Rusted Mechanical Heart

Just an old sappy stupid love poem.

Rusted Mechanical Heart

 

A rusted-mechanical heart

Sits in an antique chest

Alone in darkness

It waits

(Patiently)

 

Its gears worn from abuse

Broken from disrepair

Loves oil spent

It binds

(Painfully)

 

Its once gleaming-golden interior

Now tarnished insecurities

Awaits the chance

To shine

(Again)

 

All it requires is affectionate polishing

A little TLC will do just fine

To fire her up again

This time

(For Good)

 

The key is already in the lock

Slowly open it right back up

Place it in your hands

&

Love it

(Forever)

This mechanical clock is dividing time as it hungers for moments of endearment. There must be a good reason for it to be aware of the passing of time. “It waits (patiently)” in anticipation of purpose. This poem has a beautiful free verse structure where each line is like the passionate tick of this clock.
