Velcro Heart

Zurrip Zurrip
rip it, pull it, yank it free
peel your velcro heart from me;

stick it to lashes
stick it to hair
stick it to a love that's barely there.

Zurrip Zurrip
fine job you did to zip me in
a velcro heart plays to win

loop it in my mind
lock it on my tongue
hook it on my love, then I guess you're done.

Zurrip Zurrip
the bristles break
the more a velcro heart does take

unstick it from my future
unstick it from my past
rip it from me openly be sure to do it fast. 

Zurrip Zurrip
the taste of love is is never so tart
until you find yourself fastened to a velcro heart.

I agree w/Joe, a very creative poem, Krystal. A great title too. Excellent ending. I never could put my finger on why I just didn't care for velcro when it first got on the market. Your poem finally answered one of my personal mysteries of the universe. Ty for sharing such a cool, fun poem. Love and peace to you. RW (Romantic Warrior)
