WHY HEART IS ALWAYS MADE A SCAPEGOAT?

 

Why heart is always a scapegoat?

For emerging loving thought,

Sometimes it is made to burn,

For breaking it, all take their turn.

Why love starts from the heart?

To make it torn when love departs,

Why it often gets stolen?

When in our every vein blood run.

Why heart becomes very heavy?

It’s pace is at times not steady,

Why poets do extra duty?

To weave verses praising heart’s beauty.

Why the petals of heart should open?

For love and affection to drop in,

Why it is a source of light?

To illuminate lives to make them bright.

Why the heart is always fragrant?

When love is let loose like a vagrant,

Why heart is subject matter of barter?

Requiring it to be given in full, not in quarter.

Why heart & mind are warring cousins?

Why mind is an accomplice in all sins?

When a name is entered in heart’s roster,

Why mind sways like a ride on roller-coaster?

Why heart should feel all sensations?

Why it is storehouse of all passions?

At times, be a rebel to cause commotions,

And be pure in all the occasions.

Why It is made to expand and zoom,

When love enters in its room,

Thousands flowers in it to bloom,

Alas!!, It has also to hold all the gloom,

Some are said to have golden hearts,

With loving feelings in their thoughts,

Some hearts are made of iron,

Unbreakable in all situations.

For all our thoughts and rots,

If love dangles you in tangled knots,

For all the life’s unfilled dots,

Why poor heart is made a scapegoat?
