A Heart For Sale Poem by Akhtar Jawad

A Heart For Sale

Rating: 5.0


A heart is for sale,
It's old and stale,
Sometimes insane,
Sometimes profane,
Sometimes it's liked,
But often is disliked!
Cracked all-round,
But is still profound!
Has a funny caricature
It's allotropic in nature,
It's a veiled black coal,
If you make it your goal,
Pay your love as its price,
You'll find it nice,
It may appear on your cheeks,
As a mole she seeks,
Or at your lovely peaks,
Like a diamond that weeks,
Your controlled sentiments,
If you need ornaments!
It can change its shape,
No need of a rape,
It will wave its tail,
Like a convict in jail,
You are rich in love,
It's cheap like a dove,
With a branch of olive,
Struggling to survive!

Is the price fixed or is it negotiable....? Tell me the final price! Let me see if it is affordable! Though old and stale, it is sound and full of energy, I bet! Enjoyed!

To have a big heart to embrace and welcome with the pureness of goodness and everlasting hope is the true worth of mankind!

I will gladly purchase a heart that is pure of truth, wise to lies, kind to the blind, spirited to reality, buoyant to individuality, and committed to universal love. That is the heart of a poet. Besides I hear they are as tasty as apples
