My Heart-Throb

heart has 
always been 
a great pump
this I learnt 
when I was 
in school
but the 
truth still 
remains 
unknown.

I have seen 
the hearts 
of cadavers
how thick 
and cold 
their flesh 
were
but the 
truth 
remains - my 
heart-throb.

though little 
truths do 
people know 
about heart
yet more and 
more of my 
heart-throb 
I know
but the 
truth is - 
it's more 
than an idol 
to me.
