Dear Heart

« Long love struck with the shape of you Captivated by your carmine hue » M.L. I bow to every beat you undertake, I rise to rhythm you race up for my sake, I thank persistent pulse that has no break, I laud enormous effort that you make, I am blessed you keep me live and awake, I apologize for all the heartache. You bear the brunt of battles all my life, You smoothly soften my struggles with strife, You finesse my fluctuating feelings, You smoothly soothe my drudgery dealings, You endure trials and triumphs, dusk to dawn, You are oft turned off but your beat goes on. P.S. With your vital vigour I am in awe - For every breath you kindly let me draw. January 27, 2023
