Poem

Fated to Love


Best to simply weigh the heart with a poppy seed
Counter balance on granite
All its rhythmical surging
Its expeditious life
Amounts to nothing

Better then, not to believe in its enchantment
For it is fated to love
And do little else but lead
To ruin

Well-worn to stop up your ears
Lest you hear its background murmurings 
Brooding upon devotion
Lacking the power to change anything
But weeps constantly for dreams

Do not then, be deceived
For all the hearts will to achieve
It cannot
But burst inside your veins
Only half remembering what once you never held
Though its truth persists
It lays persecutory back against a lie
The heart would try
But cannot defy the world

Beware then my friends
For that muscular aorta pump and valve
Will lay you stark
And rend open beneath your ribs
And grant you no solace
Or escape

For all in the life of steady beats
It knows nothing of fact
And through your nights survival
Will stab at you with yearning
Brooking no compromise
It shall continue
Craving

Damnable heart I say
To leave me no place to rest
If I could but tear it out

For it taints my eyes with longing
Converting my hours for its keeping
Playing poker faced with deliverance
Trying to cheat destiny
With the price it paid to see me

Counting the cost in when’s
And when
When all the loneliness
Will end

Beware of when; then my friends
For that muscular ventricle pump and valve
Will lay you star-dream-gathering
And break open daily beneath your ribs
And yield to you no solace
But only escapism

Damnable heart I say
To leave me no place to rest
If I could but tear it out
