Heart-heavy Ink by Heather Miles I am a hunter of enamored souls. A seeker of truth, in the rawest of emotions and devilish smiles. I’m drawn closer to the riddled charms of captive hearts. I’m a mirror of their wants and desires. A framed version of dreams unmet. Look closer at the image before you, and you’ll find all that you wanted in me. All that you wanted in you. I’m no mirage. I am smooth flesh and fantastical words used to capture more than your heart and head. I am tempo and tone, soft edges and hard limits. My silence is louder than my words, and just as claiming...just as calming. Dreams hang like lockets around the necks of lovers, burdened with past failures and second chances. Innocence, has no place here. The tide of yearning won’t recede. There’s no hiding in the belly of love. I’ve come to far to sacrifice my truth or settle on coal when it’s diamonds I seek. My manifesto is written in the heart-heavy ink of my past and future. My hunger grows with every promise, every well-played word, and the simplest of smiles. I am no longer the leader, but a follower of hope. I’ll feed you my prose, and devour your desires just to make you whole. There’s no stealing what’s given. It’s all up to you! #poetsofinstagram #poetry #heartheavyink #writersofinsta #wordsthatbreathe #poemsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt1mRARgbQ3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w1nz6miz2xy0
