What is the allure of a love forbidden? What makes a love so driven? What causes a heart to be weak and yearn? For, lives love lessons, we're supposed learn. I've always been strong, tried to do what's right. But, have fought feelings of you with all my might. The mind does not accept what the heart does feel. Standing next to you does send my senses to reel. The logic of this is more than I can take. My bodies' betraying my mind, it must be a mistake! My eyes see you, palms clammy, heart beats faster. My heart has declared war with my head, disaster! What is my heart telling me that I can not see? And perhaps this is life's lesson for me. Head and heart finally agree to disagree. Is it part of human nature or human fraility? And finally heart and head are one in bitter happiness. They both want what they can not possess. |

Amen, Gemini! We always seem to want what we can't have or what we know we shouldn't have. Either way, it's a painful place to be. One has to be strong enough to discern between what we need and what we want. And many times they are indeed in direct conflict. Nice work. "That man has shown himself great who has never grieved in evil days and never bewailed his destiny." --Seneca |

Gemini~ i LOVED this. you must be in my head these days lol. you summed up quite how i feel at times about a special someone in my life. i say just go with what's in the heart and let the rest go...enjoy the moment. but i always was a fool. lol. take care. amy  "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

I just like to say possession is an interesting topic..... Please tell me about your dreams and I will look deep into them for you. Maybe we can define this possesiiveness Freud [This message has been edited by Sigmund Freud (edited 06-08-2000).] |

Yes Gem I know this feeling too. Often the things we want the most are not what is best for us. It is hard to accept sometimes, but there is always something better to come... |

Reminds me of the old Eddy Arnold song: You give your hand to me and then you say hello well I can hardly speak my heart is beating so. and anyone can tell you think you know me well but you don't know me. No you don't know the one who dreams of you each night who longs to kiss your lips who longs to hold you tight to you I'm just a friend and that's all it's ever been but you don't know me. You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye I see you walk away with that lucky guy To never never know the one who loves you so because you don't know me. sorry to go on so - it's a very nice poem.. |

sea_of_okc: I learned a variation of: If you love something set it free...it will come back to you in some form or another, I hold on to that hope and dream. Thank you for responding. |
