4 Keys One HeartOur heart


4 Keys One Heart Our heart is composed of a four chambered valve with blood flowing in and out In and out Ideally our heart consists of four secret gardens that can only be unlocked by four different keys Keys from jaggered blades, to twist and turns, to spiral keys that won’t fit in your house door like regular keys Keys you can’t find anywhere, but beneath the palms of our soul mate Palms filled of unscripted linings engraved within the skin By unraveling one garden he will not seek the superficial scenery of flowers plastered on a painting or the warmed sunlight past the river bank Instead he will ravel what we try to hide from our everyday life to our everyday people One secret is revealed 3 left untouched Four keys leading to Four Gardens unified by the thick cartilage that makes up one Organ The main Organ Our Heart!

Comparing the four chambers of the heart to four separate, locked gardens is certainly an interesting, fresh image, and forms the basis of a well-written poem. Keep it up!
