my heart is

my heart is a sunless forest
teeming with hungry roots of figtree
groping crawling wringing arching knotting
reaching out to the toofar blue sky

my heart is a wingless cricket
twitching and pulsing its retching legs
against the brittle glass of its mind
stridulating fiercely to be heard

my heart is an anchorless boat
drifting in the parenthesis of the lost loves
its sails eagerly capturing the winds
but no direction does it veer into

my heart is an inkless pen 
scribbling away on an invisible page 
rumpled by two overactive hands
and thrown in the fire of forgetfulness
