Oh my Heart! How will you hold
All my secrets new and old?
In vain did they struggle any way!
For you hardly gave anything away!
The masked aprons, some blue some green
not to be heard but only seen,
In hushed voices, discussed for a while
"We will reach the Heart of the Matter"
They declared with a smile.
The hustle and the bustle,
The rustle and the tussle,
The injections and the vials
All united in a trial,
I did not resist in all wisdom
As they invaded my Temporal Kingdom.
Lilliput like I lay all dazed
My Heart raced,yet unfazed!
Oh My heart! How will you hold
All my secrets new and old?
Some patches here, some wires there,
Connected to a monitor, all set to share,
A long paper scroll, a coded message,
some peaks and vales, some scribbles there,
I tried to decode through the doctor's visage
He looked at it for a while ,
Then declared with a smile,
"We shall reach the Heart of the matter !"
Oh my Heart will you dare?
How could you lay all my secrets Bare?
The masked aprons, some blue some green,
Voyager like,sent a camera down the blood stream
The monitor crackled, the heart protested madly on the screen,
it could no longer hide, the room resounded with a scream,
The men and the machine at last succeed,
Oh my Heart! But Do not yet concede!
Or all our secrets will be hauled,
When you were Touched, Broken or mauled!
Do not seek revenge to tell all!
You are mine after all!
Oh my Heart! how will you fare!
You hate me so much or you don't care!
My memories rush in a rewind,
Pictures of the first crush rush to mind,
Anesthetized by Cupid's arrow,
but soon crushed to tears in sorrow,
How you hurt! you did not mourn for long!
Soon another love came along,
the sun seeking the Earth after the Rain!
But the Trail of Love blazed in vain
the flames of love were doused again!
Oh my Heart! You know life is not fair!
Don't hate me, keep me in your prayer!
Yet again Dear Heart you refuse to heed
not to seek out love that's not meant to be!
You danced into your beloved's arms
to bask in the love lorn gaze warm
Bruised and battered, yet not altered
you looked for love, never faltered.
Oh my heart, I didn't know the Art
to cheat or deceive or to play with Heart!
I confess, I let you suffer
when I was timid and failed to utter,
sacrificed love at duty's altar
like a boat abandoned In the middle of the water!
Oh my Heart! You are Touched again ,
but cold glass and fervid metal work in vain
struggle to pry from my bosom livid,
the buried secrets of love, still vivid
I knew our secrets you will hold
and not give away our love new and old!
Those masked aprons, some blue some green
Now neither to be heard nor to be seen,
shut the screen and turn around
"We have found nothing ",they sound.
Thus far you have been so bold
will weather the brave new world!!
vulnerable, unable to bear the strain
you smile, my words are spent in vain
The chest ready to receive new treasures of love!
And the Cupid, ready to strike ,awaits in the COVE!!!
