A Heart Like Mine - My Poem - Bee Gees Song
Poetry that comes from the writer's heart of things she has seen or come to know about, sharing what that heart has learned.
Celebrating Love
What better way to start the year, than celebrating our love on Valentine's Day?
I wrote this poem about six years ago and when pouring over it to get it said just how I wanted it to twist and turn (as I usually do in my poetry for interest). I then came across a song from long ago. I had heard this beauty but had forgotten it and it so brought my poem right together.
It said exactly what I meant. When it is said there is nothing new under the sun I tend to believe it. It may have a different look or words but has the same meaning. It was one of those experiences poetry has given me many times now in my short writing career. Something that alone makes it all worthwhile.
The only thing better then is sharing that with my friends and get their opinion, hoping it does the same for them. Please give the song a shot after the poem. I think you will love it.
Thanks!
Somewhere in This World is a Heart Like Mine
A Heart Like Yours
A Heart Like Mine
I have been searching what seems a lifetime
For a love that I would know when I found
I already have the love inside my heart
Yet searching the whole wide world around
I was born with this love, it has always been
Just yearning for the other half of me
I would never give up this amazing feeling
Even though, sometimes, it hurts to be
I will know when I find the one who is right
The one that will make me so complete
Then I will know all the years were not
Useless, for this heart of mine, to beat
In pain looking at times and wondering
When will I ever in this life find
One who I have been waiting for
The one my heart has in mind
No, I cannot imagine the face, nor try
Looks are a very silly thing, in love
Most look there and many will fail
Love is a feeling somewhat as a glove
It will wrap around you and keep you
Warm and safe, now and forevermore
Protect you from the world to be secure
Never leave you ever, be all you waited for
I will know when I have found my true love
Oh… and knowing it will be so very fine
Knowing the one who will be searching too
Will be the other half, of a heart like mine
So Many Bleeding Hearts
A Heart Like Mine
