Heart

I keep asking my heart

Asking it aloud to open up

Break the shell

Untie the chains

and Pull the feathers together

I wish my heart would listen to me

Would fly like a free bird in the sky

I wish my heart would not just be

a mere piece of flesh and then die

And when someone so important

so blissfully true

Takes a vow

to live with you

I ask my heart once again

Be free
Be free
let go

and a small prick here and there

my heart seems to bleed

Then a sudden burst of endless happiness

of passion desire and need

Love gushes and trembles

and breaks apart the walls

I hear my heart beat after ages

The man can hear the beating thump

and I blush like I haven't in ages

I keep asking my heart

Asking it to stop its cries so loud

It cries back at me

Oh, my friend

I feel alive
