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

I like the duality in the second stanza. And I particularly liked the the blood being described as the "liquid of life".

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!

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"

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. :-)

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!)
