S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri Poet Ode

The Human Heart

O' heart, I wonder how 
you can store
so many different 
emotions of ours
in just thy four puny 
chambers
while pumping away the 
liquid of life

O' heart in you we 
discover love
but side by side you 
harbour hate
In you we find the 
emotion of happiness
but side by side you 
harbour rage! 

When you cease to beat 
many plans you thwart
May God protect the 
young human heart

And while some O' heart 
you hold dear
some make you skip a 
beat in fear! 

O' heart but we find in 
you as well
the bad bad emotion of 
jealousy
Such a potpourri of 
emotions in you dwell
Help filter out any wrong 
ones for me! 

A mere four chambers 
indeed but spacious are 
they
invite therein 
whomsoever in the 
world you may

But in the end forget not 
to reserve
atleast a single chamber 
for its Creator, to 
preserve

Eric Niehoff October 12, 2013 at 8:40 PM I like the duality in the second stanza. And I particularly liked the the blood being described as the "liquid of life".

Debbie Guzzi October 12, 2013 at 4:41 PM Thanks for stopping by my verses. That's an interesting take on the heart! Light & Love

Susan Clark October 12, 2013 at 3:55 PM Interesting poem for me to read as I am going through these very things - learning to love people who act out negatively as I pursue what God put in my heart to do - as I think you have dealt with this too. If everyone would see what God gave them to do and pursue it - and if they would see what their own strengths were - they would not have to find other people to punch - there's a difference when creative types - grow into who they truly are verses who they are truly not = strength!

Christine Phillips October 12, 2013 at 9:27 AM A good heart felt poem. Yes the same heart harbor love, hate, anger, rage and a variety of other emotions. Good questions to ask the "heart"

Aseem Desai October 11, 2013 at 11:58 PM lovely, with a great twist in the end..or was it the twist that inspired the poem in the first place? god bless

Angelica Grier October 11, 2013 at 11:32 AM I love how you examine the heart's many functions beyond being merely a person's life source. And we all definitely need to preserve a chamber for our Creator. I think many people forget that. I'm glad you remembered. :-)

Joseph Matose October 11, 2013 at 1:31 AM HAT A CREATIVE WAY OF EXPRESSING FAITH...IN THE LAST LINE, AFTER EXPRESSING ALL THE MYRIAD FUNCTIONS OF THE HEART. YOU HAVE FAITH ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THAT GOD ALSO NEED A SPACE IN THAT CHAMBER. GREAT POEM POTPOURI, I MEAN KAMOONPURI (JOKE!)
