Bleeding Heart


Guard over your heart with all diligence for from it flows the springs of life.
Proverbs 4:23


I removed the heart from inside of me
Impulsively
Flinging caution aside
Exposed it to the world of men
a vibrant ruby light- filled organ
Pulsating with the soul treasure I possess
The essential core of who I am
Emanating from every cell of that now
Extraneous tissue

Awkwardly hoping to attract a kindred
Emitting long range heart waves
Sending a siren song
A longing for connection
Over a wide range
Seeking warmth
Affection Empathy
Whose heart’s rhythm echoed mine
Ba bump ba bump ba bump lol
A true symbiotic match

Faux hearts clamored at the gate
Declaring undying affection
Aiming for sensual gratification
Sidestepping the beating sound near
Their feet lol
The passion soon faded
They became bored with familiar terrain
Without studying geography of this heartland
Our hearts were incomprehensible to each other
the newly minted love affair fizzled and blew away
On the wind

The terminally ill and wounded hearts
Truly wanted to connect with mine
But soon an infection began in my heart
Mine being not completely whole
Developed a bad cold
I revived my heart
Bundled it up
Feeding it homeade
Chicken Noodle Soup
I sprayed their calls with lysol

A few hearts
Were frozen stone cold solid
Ignoring the anguish they caused
Icicles entrapped their hearts
I was unable to melt their hearts
Fearful of hypothermia
I Plucked up my heart
Thawed it out again
And fled towards warmth


I tenderly scooped up
The remains of my heart
Vowing it to heal again
To guard over it
As a sentry
who monitors those who come in and out
of the castle keep
to keep out those
without the desire to learn
the language of an open heart
or the essence that radiates out of it
This heart resides once again
encased in a fragile flawed being

I refuse to retreat
Being selective in who
Touches my heart
Mindfully seeking to be a
salve to other wounded hearts
to coax hardened hearts
seeing the infinite value found there
