In the cavern of my heart, you flow
like a river deep; calling only when
all around is silent.
You’re faint hope, perhaps a flower
or impassioned dream. Let me past
jagged thorns, while world outside
is bound by sleep.
Whispers of love, rekindled flow, as
though gardens that revel in spring.
You’re verse that blooms among my
thoughts, surging through as pulse-
like waves.
Like a prayer sealed upon sweet lips,
you’re moon and sun both wreathed
in one. Perhaps a hymn, as though a
sacred song.
In the cavern of my heart, you flow
like a river deep; calling only when
all around is silent.

The longing in this is wonderful… also love how you paint this in contrast… love is so complicated.. like sun and moon together…
Thank you so much, Bjorn π so glad you liked it β€οΈ
That’s a beautiful poem Sanna ~ such longing so well captured and just love the repeat first and last stanzas … works very well here.

In the cavern of my heart, you flow
like a river deep; calling only when
all around is silent.
That would have been enough for me. It stands all by itself. It could be a song to self. So beautiful. The additional stanzas flow out from this source as would river and find their way home again.
Thank You for this beautiful take on the prompt Sanaa.
Aww!β€οΈ Thank you so much, Paul π so glad you liked it!β€οΈ
‘In the cavern of my heart, you flow

Oh I can hear the hymn of the river with the hint of your words, and both are life-giving.
Thank you so much, Amaya π so glad you liked it β€οΈ
I liked the sound of this: “Youβre moon and sun both wreathed
in one”. Nice formatting of the poem in nearly equal length lines that seemed to flow like the river in the movie.
Thank you so much, Frank π so good to see you β€οΈ
BEautiful refrain Sanaa ~ The stanza starting with whispers of love is my favorite ~ Cool sounds, thanks ~

This is so lovely:
“In the cavern of my heart, you flow
like a river deep; calling only when
all around is silent.”
—I agree with Paul entirely. It’s so beautiful that it could stand all on its own and be enough.
Thank you so much, C.C π so good to see you β€οΈ
Sanaa, this is delightful. It has an almost mythic feel to it. I am reminded of bards of old dancing with their muses and compelled to spill their joy onto a page.
Aww!β€οΈ Thank you so much, Rommy π for your warm and kind comment! β€οΈ
A beautiful piece here , Sanaa. Oh how the heart can feel so cavernous with want for love. I really liked your 2nd stanza. Thanks for another fine poem.

“…like a sacred song … in the cavern of my heart” Your beautiful words accompanied by the sound of tumbling water created a wonderful moment in time!
Thank you so much, Beverly π so glad you liked it β€οΈ
Such a lovely and heart warming verse. I loved the refrain. The accompaniment with the sound of the waters cascading down is well thought. There’s a certain melancholic touch to it which makes reading it such a bittersweet experience. π
Thank you so much, Anmol π so glad you liked it β€οΈ
The calling in the silence has scriptural undertones. Painting the whole scenario blessed
Thanks for dropping by my Sunday Standard today Sanaa

You’ve captured that faint hope so beautifully, here. It may be a faint hope … but it is a powerful, powerful faint hope.
