Love in the heart


I feel love
In my hands when they wriggle to
Hold another hand
They ache to tell me
they understand
the dark raw dose
I am reeling under

I feel love
When my eyes meet
Eyes unknown
The spark, the blink
The pucker of the brow
That confirms after the party’s over
I won’t be alone

I feel love
All over
And way within
On those times
When nothing matters
No, not the person or
the places he has been


But I don’t feel love in the heart
Good God, why not
This heart of mine, what a freak
Beats to pump blood but that’s it
Doesn’t jump into the mouth,
Not any more
Doesn’t shrink to half its size
 In a long wait
Doesn’t talk sweet to me
In front of a mirror
Doesn’t soak happiness
And gets bigger

I don’t feel love in the heart
It’s been so long
I don’t feel love in the heart
It doesn’t even feel wrong
