Poem
Dear Heart, You are the great fulcrum of the human machine So integral to keep us alive and leave us healthy I know you work incessantly day and night Neither taking rest nor seeking respite By defiance, on any day, if you go on strike Alas! All our body functions will come to a halt Though a sinewy piece not bigger than a man’s closed fist You are the seat of umpteen thoughts and emotions A wondrous magic casket holding love and hate A pouch that can contain so much of treasure A sponge that can absorb any amount of pain A hidden cave to stash away so many secrets So deep and vast as a fathomless sea You are so full of spiraling eddies and currents Who can fathom your horrendous depths? Who can explore your hidden recesses and crevices? At times you stay still like a placid lake Silent and unperturbed without even a ripple At times boil and spill with emotions and feelings Pounding like lashing waves of a stupendous sea Sometimes like a swift bird in flight You take off on wings to alarming heights Or like a gambler’s horse on the race track You keep galloping in lightning speed Sometimes you are hard and resistant as a rock But don’t be insensitive and unfeeling as a clump of wood That’s my only prayer to you, my bosom friend Store as much love as you can and lavish it as a millionaire Do you know how much I love and value you I feel there is nothing greater vouchsafed to man Than the gift of an ever loving palpable heart I relish you and wish to hug and caress you dear! Much Love, Jan.30.2023 ~ Placed Nineth~ Dear Heart Poetry Contest Sponsor- Mystic Rose Rose
