Writings

Heart

My heart beating

Trying to keep up with my racing thoughts

Twisting, constricting

With every word that you say

That ruins my say

It feels like it will explode

As I climb the stairs

Or eat to fast

But its a heart

Faulty, but it works....

Keyring

Many believe

Each heart has a key

Perhaps that may be for some.

The case though, is not for I.

My heart has many doors down a long corridor

Each which has its own key.

Many people have keys that unlock such doors.

Each person has a different set of keys.

A keyring each with a collection of keys to use.

One day maybe, I’ll find the one person who will collect all of the keys on

A single ring....

Drought In A Barren Heart

Loneliness seeps through the broken land

Where only rigid beats and blood will stand

Love, water, they are always the same

Gone through a drought after little rain came

Now the barren wastelands; the artery of friends

Awaits impatiently for its end...

Slowing Down

Bump bump, bump bump,

It’s still pumping.

Bump, bump… Bump, bump…

Or it may not be…

Bump… Bump.. Bump…

Uh oh, it may…

Bump………

*HEART MONITOR STOPS*...

I Can’t Give You My Heart.

If it tore,

My life would tear too,


If it broke,

There would be nothing left to do,


It’s a drum set,

Life banging a musical tempo,


Steady or spiked,

Depending on mood flow,


My heart can ache,

But it’s not a good sign,


It can ooze with anguish,

But it’s not too divine,


Moves blue to my veins,

And sweeps out trash, waste,


Vital to my life,

My inner body embraces,


I can’t give you my heart,

Anatomy Of A Heart

We live in a time

where we’ve been taught

that the heart pumps

blood through chambers

a valve is like a door of which

you could step through to

get to the next room.


Up, down, side to side,

that’s how many visualize

the cardiac function.


We live in a time

where we’ve also learned

that the cardiac muscle

coils around itself,

and the blood flows

counterclockwise through

a dynamic vorte...

The Heart

The power house of life

It never stops working

Pumping life into your mind

It never gives up

Pumping life into your body


If left alone to die

It’ll take all your dreams with it

It pumps these thoughts into your mind

That you never want to forget

It wonders where you’ve gone

But it never gives up


It’s your biggest strength

Yet it’s your biggest weakness

Can end your life in a beat

Or keep you ali...

Hearts don’t break they beat

Today I had a heart attack

In the back of your SUV

No one was there to save me

No one could even see


Today I had a heart attack

So bad I couldn’t breathe

I could feel my veins contracting

My arteries squashed up like peas


Today I had a heat attack

Because mine is so fragile

Just a little pain

And my ribs start to rattle


Today I had a heart attack

And now my heart doesn’t beat

No one was ther...

Center

Center of the

Circulatory system,

There the heart is,

Pumping blood

In and out.

Pulse,

Heart rate,

Beating…

Through all the

Vessels,

Through all the

Veins,

The heart’s blood

Flows.

My heart rate

Shoots up,

That pounding in

My chest,

An adrenaline rush!

Those are the best!

the only girl in the world

your laugh is melodic your smile is perfection your heart is-

your heart is so big and your hugs are so warm and

there aren’t enough words in this world

to describe you,

but for you i will find them,

i will search forever and i will find the perfect

syllables

to write the green of your eyes

or maybe the hazel

or the dots and flecks of brown on a vast green canvas, like an ink pot was spilled and...
