FOR THE HEARTBROKEN

Oh you
with a heart
broken like
a discarded mirror
be not vain
for love is only
the true test of life

A gift
in which
are hidden
the sparkling
treasures of life

A feeling
in which
are found
the sweetest
longing of man

A tryst
with which
our destinies are
tied and for
which our haste
is heightened

Be not vain
but sane
for each one
has a fair share
of love.

HEARTFELT LOVE

I rose from
the loneliness
of a heartbreak
to peer into
the mystery of
the future
my fantasy began
with a sigh
that gave life
to my emptiness

I plucked her
like a flower
from a garden
that knew nothing
of manly presence
but so much
of girly innocence
and noble breeding

She of the fragile heart
and humble step
did no harm
and spoke no ill
like a nun
given to none

Pray I must
fast I shall
even for
a thousand years
that you may
be real
and the one
for none but me.

beautiful poems I should say. I also have a number of poems, but I'm still a learner.
I feel you should rearrange the poems and maybe use a special color to restate their significance. Kudos
