The Heart Is the Matter, Digital Art and Poetry by joanzone

The Heart Is the Matter

How can one explain the

condition of the human heart? We

feel fathomless joy, are

lifted up in love.

Conversely, we are

plummeted to the depths, with

sorrow or wanting, to

feel the closeness of another’s

beating coeur, to need to

touch, to be held tightly, so

tightly, as to overcome the pain, the

hurt that has occupied that

sterile structure for oh so long.

I wish my heart was

tameable, that it would not

rush to love, to emotion, not

devour words of amor that leave it

palpating, waiting and wanting more,

more, more–damned poetic soul. If

excised today, you would find

emblazoned upon it, your mark. You

know who you are, fire starter.
