Disregard the obvious –
I know how time has marred me
Disregard the glare –
eyes clouded with cynicism
A fledgling heart beats
within this disheveled nest
Come closer and behold
a childlike yearning for love.

One Woman's Quest 
I truly enjoyed this!

I particularly like these lines; they’re such a powerful metaphor:
A fledgling heart beats
within this disheveled nest.

Enjoyed the powerful ending because you have so much seasoned psychology (write like a counselor)

I noticed the combination today too, Derrick – and the first part had a “Poe-like” vibe — nice ending too VJ
