Set that heart straight
18-Jan-2008
Set that heart straight
So all else aligns,
Stars line up,
Cloud breaks down,
Desert gives up,
welcoming carnation under its sky.
Set that heart straight,
So reckless child calms down,
The beast from inside shuts up,
Haunting ghosts dissolve in paradise-of-heart.
Set that heart straight
So you tame outside
From inside; don't be surprised,
No magician in this house.
Set that heart straight,
Even that wandering
Dog, your mind, stops,
No longer slave at the outside.
Set that heart straight,
So night becomes nicer
With its mysteries, unbuttoning
Its robe, one star light at a time.
Set that heart straight,
So when angels see
A brook in your soul,
Can descend, glorifying the spot.

This was really great. I
by n.zanincanadai on Sun Jan 20, 2008 09:07 PM PSTThis was really great. I love the repitition. It sounds great when you read it out loud and add some intonations to it. Even in serious poetry, why can't you repeat a line a million times if you feel like you need to? I really enjoyed it.

beautiful, except
by Anonymous 100 (not verified) on Sat Jan 19, 2008 01:43 PM PSTA beautiful poem. But in my humble opinion, it would probably be better if "Put that heart straight" hadn't been repeated at the beginning of each stanza. It was ok it was a lyric poem, written for a song. But this is a serious poem.
Respectfully
Beautiful imagery!
