Secret Heart Poem by Murugi Muriithi

Secret Heart

Rating: 5.0


There is a secret heart

Right here in my bosom, just under my right breast



This heart is doused in blue blood

Blood neither cold nor warm

This blood has never tasted life



Exiled from sunshine

a prisoner of tabloid

this heart of mine

is strong in inhibitions

and weak in resolve

This heart has never tasted life



Perhaps one day

when the ships sail

This heart of mine

with its battling blue blood

will see life

Is it the complexity that makes up the identity of mankind? Well a like the images you have employed in the piece. The blue blood infact. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
