My Bloody Beating Heart

If you took my beating heart out of my body,

Still connected, and working, but clearly visible

You would see, the signs would be tangible

The way I react to your mind, soul and body

-

My heart beating faster, my blood pressure rising

You may call it gory, all bloody and distasteful

In its own special way, though, I say it's beautiful

My heart beating faster and constantly resizing

-

Your intellect, wisdom and the fact that you care

The way you believe in me, push and support me

Your deep love of animals, art, crafts and the sea

Your curves, your smile and your soft blonde hair

-

Although we've been through so many ups and downs

and though the bad days have been far too many to count

We're still together, facing problems as they surmount

And when you are near, my heartbeat still loudly sounds.

This was my response to a Vocal + Assist Facebook Group writing challenge.

The theme of the poem is Blood Pressure and use the word Beautiful and a word that rhymes with it in the poem.

Thanks for reading my poem!
