I'd like to tie a tourniquet
around your wounded heart
and watch until the blood
stops dripping
then I would cut away the mangled mass
of decaying vessels that hang
below the pulsing mound of life.
Perhaps then you could begin,
begin to feel, begin to love,
begin to live.
I know another who needs this emergency service. But if is performed will it make a difference to them? Good write Mary, very good. Patricia
MARY! ! ! Hmmm. I like the 'urgency' of this poem. Good hearts are at a premium though. finding a replacement might take a while. Good write! L
Kind Mary with her box of band-aids who would fix the world, how tender hearted you are. But, baby girl, I finally figured this out. The one with a broken heart is the only one who can fix it. But this poem surely expresses the pain that you suffer when you love someone who hurts. Read my poem, 'I'll Cry - For you.' This poem is really good, and that 'stretching yourself' I told you to try is really paying off. You just get better! Scarlett
This is gory glory Mary, a real hard heart rendering poem. Clearly gives a vision of a 'bleeding heart' very well described. A gutsy one. Love Ernestine XXX
Excellent title! Quite the grabber. I wouldn't want to make you mad, either...but hey, poets are supposed to have a 'streak'. :) This poem brought vampires to mind...which makes it all the more interesting.
Intense, Mary. Hope you don't cross my path, I'd be SO scared, lol. I'd vote a good number if you allowed it.
I really like this, still loving and caring...It has such a different feel though to your recent work. A dark edge which i love. Thank you for sharing. Kindest Regards Slim. x.
Mary! it's a great surgery.............if the patient recovered? I like the humour which hides in the poem.
Dear Mary, Something about this reminds me of the story of the ice Queen, I don't know, what do you think.Either way it's another poem packed with honesty and feeling.Love Duncan
