Does Anyone Realize....?

Poem Artwork


Does anyone realize
How hot a heart can be?
Just touch an iron or just come near
Results?....A scalded memory
Yet the heart can be compromised
Then yield and cause a burn
And still the token perseveres
Draws back but doesn't learn
You turn away all startled
With a spirit scarred and torn
An iron would be much cooler
Than a heart whose core can burn
Where is all the logic
The one that smells of fear
The one that gives a warning?
Watch out and don't tread here
Its easier to touch an iron
Much cooler than the pain
Left from scars so infinite
That grows with ill refrain
The heart is but a white hot core
Where passions live and seethe
Its hotter than any hell
And more painful....I believe

A hot iron burns you and it is over and done.

A heart just keep on buring as long as you breathe air and feel love inside..or even hate for that matter!!

Thanks for sharing your work Susan!!

Love Tinka

This is very true..I would rather touch that iron and know it would burn me than risk indefinite emotional pain. Great read.

pain is subjective ...

heat can heal or destroy the heart, depending on its source ...

very very interesting poem ...

Susan, I read this magnificent piece three times and came away with a different feeling each time. But, you are so right, I would rather touch a HOT iron, at least I know what to expect. Excellent work, Poet.
