The Mind in the Affairs of the Heart

Seeing hearing windows,

Sensation to the heart,

You know how it feels,

Fondness over hate.

Foreseeable in times,

A hope in compassion,

The heart blooms flowers,

Flowers enlighten the mind.

Believing casts fears,

Knowledge dries a yowl,

Perfection takes practice,

Testing facts to jolly.

Caring touches the heart,

When an illusion's precious,

Heart's hardened cold,

Melting with loving hopes.

On one hand hating,

A secret to the heart,

On the other hand loving,

A power to the heart.

Mind heart in pieces,

Demanding and nagging,

Better unshared moments,

Bitter sweet experiencing.

Fantasy in heydays,

Cherishing and assuring,

Amassing broken pieces,

Mind's heart coordinating.

The heart off shrugs,

What's believing's loving,

Windows open doors.

Mind's new page starting.
