O' human heart!

O' human heart!

O' heart, I wonder how 
you can store
so many different 
emotions of ours
in just thy four puny 
chambers
while pumping away the 
liquid of life
O' heart in you we 
discover love
but side by side you can 
harbour hate
In you we find the 
emotion of happiness
but side by side you 
simmer rage!
When you cease to beat 
many plans you thwart
May God protect the 
young human heart.
And while some O' heart 
you hold dear
some make you skip a 
beat in fear!
O' heart but we find in 
you as well
the vile emotion of 
jealousy
Such a potpourri of 
emotions in you dwell
Help filter out any wrong 
ones for me!
A mere four chambers 
indeed, but spacious are 
they
Invite therein 
whomsoever in the 
world you may
But in the end forget not 
to reserve
atleast a single chamber 
for its Creator, to 
preserve
The creator of hearts
More than that deserves.

Lovely rhythm and flow throughout, apt for the subject of the heart. I admire how you include so many emotions, mirroring the dualities of light and darkness in its fickle struggle.

Hi S. zaynab,

In the chambers of my lifeline heart
Flows the blood that made my lifetime start
Each day it pumps the sustenance
That is the core of my humble existence

.
But also on each chambers wall
Are the scars from many of my pitfalls
Love, hate, happiness, rage
Now are there for God to gage

.
So when it's time for me to rise
I hope that He is well apprised
That in the center of my thankful Soul
It is Him that I do e'er extoll

Peace and Love,
Larry xxx

Dear S. zaynab,

It will be my honor to post this on Monday morning, crediting your beautiful poem with it's inspiration.  Maybe I should title it, "I Wooed My Guru".
To get such an awesome response to one of my comments, makes my poetic endeavors so rewarding.

Peace and Love,

Dear Zaynab,
It is a beautiful poem.
It is more likely that our heart shall keep operating to its maximum filtering the undue through self-made barriers - not to hurt and sometimes through greater understanding the poets write for themselves.
Kind regards,
Baljit
