The organ's Tune

The organ's Tune     

 

 

heart throb

heart throbs

throbs in affection,

throbs in longing

throbs in missing

and then in pain,

 

and the dull throb of ache

heart to heart

heart with heart

heart from heart

 

heart for you

heart with you

heart severed in two,

 

 

heart throb

heart throbs

heart sobs

 

without you to help it beat.

There are some who play the human heart like an instrument; others who, almost always, get played.
Don't rightly know what either of these statements has to do with your poem, but they're, pretty much, all I've got.
Except, of course, to add that I very much enjoyed this piece.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

they have very much to do with the poem...playing and being played in the end...you have a lot, Jimmy, in your writings and your reviews...

thank you

Reminds me of a class in college. Had to interpret an organ concert. Heavy music. Hard to describe the total body experience of the music.
Then the heart beat quietly and totally deafening at once.
I can hear and feel the music in this poetry Jacob.

Like "Einstein Noodle" below, I misunderstood the "organ". This is one of those poems that gets more meaning with every read.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your words, Marcus..

misunderstood the "organ" so was waiting for the music ;} ... thoughtful poem .. a good one to think about each line and let it set in a bit ... such a conundrum is the human heart ...

"heart throb
heart throbs
throbs in affection,
throbs in longing
throbs in missing
and then in pain,"

You are welcome...:)...............

[andrew mitchell]

when I was younger I think two organs followed this tune of which one you have mentioned and the other.... well you know! :) They both could be a pain! :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

ah yes, thank you, andrew.
