Poetry / Mi Corazon (Analysis)
I follow my heart
down a winding road,
Over hills and valleys
my love does go.
My heart leads me blindly
like through night everyday.
My eyes cannot see
for the love in their way.
I follow my heart
and I follow my breath.
They’re both caught in my throat,
though I won’t choke to death.
My heart leads me to the edge
of a tall rocky hill.
Love beckons me gently
and I jump of my own will.
My heart soars like raptors
whose wings catch the wind.
And I ride on faith that love
will lift me up once again.

The only suggestion I can give is that since you are rhyming having more of a structure and form to the poem could help it greatly.

Although it was touching and very original, it didn’t quite flow in a few minor sentances.
“I jump of my own free will”
I jump on my own free will or I jump by my free will.
“my love does go”
maybe… My love oh so flows?
I don’t truely know, I’m just making suggestions.
“I follow my heart
down a winding road,
Over hills and valleys
my love does go.”—nice opening. it sets a nice, wistful tone. i like it.
“My heart leads me blindly
like through night every day”—i tripped on this phrase. i think i know what you’re trying to say, that “love is a beacon in the darkness”, but i feel like you’re trying to fit a square peg into a circle here.
“I jump of my own free will.”--you died for love? i suppose i’d do it too. and so now i feel that you’re giving yourself up to your maker, your god. to be able to once more “follow your heart”, i feel a sense of eternal love in heaven, perhaps, or better- in a new, earthly incarnation. Celestial love is grand, but earthly love is more tangible. Although i have no real frame of reference.
I like it. It’s got a very easy, breezy feel to it.
Criticisms? None too many. Poetry is always open to myriad interpretation.
Well done. Thanks.
