Short Ventricle Poems

Time has my heart hostage the ventricle all bent
I will not surrender till every second of time is spent

People with a recondite mind do not have to tell others
How smart they are
We will figure it out
When we see how caring, kind and loving they are
The two go ventricle in ventricle...

Grab your funny bone and give it a tickle
And for life's dessert try some pumpernickel
Actually never tried it
I have to admit
But heard it was good for your left ventricle...

Unconsciously
I touched your heart
with my finger;

I pushed my claw into your ventricle
and unconsciously...
they pumped blood together.

...impure blood -
mixed with love
unconsciously......

Together at last,
Far from redemption but close to content
Understanding misunderstandings 
Together at last, 
Frequency in routine
Love first with hate as a close second 
Together at last, 
A damaged ventricle 
Heart felt numbness...

Take a piece of my oversized pumping heart
Make aortic memories, oh so grand
Break not this adoring atrium to start
Quake from the rhythmic beat under your hand

Gain affection from each side ventricle
Plain adoration felt by thick blood flowing
Vein flutters, valves and arteries a-tickle
Rein it in, your romantic side is showing...

One ventricle inside your heart have you
while everybody else I know has two!
It causes you to suffer; this I know.
Yet here you are surviving. In fact, you glow!

Your heart, although not perfect physically
is twice as durable spiritually,
for love to others gracefully do you impart
so well, dear Chantelle, with your special heart

I dread the moment when we part 
The piece of me I call my heart
Goes with you each and every time
Left by myself I start to rhyme

A poem helps me write things out
Invokes your name without a shout
Then all at once from distant view
My heart comes back to me from you 

Your essence fills one ventricle
My essence the identical 
A heart now filled, with you complete
Pumps in my chest and you're its beat

Inferno
Entry
Soul’s window

Liquid satin
Blanketing sin

Unintentional embrace
Spoken word
Spoken soft
Spoken
Whisper

Speechless

Longing

Longing
Tears
Held

Hold me

Hold me
As if God
Condemned our tomorrows
Suddenly

Ventricle screams
Smile rediscovered
Eyes unwrapped

Even after all these years

Rush
Waves
Crash

Song of infant
Church Bells

Desired

Discovery
This belief
That maybe

Just maybe…

Loosing sight as he drifts in the water.
Sinking slowly, silently.
He was swiftly swept of his life,
no warning what so ever!

Yet, the burn of crying desire,
that’s in his body,
was feeding on him from within.
Ripping & feeding on his soul.

The desperate cry for escape,
was stripping his heart
into its ventricle casings,
un-denyingly on purpose.

As if u would be able
to stop it anyway!
While u sit in agony,
helpless & unwillingly fearing, 
for whatever will happen next!...

In drinking star juice, 
we internal light the fires within
We taffy twist and tug and spin
the wings of self elation
We bluntly burn each ventricle
and cauterize our lungs until
each tendril of our core is skin invading
And when the juice of stars ignites
we dance the dance and fight the fight
with solar flares to shoot our mouths
to moons yet undiscovered
It's in this moment we depart
and shatter long before we start
to lick elixir from the sky
in lunar inspiration....

Quantum leap, material mind,
learning curve steep, perceptive mankind,
this earth inherited to keep, in the depth eyes shined,
the karmic benefits we reap, after money too long pined,
in the shadows they did creep, by our light left blind,
hearts awaken from their sleep, each ventricle gold lined,
More awake each enlightened peep, open hearts, contemplative minds; you'll be amazed at 
what you find.

Been crawling, now it’s time to walk, too long the masses talking the talk........
