Love Poem: My Heart and Spirit

My Heart and Spirit

There is a painting at the art gallery, I have a strong affection for; it is a man that calls me from the past, in the year 1670 lived this nobleman. Long dark hair falls to his shoulders, a strong face with fathomless eyes; eyes full a passion and desire, he does not smile, yet I adore him. I want to reach out to him, he seems to see me, beckon to me; come to me- he whispers, aristocratic is his demeanor, dignified. O, but could I step within the frame, be in his world- in his time; we would hold hands in silence, for he would know without question . . . my heart and soul are his forever. ___________________________ November 11, 2012 Poetry/Narrative/My Heart and Spirit Copyright Protected, ID 11-435-073-11 All Rights Reserved, 2012, Constance La France
