Cor Meum Caput Meum (My Heart My Head)

My latest book, Seedy Town Blues is available on Amazon.com

Pages turn,
chapters end,
books are finished.
With resolution, and head
held high, I'll
fly away to somewhere
safer, where there's
less pain.
I try to love you,
but you just
push me away.
The heart is a
silly dreamer.
It sees life as it
should be...could be,
and not as it
really is.
The head sees what
the heart doesn't.
Emotions can be as
treacherous as a
rabid dog or a
razor blade.
I wish I were a
redwood or a rosebush,
or even a dandelion
just
swaying in the
breeze.

It might be nice being a plant that has no nerves to feel pain. A strong write Thomas.

Really like this one. Emotions may be treacherous in their fashion, but it's our job to barter in them all the same. Dreams too, maybe... cheers

those shoulds and coulds stand in the way of loving where we are in life...and feeling with the head what the heart can't.
