His heart
Was poorly woven
The hard basket fiber, unwilling to smoothly coil
He should have covered his heart when the boughs were green and supple
Then he was too cow, too young to know, the necessity of armor
Her face and the impossible smallness of her hands
Bewitching in their ignorance of the portent they held
Her shape, as if molded from river clay, set in sunlight
How could he realize then
The clamoring of his emotions
Drowning out the part where sense lay
Still and sirene
His heart
Was poorly woven
He did not regret
This fact
TheFeatheredSleep 
Deep and poignant words of poetry. Great
Truly beautiful.
Truly meaningful words!
Beautiful words played vividly in our minds..
Not regretting the lack of armor – the risk and beauty of young love

I love what you did here, such a great indicator of awareness, acceptance, and love:
“Drowning out the part where sense lay

Beautifully well expressed. I’m so in love with this poem.
“What a tangled web we weave … “
Exquisite, beautiful, …. I can’t even find the words for this. Perfection! 💓
It takes a brave soul to be so vulnerable
Simply beautiful.
🙂
Beautifully done. I like the repetition of the opening at the end
“His heart was poorly woven”. I have been touched and in awe of these 5 words and until this morning I wasn’t able to put my mind or heart around it. For me it is haunting and beautiful at the same time. If I believe, as I do, God knew me before I was born, how could my heart be poorly woven?Yet, I see now…scripture never promises us perfection. Many times, the opposite! I fall so short on my walk of faith and fail personally in so many ways. Yet, with faith, despite my heart being poorly woven, I will try. To seek peace for myself and others. Try to help more people in need. Think less about my own selfish needs. God can call those with poorly woven hearts to serve. Listen for His whisper!
I don’t think you’re selfish at all my friend I think you care more than most about people and you really have spent your life helping others. Thank you for reading this. I think many of us have unprotected parts of us that permit us to be vulnerable to hurt, sometimes it feels awful but sometimes it makes us a better person. I think that was the purpose here to show what may seem a flaw may still be what we want because to feel is surely better than to protect our hearts so much we feel nothing?
This is breathtaking, Warrioress. I am always stunned by the beauty in your words even when talking about hard things. ❤
Thank you so much – you know I don’t write about men enough (I should) and so I try sometimes to correct the imbalance (you are so good at writing about women)
Thank you so much dearest Derrick
