In the midst of my table, <br />Lied a cordate book, <br />Bound by the thickest cord. <br />In it was kept my heart’s desire, <br />Enclosed with capabilities, <br />And with passions of fire. <br />I drew out my sword, <br />The Word of God, <br />And broke the bonds apart. <br />To read all of the intentions, <br />Written in my heart. <br />Oh the evil! <br />Of that which was written, <br />Left me greatly smitten! <br /> <br />Copyright © Christian Ratnam 2007 <br />ALL RIGHTS RESERVED<br /><br />Christian Eliab Ratnam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-2-the-heart-uncovered/
