My Heart Astray

by Danielle Mc Henry - Aquarius

I know, that I am loved utterly and completely…
	With no question, no limit….
I know, that I am cherished beyond words…	
	With such abandon, such surrender…
I know, that I am someone’s life and I hold his dreams…
	So pure, so unmistakable…
		My soul basks and exults…

To have such love, such passion offered at my door…
To have refuge and a haven at my invocation…
To have a constant unwavering guide silently in watch, quietly in pace 
	With my little journeys and silly treks…
		All these in my life, I am in such awe….
		        To be truly blessed…

I chant my Life is replete, my soul is content…
	Everyday, every moment I declare such….

And yet…My heart is not home…


I love thee with warmth and fondness….
	Not with the passion and fervor my heart can bestow…
I think of thee in every thought with joy and buoyancy…
	Not with a hunger or craze my heart can hold…
I cherish thee very dear and close to my heart…
	Not with the all consuming yearning and longing I thought…

My heart is not with thee….
	Not completely……
	There is an ache it feels…..	
	A hollow hidden yet deep…
	It craves and pines for ultimate passion…
		Intense and undeniably gripping…

My heart is not with thee…
	It is astray……

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this while contemplating a relationship.  I felt I had the love and am loved that anyone could wish for but yet...something was missing...the agony lies in breaking away from a relationship and fearing ...what if it was the one?
