Precious Heart

Very few realize how precious a heart really is!
The physiology comprehended by medicine and science
Offering no mysteries on the morphology of its inner workings.

Yet when Love is manifested in any form
Offering no palpable evidence to unravel,
Trying to decipher the impulses from the soul,
The unconscious governed by the senses,
Insuppressible sparks in the synapses
Sending bursts of life like clockwork,
A rhythm of beats defying comprehension,
A full circle of inhale and exhale
Embedding life a while longer.
The will to live on a premise
When a broken promise ends the cycle
With a name and a few words muttered on the very last beat.

Love does make all hearts very precious
