The Heart's Attribute

A Heart is a strong muscle.

It has the sole purpose 

of filling every other part of you.

We have attributed this to be Emotion.

Blood is thicker than Water.

Blood is but more than a flicker 

in the eyes of an enamored daughter.

Like the liquor once prohibited,

it comes back by popular demand,

and when it does,

it is
Quicker than The Slaughter

and Harder than the Silence.

It is All-Consuming as the Sun, 

and a newness becomes visible --
piercing, full-fledged, and sweet;

and this Light can be blinding.
But as the heart does,
we adjust

and move with It

as It moves us.

And we can only dare to say Its name
if we trust.
