Heart

a poem by Shah Pravinchandra Kasturchand

You began with the birth
Others followed, on earth;
Heart! True, Full of faith!
You to stay till my death;

You are poem in the pink;
You, rosy eye in the wink;
You are foam of sea roar;
Ever ready on life-shore.

Head above, keep it alive;
Legs below, you let drive;
Hate, love like crow, dove
Keep life’s cage on move.

Heart, bloody closed fist;
like sunshine behind mist.
Never seen, for ever keen;
Heart my kin! Ever within.

My friend of first breath,
Do not leave, until death.
