A Box for my Heart

What sort of things
reside here inside
this worn out box
I call my heart

Sealed on all sides
by my bi-polar mind
and no indication
of which side is up

Love, lust
a secret affair
peace, justice
or maybe hurt

Where there a box
I could call my heart
would anyone care
to open it up

Beautiful.

I liked the imagery in the second and third lines...This worn out box..I call my heart..very beautiful.
Very nice read..a melancholic but powerful poem.
And a very beautiful ending that leaves me thinking..
Blessings...

The problem with being all heart is that when it hurts it kills. The best poetry comes from our hearts...doesn't it?
