Heartbroken Hearts

Lugesan Reddy 1985 (Toronto)

Ode
When love is fresh,
the heart it primes.
Each breath we take feels pampered.

Through break-ups or
death's sinister crimes,
like damaged cars, heart's tampered.

But forget the files!
It's smiles and miles,
that lies within, unhampered.

So when a new
journey arrives,
enjoy the ride, unscampered.

About this poem

One of the things we ask when buying a car is whether it was involved in an accident. We check the files... how many owners, how many accidents, etc. I feel that while this has merit, the car could provide a lot of joy still. Same with people who have been heartbroken. Don't judge the past too much. The future could still be fun.
