Red ink
bleeds
through
tissue walls
each ventricle
a room
I've carved
by beating.

They’re never happy,
The world’s selfish hands always expect more,
I’m never enough,
And I probably never will be.
I just want to be loved,
Without being asked to change,
They’ve all let me down so far,
I’m not enough for them.
All of them eventually turn their backs on me,
My heart has been broken so much,
That the words “I love you “,
Are starting to sound like a lie.
I wish I was as beautiful as the other girls,
And that people would stop calling me ugly,
But that’ll never happen,
Because I’m still not enough.
The world crushed me,
All those words are bullets,
Shot straight through my shattered heart,
Passing through every ventricle.
I can’t handle all the curveballs,
Thrown at me one after another,
They force me to put on a brave face,
But I’m not strong enough.
I just want someone to hug me,
And tell me I’m enough,
But I know they won’t,
Because I’m never enough.

Tendency is, to apportion
Love:
like slices of iced sweet
at a party
braying festive, 2 playful swipes
at a swinging, loaded donkey
(not the husband this time)
toffee for the dear loyal mate --
allotment of love, for precious children;
for all our Prayer-family, appealed
a canopy of blessed shade, like that
bible gourd,
cat and dog needing, also,
some petting reward – no special
reason...just because --
to the poet, as with painter,
superseding costume body of flesh,
art is voice-echo and representative
image
one's deeper beating sentient part
ventricle tools, the writing pad, the brush...
more poignant the words,
broader the expansive, lyrical stroke:
ruled paper or mystifying canvas~ the soul,
a bottomless well from which to
creatively
draw
fluid destinies
for controlled dabbing
abundant dashing-splashing
spirit-inspired
awesomely appealing
saturating pour --

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

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

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

I hold my little new born child
who is born in a hospital
in a town where tumbleweeds roll mild
the Cancer has been staged, its terminal
incurable and running wild
every hair on his head is counted
every toe accounted for
I think about all the strength surmounted
for this jewel in my pinafore
and hear his loud sharp cry, undaunted;
rage of angels rap at my chest door
as I fade away into his heart beat,
the lion comes for his feeding chore;
Oh those eyes of finest wheat,
how they draw me in aside the shore
and move me to a place of Grace.
The curtain closes and I weep
inside my ventricle, his memorized face
I pray to God my soul to keep,
then glide away, to another place.

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

Depress gasp peddle
make jest mettle, mannequin IQs
easy to steering will move
Simple-minded plan acceleration,
night shift flux be
turbo stupidity
Oxy dark vacillation
speedily end in
moronic wind tunnel termination
Pulse crash dummies
swerve change rational lanes
dash bored recklessly
Cranial balloon buffoons
always gon fail
those lobby pop quiz pitch tease
Stooge sputtering cartoons
fatally skid sail —
Icy ad vice was a lemon squeeze
Vacuous palpitations
ventricle bend:
Idiotic windy flummox sensation
Pulse crash dummies
defective air bag manic brag
of vent kill mentality
Empty parking lot feelings
are plastic bosom empathetic tested
Accidental findings be fume ingested,
poser belt fear unfastening
Sift through the scattered remains
of collateral crash dummies
Tik-tok stamp the carnage strange,
ventriloqi emotional debris

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

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

woman's love for her man is undying
sense of love, respect, warmth radiated
from her heart, love shines without denying
her great strength, feminine charms inflated,
she gives slight glances, Gentle sigh, shy smiles
that light up the whole room making life good,
for the one she loves she'll walk extra miles
work her hands to the bone oh womanhood,
he's hers, he's to her god in human form
in her eyes, in her heart she has no room
love for him fills every ventricle warm
normal as a baby within her womb,
though she feels extreme emotional pain
her love will be strong in her heart remain.

When Love comes pounding on a drum,
it comes on strong and fast and hard
until two hearts in synch beat passion's song.
Sometimes love comes clanging down the tracks.
It clashes or it clamors to be heard,
so at its crossing, meaning is obscured.
Other times, love lurks or it attacks.
Unrequited, love can pierce or burn
until its ventricle turns deathly black.
And then are times love gently climbs
or eases sure-footed to one's door
or sweetly seeps and saturates the soul.
It's strong and yet it's soft.
It doesn't sting or snip. It listens
and reverberates the whispers of the heart.

I'm in a hospital room
for something.
Head trauma?
The doctors are feeding
me these pills.
Except, they're not
doctors,
they're these, you know
cosmic beings
stalking from the corner
of this dusty
Hexagon.
What I thought
were pills
I now know
are the vital
crystals of
endoenlightenment.
I clasp them with
my hand
and crunch them
with my teeth.
Except, they're
not my teeth,
or my hands,
but flowing
orifices
projected by my
very frightened
and disillusioned
left ventricle.
Thump, thump, thump
goes my left
cremaster muscle.
It creaks to life.
I am now peeling
from the walls
of the open
cavity
of a vivisected
ideology.
Julio, come to me.
Bring me my insulin drink.
