Breakable hearts

 

Sometimes love has to act

outside the boundaries of social law,--

the sharply calculating basis

of the customized decree,

And gift oneself the unique commandment;

allowing oneself just pure love,--

awakening into a new self,

an uncustomized, exclusive existence.

 

Not all hearts are breakable;

only some are,

The unbreakable hearts are the stony forts

for safekeeping falsehood

and debilitating conventions,

It’s the breakable hearts

that have the fluidity and mellowness

to seep and creep

out of the curtailing maze

and give you the gift of a distinctive being

in a fresh, unused cast.
