My Heart

We have to recite a poem in english class on Friday. We had two options: write your own poem, or recite one from another author. I decided to try my hand at what I call extreme alliteration. I hope someone likes it! :P


My heart harkens to the hard harmony
Of his harsh words
Willing me to weep
I willow and wither, writhing
In pain--piercing precious
Will
To love life and liberty:
The liberty to love like a leech:
Extracting emotion and ever extracting
Till time turns to timed ticks on a timer
Repeatedly reminding me of
The lack of love I have for life
When it lacks his love. And the last
Bit
Of will to stay away is wished away
And my heart aches
When he mutters the melody
That makes me melt
And wills me to weep.
I willow and wither, writhing
In sweet torment, sweetly tormenting.
And the will
To love life and liberty
Returns. For the Royalty that resides
In my heart
Reminds me with resounding reassurance
That surely the sun someday will shine
Because
In my heart stays a Savior.
