Poetry / Open Letter To My Heart
You are no more
than a meaty center,
a block of electricity
at the core of me. You've
been a foe: freezing
up and changing me
to winter; internal
Medusa, you have turned
me to stone.
But, my bloody,
beating drum,
it is you that conceives
the hammering,
the dull ache
of all my nerves
suddenly exposed to
a well-turned phrase
or a gentle show
of kindness.
This is what I cannot
live without.

From coming straight from the head that’s lovely. I find most lovely poem come straight from the heart and mind right on the spot.
I enjoyed this simple piece because it says a lot with out being too wordy.
My fave line was:
“You’ve
been a foe: freezing
up and changing me
to winter; internal
Medusa, you have turned
me to stone.”
Great imagery with those lines.
