The Heart

Drown out the noise that surrounds us
Immerse yourself in the deepest part of you
The part that the world calls a heart
And yet to you is just another
Name for yet another portion of your body
Like your hands, feet, or duodenum
But receives far more significance
Of being human than the rest
Is it really deserved or
Just a romanticised notion
Born of poets and writers
Who claim love and passion
When it's just a fist-sized organ
That pumps blood.

To my mom and dad on mother's day

You cradled me against your bosom When I was a wee babe But those memories are lost in life's daze And I spent my adolescence fighting with you Coz those were years that I didn't have a clue It was in my twenties That we grew close I understood the sacrifices you made For me to live a better life and succeed more No one will believe how much you've done for me Except maybe my father Who's done equally The two of you are so dear to me And I will love you forever more, That's a guarantee
