A Well Read Red Heart

The media paints the heart bright red
but in reality, that's not always true
life comes along to knock us down
even falling in love isn't just I do

Take a look inside that heart
look deep way right down
your hands can't reach that depth
take your emotions off that frown

You have a heart far from physical
its effects you only can feel
so deceiving they are at times
even you would love to steal

Read read and read it again
reach out your hands only to fail
no operation can reveal it bare
but its effects leave you pale

Is your heart coloured pure red?
or is it deceiving your own very self
take a closer look into your heart
must be appealing or be left on the shelf

( A look at the Red heart symbol that the media paints so much of love and trying to look outside the box of that love symbol which may not be all it's painted to be.)

Hi Jennifer, glad you loved it, it's most encouraging seeing it took me 3 days to write this one, in recent days my inward pen seems to be drying up but thanks for your uplifting words. Hugs and blessings,Gordon
