there’s a new pinhole in my heart

it’s so small no one can tell

but it’s there, a tiny hole

piercing my heart

it hurts

that little pinhole

it lets out light, it lets out love

it lets out what I am afraid to admit

that I care and feel

and want my heart to be full of you

from side to side

yet, instead

you have pricked me

and it hurts

    I love the play between the art and the poem here.

    I have often thought that blue is the color of love: the artwork captures that mood, plays off of the connection between our psyche and nature, and creates a emotional context which is both restrained and powerful.

    Good work.

    Oh, my. Oh. my. Thank you for putting into words — and so beautifully — what I’ve felt. This soars.

    C replies: Thanks. Simple is best. Like an arrow on target …
