Communications of the heart...

Denise Pillay 1991 (Port Shepstone)



In the hush of midnight's embrace, profound,
Where whispered secrets softly resound,
Heartbeats sync like a lover's dance,
Communications of the heart commence.

A symphony of longing takes its flight,
Cravings unfurl in the pale moonlight,
Desire courses through veins like fire,
A primal urge, an untamed lyre.

A language of sensation, pure and wild,
Unfurls within, like a yearning child,
In every touch, in each stolen glance,
The heart bares its passions, takes its chance.

Yet within the tempest of lustful fire,
Lies a battle within, a hidden mire,
For the heart's messages, so crystal clear,
Are often tangled in doubt and fear.

It suffers silently, in shadows cast,
Enduring pains that eternally last,
Misunderstood by minds that cannot hear,
The heart's secret language, crystal clear.

With every beat, it sings its song,
A melody of desires, right and wrong,
Yet the world, it seems, remains aloof,
To the heart's fervent, unspoken truth.

So it carries on its silent plea,
Hoping that someday the world will see,
That beneath the surface, beyond the pain,
The heart's communication is not in vain.

In the depth of yearning's sacred art,
Lies the language of the human heart,
Pure and lustful, it dares to dream,
Of understanding's golden gleam.

Denise Pillay

I'm Denise Pillay, a 32-year-old finance professional with a passion for poetry and literature. Amidst the numbers and charts of the financial world, I find solace and inspiration in the pages of books, where words weave intricate tapestries of imagination. Books have always been my sanctuary, a gateway to escape into other worlds and explore the depths of human emotions and experiences. By day, I navigate the dynamic landscape of finance, but by night, I delve into the realms of verses and narratives, crafting my own thoughts into poetic forms. I'm enchanted by the power of words to evoke emotions, provoke thoughts, and paint vivid pictures in the mind's eye. When I'm not engrossed in the worlds of finance and literature, you'll often find me submerged in the soothing embrace of a swimming pool or captivated by the stories unfolding on the big screen. These activities offer me a different kind of escape, allowing me to unwind and recharge. My journey is a balance of numbers and words, of spreadsheets and stanzas. As I continue to navigate the financial landscape, my heart remains intertwined with the beauty of poetry and the escape that books provide. With each stroke in the water, each page turned, and each line penned, I strive to bridge the gap between the realms of finance and the written word." more…
