You know, this one might be a world record for me: a MWC posted less than 24 hours after I had found out about it. Of course, this is easier to do with poetry. I put most of my time and effort into "Thief of my Heart", the other was only a silly bit of doggerel that popped into my head. Strangely enough, both entries were equally popular.

The hint

Chocolate is fattening,
Cut flowers are dead.
If you forget my present,
I'll have to take your head.


 


Thief of my heart

I feel like I've known you forever.
I feel like you're part of my soul.
When you leave, you take part of me with you,
And I never again seem quite whole.

I laugh as I call you the Thief of my heart,
You smile as you whisper, "I know."
And the same Free Spirit that brought you to me,
Is the spirit I now must let go.

I stand like a fool as I watch you depart,
And I pray you will someday return.
A lifetime of second chances,
For a lesson I may never learn.

That although you cannot tame a Raven,
Nor tell her not to roam;
The greatest treasure she's searching for,
Just might be -- a home.


We haven't had very much poetry in the MWC's so far, I think this is the third. Before that there were the Haikus and the song lyrics. I must say though, I enjoy a bit of verse from time to time.
