a man's heart is too large


it is large enough to encompass a million seas

or a few disingenuous women


a man's heart is large enough to compose words,

and throw them out the next day


a man's mind would like to be larger

than a man's heart

but love is a feeling we pursue,

else we succumb to self-important drudgery


a man's heart is fragile,

moreso than a woman's


a woman is strong in her eligibility,

a man is weak in his reeling showcases, uncertain

but confident


the next time you see a man

quarreling senselessly

or quivering with bitterness,

in his solitude

remember-

his heart is too large

and he cannot figure

what to do with it.
