The Complex Heart

Occupied with love and hate,
                             Cupid uses it as his bait.
                             Every year on Valentines’ day,
                             Different hearts are on display.


                             In love it brings joy and sing melodies,
                             When it speaks, lovers mirror it with their bodies.
                             Sometimes it embarks on a dark trail,
                             So quickly it can be derailed.
                             Fuelled with jealousy and animosity,
                             It leaves couples catastrophically

                 
                             It is a symbol of our love and soul,
                             Many broken hearts are sold,
                             To hatred, jealousy and infidelity,
                             That leads to more controversy.
                              
                              It expresses more than the mind,
                              When two bodies are intertwined.
                              Complexity and unreliability,
                              Makes our hearts beat in diversity.
