“My Heart”* For Meggie's Love Challenge

For it was not into my ear
you whispered, but into my heart
that longed for your sound

It was not my lips you kissed but my soul
that wanted to dissect my heart into shreds
to keep it in repair
for it had five chambers instead of four

The atria and ventricles were filled with love
And the fifth one in the middle contained ‘you’

It was located between the retrospection of my love and life
Each day it pumped about two thousand gallons of blood for you

The blood of my passion and faith
of my hope and desire.

Being expanded and contracted,
it did beat one hundred thousand times a day
only for your life

But now on this Valentine's day
no more I carry this heart of mine
I only bear my memories
and my memories are bearing my heart.

You have taken the quotation and made it your own by dividing it and expanding each part, then by adding the scientific details. The final verse is simply splendid.

A philosophy on Love seen from the human body's sight, then it's absolutely true that our heart is beating one hundred thousand times a day only for your life...Meggie's Love Challenge has got another category....that of the atria, the ventricles and the five chambers instead of four...Splendid idea! I wish you good luck with Meggie's Love Challenge!

Very clever valentine poem, I should say, I specially like the second stanza, the way your heart dissected in to shreds and how you invented a middle chamber, the core of your heart in which your loved one can reside.

Wow! Exquisite penning in this wonderfully romantic and sweet poem, dear Munia. A pleasure to read! So warm and tender, it warmed my heart as I read (freezing cold in Ireland today @ just 2 deg's! It is the first day of Spring officially here and was beautiful, dry, so bright and sunny but..........very cold!). Thank you for sharing, Munia and the very best of Good Luck in Meggie's Challenge. Blessings always.....
