Kept Heart (Photo credit: haunted by Leonard Cohen)
The human heart
Is a paradox
Savage selfishness
In a gold-edged box
It wants what it wants
And believes what should be
Is its singular desire
To merge to a ‘we’
Each love dream unique
To each solitary heart
Chosen method of merging
A thing quite apart
Our love story is ours
No other author can be
But must live through another
Paradoxically
