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 our
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.

Really enjoyed reading it..paying tribute and gratitude to the creator of hearts, fancy that..typically I enjoyed "simmer rage!" was a brilliant line that fitted wonderfully with the rest of your poem..some think brain overrides the heart while recent research debunked this theory pointing out it is all about the heart. Abrahamic religions stress that it is all about the heart. But then again what embodies your body (vessel or vehicle or entity etc) is a soul and that soul was a blow of God so without the soul the heart and brain are useless. Anway, I should pay my respect to heart, next ;)

The Creator created a place that is far larger and able to work for each person it inhabits: the heart and emotion of Man. It envelops everything we are, every flaw, every jewel.. it has both right and left as it has both right and left from which to select how we each behave and live. Your gracious and beautiful words hold my own thoughts and the more to come. As you suggest, the Heart holds secrets yet to be discovered, ' .. Such a potpourri of emotions in you dwell.' '

Very creative and unique. I loved the way you have included all possible things to write about a heart. Loved the last stanza the most. Truly well written poem.
