren
