when the heart wants
and the mind knows
©12-22-08 Hannah Muonio
my mind drolly rolls
bowling over emotions
scattering affections that just have to go
this stubborn heart
unchanging
frustrating
mind cannot conquer
and yet refuses to admit defeat
a slow joust
between understood and beyond:
mind fathoms but heart disagrees
logic crushes but heart clings
reason quenches but heart beats
pain meets beauty face to face and turns away
reality rushes headlong into hope and cannot penetrate
but a will to not wallow
intervenes in this stalemate of heart and mind
to learn to walk when
what is and what cannot be cripples
and so it goes
my heart skips soulfully
and my mind drolly rolls
