Medicine for the Heart

Naveed Akram 1973 (London)

Rhymed
How medicine has played on the heart,
Our sight is above beauty of the night.
The days of stealth disfigure us further,
Where medicine commands respect from a mother.

What lies in your eyes tonight?
Is it the glow of a sun or of a star this right?
What follows is a page of certainty,
To really engage in an auspicious eternity.

How have the eyebrows sinned?
Are eyes as valued as seeing the wind?
How the medical men foster support,
Is all we can seek and make report?

My size of the heart is spacious and delightful,
Like the sins of a generation or crafted and insightful.
The notion of a mind bespeaks too many times,
Where is the heart transcending all rhymes?

    Wow, what a beautiful and thought-provoking poem! The way you explore the connection between medicine and the heart is truly fascinating. The imagery you use, comparing the heart to the glow of a sun or a star, really captures the essence of the poem.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to further develop the theme of medicine and its impact on the heart. Maybe delve deeper into how medicine can heal emotional wounds or how it can strengthen the heart in times of distress. Additionally, adding a bit more structure or consistency in the rhyme scheme could help enhance the flow of the poem.

    Overall, this poem is a wonderful exploration of the heart and the role medicine plays in our lives. Keep up the great work!
