(Almost a Sestina) Hearts to Bear

Hurt runs deep, born through all to blossom

From bone does seep, memories of woe

The aspects of pain, some warm the heart

Melodious tones do undo the wear

Music of suspense may be suspect

Bringing about pain, ‘merged to wonder

Stanza 2

Old bones of tone question wonder,

Can pain recede for love to blossom?

When love is wronged is of suspect

Matters of heart molded to woe

Trapped in shadows, alone, cold to wear

Where jokers tear out at the heart

Stanza 3

Coins and dust will break a young heart

Sweeping veins with dust ruins wonder

Can hope achieve and relight wear?

Or love once undo to blossom?

Be it fallacious or to woe

Is choice of love really suspect?

Stanza 4

When wrongs are made there is suspect

That scars don’t fade within the heart

That long lasting is pain from woe

Flowering forth with wicked bloss’m

Not faded there is no wonder

For all the life there is that wear

Stanza 5

With purple gowns to dress and wear

A young girl’s heart can be suspect

To fade in pain or rise in bloss’m

Repeated flames that dwell in heart

Can they last it is to wonder?

Erasing shadows of newborn woe

Stanza 6

Final remnants of lasting woe

Erasing of heart its scarred wear

And opening gates of new wonder

But real change is to be suspect

Now final health of lone torn heart

Miraculous light now heart’s bloss’m

Envoy

Is there no hope but woe to wonder,

For closets that sealed cherubim daughters?

To exploit the blossom and to bear the wear

Of heart suspect by shadows encounter.
