Her Heart in Metaphors


She hid her heart
in metaphors
his logical mind
found too abstract.
The beauty of romantic expression
lost when he asked for a translation.

You are so very good :) I love the succinctness. It says so much with so few words. And I feel too often I am that guy asking for translation.

No contradiction at all! expression of love of a girl and guy is always different...

My husband gets the meanings but isn't as excited and impressed by them as I am. Guess thats the difference between a poet and a non-poet ;)
