The Heart Is Love-Personified Poem by Mark Heathcote

What the eye doesn't see, the heart can feel?
From-the-heart also is the mind and body,
for the heart, the heart is love personified already.

What does eye-do-better than the heart?
Your eyes are only the tip of the dart.
first, you must feel each gouge bleed crimson
Then taste the blood the essence of a flower.

And know that for each flower
there is a root that you can trace
trace back to the dawn of that first throbbing hour.
