THE HEART'S ODYSSEY



the heart's odyssey is like a ship's voyage
during heavy storms, the ship fights to remain virtuous, similarly, the heart struggles to remain collected 
— the heavy storms, metaphoric for a lover's tormenting love 

the storms are terrible, they are malicious, merciless and a colossal menace 
the sea, once a friend, becomes a foe
like a lover, once loved, now deeply agonized 

the voyage continues to go across dauntlessly
the heart's odyssey battles to stay intact to go across the sea 
corny, like a lover would heave, "I'd cross oceans for you" 

yet it is all too alike 
no matter the determination, if the opposing force remains its brutality, it will all be sheer wreckage 
the ship will be tossed and broken
the heart will be tossed and mutilated 

both gasping for air to breathe with the intent to live to see another day
but the sea only commands a final wave of destruction
just like how a lover would send a multitude of
knives 
to the heart 
until it can no longer bear to endure 

all will break 
the mighty ship will drown 
the surrendered heart will sink into the bottomless pit 
of nothing —
but excruciating pain
and endless torture
