Heart Shaped

Oddly, its beginning isn’t where the
heart is; I think it was AWOL, or on
a journey with the mission a secret 

But the energy is focussed - & heed
obeys as if where we are lead to has
deeper meanings afoot - & although 

I like ideas of a heart absent without
leave - more appropriately, it brooks
that this ‘secret assignment’ has the 

kudos-assurance we grew up into of
an age when hearts ruled, no matter
where, time or place - so duly all the 

rest of us follows; & it’s there catch-
ups equate if we’ve the perspicacity
resonating on similar a wavelength - 

where there’re ooh-la-la revelations.
Lived thru a few haven’t you - and it
appends to what Being You means 

So they aren’t rare, orphan scenes,
or without character; the idea love’s
a stranger deflates - falling limp in a 

timelessness that needn't state its
origins until you’re there breathing
wildly thinking, its beginning again
