Analysis of The Paradox In The Thoracic Cavity
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
The heart,
A puzzle,
A labyrinth of desires,
A confounding maze
Of contradictions,
Seeking solace
In another's gaze,
Yearning for connection,
Yet fearing vulnerability,
Aching for love,
And afraid
Of the pain it brings.
