O' human heart


O' heart, I wonder how 
you can store
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
so many different 
emotions of ours
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
in just thy four puny 
chambers
 
 
 
 
 
while pumping away the 
liquid of life

 

 

O' heart in you we 
discover love
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
but side by side you can 
harbour hate
 
 
 
 
In you we find the 
emotion of happiness
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
but side by side you 
simmer rage!

 

 

When you cease to beat 
many plans you thwart
 
 
 
 
May God protect the 
precious heart.

 

 

And while some O' heart 
you hold dear
 
 
 
some make you skip a 
beat in fear!

 

 

O' heart but we find in 
you as well
 
 
 
the vile emotion of 
jealousy
 
 
 
 
 
Such a potpourri of 
emotions in you dwell
 
 
 
 
Help filter out any wrong 
ones for me!

 

 

A mere four chambers 
indeed, but spacious are 
they
 
 
 
 
 
Invite therein 
whomsoever in the 
world you may

 

 

But in the end forget not 
to reserve
 
 
 
atleast a single chamber 
for its Creator, to 
preserve
 
 
 
 
 
The creator of hearts
 
 
 
 
 
More than that deserves.

<p>Oh dear I don&#39;t use any professional conventional poetic devices, my muse is always meandering and my rhythm and rhyme always obey my muse rather than vice versa like perfect classic and professional poets. I&#39;m mainly for the content.</p><p>Warmest thanks for your comment. Have a great day.</p>

<p>Very beautiful, and yes indeed, very Shakesperian. Which literary device did you use in this poem? I see a few, but what was the main device that you wanted use readers to grasp upon?</p>
S.zaynab.k
<p>Warmest thanks for nice acknowledgement. I&#39;m wondering if I&#39;ve read yours too.</p>

Won't lie at first I wasn't feeling it but the further I got the deeper the message and the more I could relate. Definitely worth reading.

<p>Thanks &nbsp;soo much for such a fine comment. I&#39;ve been compared by other poets to many famous &nbsp;classical poets such as Keats, Dahl and others so I&#39;m flattered u fink I read a bit like Shakespeare too.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I love the description of blood as &quot;the liquid of life&quot; and the final line&#39;s acknowledgement of the Creator God. Very well-written!</p>
