Heart

By Prunella Nadler

A heart
Beating strong
Or weak bird
So deep inside
Or on your sleeve?

A place to start
Or stop love
Doorstop
Target
Weakness
Joy?
What makes you really feel?
You know this boy?
This lovely girl?

Not searching for
Elusive pearls
Diamond necklace 
Wedding ring
Will it guarantee your love?

Healthy offspring she'll bring
Your praises she will sing
All to show
To prove love exists

The heart
Has a heavy burden
And that's only when
It is not hurting
