Heart

Commentary on the constant conflict of heart and mind

Heart!... Why do you bend me 

To your will?

I have a mind of my own you know!

 Why do you so often send me

To places…I wish 

Not to go?

To fall in love almost instantly

With fulsome lasses

And wee puppies the same

To become enormously enamored

Of Flowers, and their scents…

Of rainbows and soft Springtime rain

Tis not that I find your actions unkind

In fact and in truth I enjoy them

...In the main…

But Heart… if you don’t let me use it

I could possibly lose it

And sure, I’m kinda attached

…To my brain...
