This is very good. The heart is a honeycomb. Love is the honey itself.. Brian

Sacred tombs with locks that never rust...well put, so very well put. The last line is the nail in the coffin which only holds the lid tight until we reach again. I love this poem because it is true to life and put in perfect order..Great work!

An amazingly touchy poem with beautiful imagery, like those tiny compartments of a honeycomb, some having a silent, sacred tomb of dead desires, hopes and aspirations in each, and the broad compartments of faith, love, hope and trust. So nicely written and easily understood, is the beauty of the poem.10/10!

the compartmentalization of heartbreak and heartache we all keep inside can and will bring an early demise. If we can't lay them to rest.

this poem connects us to aldous huxley's idea man is an amphibian, or to be more accurate, man is five or six amphibians rolled into one...simultaneously he keeps on conquering n confronting many folds n layers of his inner self that is divided into many cells n not-selves...you write deep...adeline.

A well written metaphor, and its wonderful thought that you created the 4 chamber of hearts into faith, love, hope and trust. And with the triscuspid valve and mitral valve as the doors. A very creative poem. I like it.

The first word that comes to my mind upon reading this poem is: Mercy. That is what this speaks to me; it's beautiful, it's deep... and it is true. Wonderful poem.
