Answer:

The heart is an epitome of Love

Step-by-step explanation:

In this poem the poet begins by stating that a heart is "neither red nor sweet." This goes against the common social ideas of what a heart is like. Dove goes against the idea that our heart connects to our emotions "doesn't melt or turn over, break or harden". The heart is an epitome of Love (the theme).
