Heart to Heart



Magnetism doesn’t get 

to hold one heart 

to another forever. 


There will be tears 

that fall, corroding 

the bare surface of love;


the scorching heat 

of anger weakens 

the bond one to another, 


only in the icy cold of need, 

clinging to each other,

the bond will be strengthened


Magnetism, in that first blush of excitement 

needs belief, shelter and kindness 

for that first blush to bloom.


“I believe there is a subtle magnetism in Nature which, 

if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright.”

~ Henry David Thoreau
