Open Heart

Introspective poetry

Open heart
Lanced wound
Seeping toxicity
Burning off the unnecessary
Pushing deeper
Through walls,
Beyond boundaries,
Breaking through to where love is pure.

The deeper I go
The blacker it runs
And the hotter it burns
Acrid, deadly smoke
By my will-dissipates.

The depth of the wound is unknown,
The darkness of the tar, unseen,
The brightness of the fire, unparallel.

Open heart
Lanced wound
Drain toxicity
Burn the unnecessary
Push Deeper
Through walls,
Beyond boundaries,
Break through to where love is pure.
